Other walks in the area
From Serra des Boc to Cavalleria Lighthouse
A lovely walk along the rugged coastline and past magnificent coves. It’s a must-see in Menorca.
The lighthouse is situated at the very northern tip of the island.
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.
From Cala Mitjana to Cala Macarelleta
Start from the car park for the beaches, just at the entrance to Galenda on the left before the roundabout. The walk follows the "Cami de Cavalls" and passes a viewpoint as well as beaches and restaurants.
From Es Grau to the Favaritx lighthouse
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.
From Cala Galdena to Platja de Binigaus
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.
Between the heath and the seaside on the Cami de Cavalls
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.
Cala Turqueta and Cala Macarella
A circular route from Cala Tuqueta, allowing you to stop at three magnificent beaches in the south of Menorca: Turqueta, Macarelletta and Macarella. A hike without any particular difficulty, but which requires caution on the sections off the main path.
From Maó to Es Grau
A walk starting from the Church of Santa Maria, on the island’s east coast; a route with a slight climb but no real difficulty, featuring beaches, small villages and a museum. The path doesn’t offer much shade in hot weather, but there are stunning views all along the way. At the end of the walk, you’re guaranteed a swim at Es Grau with its beautiful fine-sand beach.
