Menorca

Arrival at Menorca. Transfer from the airport to the hotel in Maó (optional) where you will spend the first night.

In the morning, we organise a transfer to the lighthouse of Favaritx. Today’s itinerary crosses the Nature Reserve of Albufera des Grau. The walk starts in the lunar landscape of Cape Favaritx, with spectacular views over the rugged coast and unspoilt coves. The path leads to the beach of Tortuga, a perfect spot for a swim. From the beach of Tortuga the path turns inland and through the Menorcan countryside where typical drywall constructions are in perfect harmony with the rolling green fields.

You will arrive at Es Grau, where you can visit S’Albufera. From here you continue to the beach of Sa Mesquida, where a transfer will take you to Mahón (to avoid 4km of asphalt path).

We will arrange a transfer to Cala en Porter. You will start your route at Cala en Porter to reach Son Bou Beach, the largest of the island, where you will find a paleo-Christian basilica and a dune bar of a great ecologic value. You will head inland to find the orchards of Prat de Son Bou or the Ses Canessies lagoon, the most important after the Natural Park.

You will arrive at Sant Tomàs towards the end of the walking day.

Today is known as the ‘ravines hike’, because you will cross the most important and spectacular ravines of the island. You leave the hotel to cross the beach of Sant Tomàs and Sant Adeodat and go to the beach of Binigaus. At the beginning of your hike you can visit the caves of Es Coloms. You will go across the croplands of Binigaus, the ravines of Trebalúger and Es Calafat. Then you will continue until the idyllic Cala Mitjana that precedes the virgin corner of Cala Mitjaneta. You will follow the path until you arrive at Cala Galdana. At the Algendar ravine of Cala Galdana, you will spot various bird species, and you can explore caves and grottos.

Today is one of the most spectacular days of your trek, crossing the turquoise coves of Menorca. You begin the hike to Cala Galdana to get to Cala Macarella and Macarelleta, where many aquatic species co-exist among the reeds of Santa Anna. Then, crossing wild olive and juniper woods, you will arrive at the dunes of the paradisiacal beach of Cala en Turqueta. Along the route, you will pass through protected areas with rocky areas are intersected by ravines and creeks. Before arriving to Son Saura, take time to relax in Cala Talaier almost the paradise.

We will arrange a transfer from Son Saura to the Ciutadella Hotel.

We will arrange a transfer to today’s starting point. The walk will lead you through a rocky coastal area, where you will spot some predatory birds’ low flying and some sheep gazing. You will come across some hypogeum, underground cisterns and a cross in remembrance of the General Chanzy sinking. The dune system shows a very dense endemic vegetation. At this place, next to a necropolis, there is a small water spring. At Pla de Mar, you will discover a mine and a stony stretch. Along the trail, you will cross wooded areas inhabited by forest birds and mammals. You continue to La Pilar Beach.
