How to get there
The easiest route is through Mahón, where you will take the road to San Luis. Follow the signs to Binibeca (Binibèquer in Catalan) right away, and drive through Binibèquer Vell. The town is about 8 kilometres from Mahón and belongs to San Luis municipality.
What to see
What is most striking when arriving in Binibeca is, as if portrayed in a postcard, the image of houses built in this town as in a tourist complex. They are all white and share a very special architecture, creating a magical synchronization among them.
Oh, do not stay in the car! What is really worthwhile is diving into an entertaining time of walking through its narrow alleys and discovering the hidden charm in all its corners. This area is known as Binibèquer Vell.
Most houses are currently inhabited, so it is important to keep that in mind when visiting and avoid excessive noise. In fact, you will be able to see signs concerning this issue that kindly ask for silence with a “Please, be quiet”.
The flora embellishes this beautiful little village, especially the bougainvillea, which natural and striking colours are particularly prevailing to the eye of the visitor.
The doors, shutters and the particular brown wooden fences stand out against the white facades.
If you are keen on photography, you will have a blast here!
The streets will lead to the harbour, where several boats are usually moored. You will also find several interesting souvenir shops where to browse for a while and before taking a well-deserved rest on the terrace of one of the local bars overlooking the sea. This will allow you to fully absorb the magic in the air.
