The starting point is the car park at Sant Tomas beach (free), but you can start anywhere in the village. It's a short, easy walk with some fairly shaded sections. There are no particular difficulties, but the location is not signposted from the beach.
Cava des Coloms from Sant Tomas
A short round trip to visit the majestic Cava des Coloms cave, taking the route from St Tomas and the beaches of Binigaus (nothing better to cool off a little on the way back!), and a short detour to the top of the hill.

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 Ciutadella (Balearic Islands)
Sun-drenched coves, in shades of blue and green, interspersed with views of the open sea and dazzling white cliffs. This return route along the Cami de Cavalls (GR®223), through the heath, is not particularly difficult, with little elevation gain, is well signposted, and is perfect for a swim.

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.
