  Ciutadella an historic town that has held up well to the pressure of tourism in the twentieth century. It was originally named by the Carthaginians who called it Jamma, and was the original capital of Menorca until the British came along and moved it to Mahon in the eighteen century. But Ciutadella still remains the religious capital of Menorca.  
  Most people will enter Ciutadella for the first time by road driving past the new statue, on the roundabout on the new city bypass. It is a magnificent statue of a rearing stallion and symbolizes the famous Ciutadella fiesta "Fiesta de San Juan". Usually celebrated at the end of June, not to be missed if your lucky enough to be here when it is on.  
     
  The harbour a narrow inlet is one of the smallest ports in the Mediterranean. Here, sitting in good company, at one of the harbour side cafe's you can experience to me what Menorca is all about. Relaxed and bathed in sunshine watching the boats bob up and down and the people strolling by the worries of the world vanish.  
     
  One of best places to view the harbour is from the main square, Plaza de's Born. The centre of the square is dominated by an obelisk which commemorates the defence of the city in 1558 when It was attacked by the Moors.  
     
  Aqua Park in Cala Forcat is a water park. It's not very big and really wouldn't be of much interest to the older child but it is perfect for 3-9 yr. olds. There are a few short flumes, slides etc. The park is extremely clean, the restaurant is good value ( great pizzas ) and best of all it is very safe for the little ones ( enclosed, lifeguard etc. ) you pay one price which covers the whole day - under 3's free and this included a bouncy castle play area. Throughout the day you can come and go as you please -they just stamp your hand so you can get back in. It opens  at 10 am and shuts around 6 The park can be found on the main road going into Cala Forcat - near to Hotel Los Delphines.  
     
  Aqua Rock Cala Bosc water park larger than Calan Forcat, open till around 6pm Half price after 3pm. The park includes Four big slides, including the Black hole and the Kamikaze.

  Shopping  
     
  There is an abundance of Shops in Cala'N Forcat selling just about any souvenirs, clothing, food or article you might need whilst on Holiday. If you're self catering  the cheapest shops for food, etc. are generally to be found on the main street running through the resort. The local supermarkets within the apartment complexes, whilst being nearer, do tend to charge higher prices for that privilege.  
     
  Recommended Supermarket (Supermarcado): The "Tesco" in the circular "Centro Comercial" Shopping arcade on the main street. Cheap and well stocked with all the "essentials" you may need. Advertised "Tesco" name in window as they carry imported "Tesco" own brand goods too.  
     
  The "Centro Comercial" is a circular winding arcade of small shops selling just about anything you could want, that you walk round via an upwardly winding mall that ends at the top by "Bar Davids". You can get some great photos of the area from this viewpoint. This arcade also features the only dedicated "Tobac" shop for all those tobacco products you may want to bring home.. Also the "Perfum" store here sells a wide range of perfumes and cosmetics at reasonable prices.
