Menorca has long been regarded as the quietest of the three islands that make up the Spanish Balearics, but the holiday isle, much favoured by British and other European tourists, is set to steal the limelight for a while at least with the King's Cup for Classic Yachts.

The Spanish island of Menorca has long been regarded as the quietest of the three islands that make up the Spanish Balearics, but the holiday isle, much favoured by British and other European tourists, is set to steal the limelight for a while at least with the King's Cup for Classic Yachts.

Young Europeans flock to Ibiza for the island's clubs and nightlife, and they are quite happy to pay for it. Often still living at home, and with plenty of disposable income, young Brits, Italians and Germans are spending more per person on their trips than the conventional family on their villa and hotel breaks on neighbouring islands Menorca and Majorca.

Weekend clubbers from around Europe, and especially from the UK and Germany, descend upon Ibiza in the summer months for a week - and often two - of non stop partying.
