A charming whitewashed town located in the center-west of the island, serving as the industrial and craft hub of Menorca. It is technically the highest town on the island and is uniquely situated in a fertile valley surrounded by rolling hills. Known historically for its ironworking roots, the town has evolved into a global powerhouse for high quality footwear, including the famous traditional leather sandals worn across the Balearics. Walking through its narrow and hilly streets, you will find a traditional working atmosphere that remains very much connected to its agricultural and artisan heritage.

The town is also a gateway to some of the most impressive natural landmarks on the island, including the spectacular Algendar ravine which stretches six kilometres toward the south coast. To the north, visitors can explore the historic ruins of the Santa Agueda castle, which offers panoramic views from one of the highest peaks in Menorca. Ferreries is celebrated for its authentic local festivals in August and its lively weekly markets that showcase the best of island produce and craftsmanship. Whether you are browsing the local factory shops for leather goods or hiking through the lush countryside, Ferreries provides a genuine look at the working life and natural beauty of central Menorca.
