In the development of Platges de Fornells, procedures have begun to allow the construction of 116 villas and 297 hotel beds. During the environmental assessment phase, GOB has written to the Balearic Government to warn that there is no water available in the aquifer.
This development in the north of Menorca started its procedures in 1969, when it was declared a National Tourism Interest Centre by the Francoist Ministry of Tourism. Construction began in the 1980s, and the Island Territorial Plan of 2003 redefined its configuration, as happened with many other planned tourist growths.

Custòdia Agrària, GOB Menorca’s land stewardship programme, has consolidated the Visitam un lloc (We visit a farm) field visits throughout 2025. This environmental education activity is part of the programme’s social engagement area and aims to offer students of all ages a direct and experiential understanding of the key role played by the primary sector in conserving Menorca’s landscape and its biodiversity. The activity is adapted for students in early childhood, primary and secondary education, as well as post-compulsory studies, from vocational training to adult education.
Throughout this year, 42 visits have taken place at agricultural holdings in Menorca, with the participation of nearly 900 students from different schools across the island. The visits allow students to spend a morning in the countryside and gain first-hand insight into different agricultural production models, all committed to sustainable management and the preservation of Menorca’s agrarian mosaic.
