Just like the birds, but without the same mobility, Menorca’s flora is very varied despite the limited terrain. The best time to really enjoy indigenous flora and species is in the spring or the autumn, as the island’s countryside is very dry in the summer months when rain is scarce. We recommend you contacting the GOB to arrange a guided plant and flower tour.
