Hi Mike, Good morning, welcome to the forum! Menorca is a wonderful island and is quite different to the mainland. It is also very different in summer and winter. A normal summer, obviously not this year, is busy. The season is pretty short though. Who knows what next year will bring! As regard to areas, there are definitely resort areas good for letting out with a license, but which are very quiet in the winter, some with very few facilities. Most people who are residents here will live in one of the towns or the countryside. 100k pounds or euros won't by a lot, but I'm sure you are keeping your eye on the property websites. Do get in touch again if you need more help in that direction! With regard to your daughter. Does she speak Spanish or Catalan. It would help if she would be prepared to learn a bit. There isn't much employment here. In fact there is a high level of unemployment sadly. Having said that, if she was happy to do studying online or only to work the summer months or even to set up an online business of some sort she could survive!
Best wishes in your planning, so much to consider. We did all that 6 years ago now and really haven't regretted it at all!
