Ibiza, Spain ( pressreleases ) November 21, 2011 - Despite gaining notoriety as a prime summer hotspot, there’s far more to the Balearic island of Menorca than the pristine white beaches, aqua Mediterranean Sea and factor 30 temperatures- selling points which continuously persuade British holidaymakers to come back to the island each summer. However, the serene town of Ciutadella is gaining its fair share of the popularity, and with RitmoCars offering cheap car hire in Menorca , it’s becoming the perfect location for a family day out.

Ciutadella de Menorca (as it’s locally known) is the islands second largest town, and was historically Menorca’s cultural and commercial capital during former British rule. It’s winding, maze-like streets; delightful restaurants and historic Italian architecture make it a must see during a stay in Menorca.

Situated west of the island, Ciutadella is easily accessible via the ME-1, Menorca’s main motorway, and will provide some cultural indulgence for families wishing to soak-up a little local history during their holiday.

With origins dating back to the Roman era, the town has managed to keep its authentic semblance by limiting modern development in the area. Old churches are free for visitors to roam and restaurants typically serve traditional Menorcan cuisines.

With hundreds of vehicles available for tourists throughout the year, RitmoCars have become one of the leading car hire services across the Balearic Islands. What first started primarily as a Mallorca car hire service now expands across Menorca, Formentera and Ibiza too- with the aim of encouraging visitors to hit the open road and explore the islands lesser known coastal towns and villages.

A spokesperson for RitmoCars said today:

“Ciutadella is one of the island’s most charming towns. We [RitmoCars] constantly persuade tourists to go and visit this little historical part of the island.”

“It gives tourists the chance to immerse themselves in Menorca’s historic culture, which is unfortunately lacking in others parts of island. With a large variety of restaurants and bars available, it’s also great for spending a relaxing evening in too.”

By following three simple steps, holidaymakers can book their car hire online before travelling to the island; avoiding the unnecessary hassle trying to sort out car hire upon arrival at the airport. With a large fleet of vehicles and excellent turnarounds guaranteed, Ritmo Menorca Car hire gives holidaymakers the freedom to explore Menorca via the open road- discovering a side of the island tour buses rarely glimpse.
