Roqueta magazine was first launched in 1973. It has been described as a ‘Window on Menorca’ or a ‘Chronicle of Life on Menorca’. It is the much-loved magazine for English speaking residents and visitors who want to find out what is happening, how they can get involved and how to get maximum enjoyment out of their time spent on the island.

John and I have lived in Menorca for over 20 years. We were interviewed by Anabel (Editor and guardian of the magazine for over 40 years) for Grapevine when we first arrived in Ciutadella in 2002 to start our business Holiday Hires… and yes, we are still together! For 15 years we ran the RYA sailing school and yacht charter business in Mahon. I worked as an Editor in publishing for much of my career in the UK, and John has experience in print production and new technologies. We always had one eye on the magazine and we are delighted to have been able to take over the helm from Angie and Duncan.
Our aim is to investigate and uncover the exciting things that are happening all over the island and to talk to the people involved. We will then present these stories to you in a way which we hope will be informative, entertaining and always helpful.
