To start with ... 3 maxims about the Naveta des Tudons in a motorhome
1 Be responsible in a motorhome: the island is small, do not overcrowd, you see in low season
Before going to Menorca by motorhome you should know that it is a very very small island, so much so that in an hour by motorhome you travel it from end to end. That and the fact that the parking spaces are very small makes the best time to go to Menorca by motorhome is always out of high season, that is, outside of July and August whenever you want.
If you go in July and August in a motorhome, a recommendation: stay in one of the two campsites on the island and get around by motorcycle or in a small rental car.
2 Under no circumstances do you camp, be responsible, camping is totally prohibited on the island
Camping is prohibited in all of Spain, but Menorca is also a UNESCO Biosphere Heritage Site, for which all the more reason we must be the most respectful of the environment.
We know that the vigilance by the civil guard on the island is maximum before the encampments and that they are fined 200 euros for it because of what colleagues from the island have told us. So, do not camp and do not spend the night in the forbidden places.
REMEMBER, CAMPING IS OUTSTANDING THE PERIMETER OF YOUR VEHICLE (take out table and chairs, awning, open windows ...).

La Naveta des Tudons by motorhome what to see and do
If you like history and archaeological sites, Menorca has a lot to offer you. And this is a must-see destination!
Come to La Naveta Des Tudons by motorhome or camper, the most famous prehistoric monument in Menorca and the Balearic Islands. It is said to be the oldest building in all of Europe. So, you are in front of a fascinating milestone.
A bit of theory: navetas are the oldest funerary monuments that are remembered. They were built around 1000 BC and belong to the Talayotic culture of the island of Menorca. No type of cement was used in its construction and they are only embedded stones. It is impressive!
The Naveta Des Tudons was found and unearthed in the middle of the last century. During the excavations, bodies were found accompanied by the personal objects with which they were buried, so we know that collective burials were carried out there.
To this day, access to the interior of the Naveta Des Tudons is prohibited for security reasons, but access to see it is free.
Where is?
On the Mahón-Ciudadela road, 4 kilometers from Ciudadela, there is the detour.
Where to park and spend the night in the Naveta des Tudons in a motorhome
In the parking lot just in front of the access road to the Naveta des Tudons, you can park without problem. Being next to the road, we do not advise you to spend the night. To spend the night 10 minutes away you have the Es Mercadal motorhome area, the only one on the island but for us an essential base camp on our route through Menorca by motorhome.
