Souvenirs from Menorca: What to Buy and Where to Find Authentic Keepsakes

The airport souvenir is always the same: a fridge magnet with a flag, a t-shirt with a joke that isn’t funny, a plastic keyring made anywhere but Menorca. If you want to bring home something that genuinely says “this is from the island,” the list looks different. Here’s the guide to what to buy and where to find it.

Menorcan avarca magnets (not the sandals)

Avarcas are Menorca’s traditional footwear, but the souvenir you’ll find in our shops is the avarca-shaped magnet — a miniature, decorative version made to take home without taking up any space in your suitcase. It’s one of the island’s most recognisable and most requested keepsakes.

Palm baskets and bags

The woven palm basket is another classic that has gone from farm tool to full-blown summer accessory. They come in different sizes and finishes — from the classic basket to versions designed more as a beach bag or everyday tote.

Gastronomic souvenirs

If the souvenir can be eaten or drunk, even better. A piece of well-packed Mahón-Menorca PDO cheese, an artisan sobrasada or a bottle of Xoriguer Gin are keepsakes genuinely enjoyed once you’re home, not ones that end up in a drawer. If you’re not sure where to start, we have a full list in our guide to 15 gastronomic gifts from Menorca.

Beach and kids’ bags and accessories

Menorca is beach, and there are souvenirs made exactly for that — sand-proof bags, accessories for the little ones, and simple items that recall the island without being tacky.

Local crafts

We round out the selection with crafts made on the island — pieces you won’t find in a generic souvenir shop because they don’t come from a wholesale catalogue, but from local artisans.

Where to buy authentic souvenirs in Menorca

This whole selection — avarcas, baskets, crafts and gastronomic souvenirs — is available at our three shops: at the Port of Mahón, in Mahón town centre and in Sant Climent. You can browse the full catalogue on our souvenirs from Menorca page before you visit, or combine everything with gastronomic products in a personalized gourmet basket.
