Jazz, gastronomy and Menorca: a perfect getaway with flavor and music featuring Melissa Aldana

Menorca once again blends culture, landscape and gastronomy in an irresistible proposal for travelers with refined taste and a passion for music. On March 27, 2026, the Teatre Municipal des Born in Ciutadella will host one of the standout concerts of the 28th Menorca Jazz Festival: Chilean saxophonist Melissa Aldana, one of the leading figures in contemporary international jazz.

Starting at 8:30 pm, the concert promises a sophisticated and vibrant evening, ideal for those seeking a complete cultural experience on the island. Aldana will be joined by a top-level quartet featuring Pablo Held on piano, Pablo Menares on double bass and Kush Abadey on drums.

This musical event is the perfect excuse to plan a weekend getaway to Menorca, especially designed for traveling foodies. Before the concert, visitors can enjoy Ciutadella’s rich culinary scene, from restaurants offering reinterpreted Menorcan cuisine to venues where local products such as Mahón-Menorca cheese, sobrasada and local wines can be savored.

The festival, sponsored by brands such as Estrella Damm and Xoriguer, reinforces Menorca’s image as a destination that combines authenticity, culture and quality. Tickets, available from €23, make this unique experience—connecting music, place and Mediterranean lifestyle—accessible to all.

This spring, Menorca doesn’t just sound like jazz—it invites you to taste it.
