Departure from Ferreries (Balearic Islands)
This is a circular route on Menorca, which is quite rare. Starting from Cala Galdena, a charming seaside resort in the south of Menorca, you will discover some of the most beautiful beaches and coves on the island: Cala Mitjana, Cala Trebaluger and Binigaus Beach. It's hard to resist the turquoise waters and white sand beckoning you. For a change of pace, the return journey is via the famous Cami de Cavalls (GR® 223), an unmissable trail that circles the entire island. The entire route is on marked trails, so it's impossible to get lost.

Departure from Maó (Balearic Islands)
For me, this hike is one of Menorca's must-dos. It crosses the s'Albufera des Grau Natural Park before joining the Cami de Cavalls (GR®223). The coastline and coves along the way to the Favaritx Lighthouse are magnificent. This is a round trip, so there is no need to go all the way to the lighthouse if you are tired, as you can see it in the distance from the coves.

Ready to embark on a getaway where the Mediterranean is your constant companion? From the moment you set off from Cala Moll, let yourself be carried away by the waves lapping against the rocks, while the path reveals pearly coves and cliffs bathed in light.

Put on your walking shoes and let the sea breeze carry you away as you set off from Cala Moll. The path clings to the cliffs, where the turquoise sea murmurs beneath your feet.
Soon, the Capdepera lighthouse appears on the horizon, a granite guardian watching over the sparkling waters. Continue towards Pointe de l'Olla, between secret coves and sculpted rocks, before reaching Pointe des Gullo, the setting for wild panoramas and moments suspended in time.
Between sky, sea and light, this route invites you to savour the essentials, in a rugged and vital harmony.
