Things to discover while hiking in Menorca

Minorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands and is known for its varied and fascinating landscape among hikers. Since 1993, UNESCO has declared a large part of the island a Biosphere Reserve, thus creating large protected areas, which today offer a wide variety of flora and fauna for hiking in Minorca. The island consists of the Tramuntana mountains in the north and the hilly Mijorn landscape in the south, both of which are suitable for hiking in Menorca. A circular hiking trail, the Camí de Cavalls, runs along the coast around the island. The name means "horse trail"; the path can be used by hikers as well as by riders and cyclists.

There are also many places of interest to be discovered while hiking in Menorca, such as old watchtowers (talaiots), stone burial mounds (navetes) and ancient, huge altar tables (taulas).

Hiking the Camí de Cavalls in Menorca

The Camí de Cavalls circular route (GR-223) is 185 km long. The hiking trail was created as early as the 14th century so that landowners could secure and develop the coasts. The trail thus offers exciting sections with steep gradients or impassable ground, even for experienced hikers. As the path runs directly along the coast, hikers have to develop Menorca in stages. Often there is no place to stay overnight or eat, so that you always have to deviate a little from the path. But this makes the Camí de Cavalls even more attractive for hiking in Menorca: here you can discover Menorca's enchanting and very well-preserved nature in a relaxed manner.
