The Camí de Cavalls walking route: adventure and flavour in Menorca
The Camí de Cavalls, with its 185-kilometre-long historic path, surrounds Menorca and offers an unforgettable experience for lovers of hiking, history and good food. This route can be done on foot, by bike or on horseback, revealing stunning natural landscapes and offering the chance to enjoy Menorca's exquisite cuisine. From unspoilt coves to cosy local restaurants, each stretch of the Camí de Cavalls invites you to discover and savour Menorca.
The Camí de Cavalls is a historic route that runs along the entire coastline of Menorca, split into 20 sections. Its origins date back to 1330, when King James II ordered that all men had to keep an armed horse to defend the island. This royal order gave birth to this trail, which today is perfect for soaking up the island’s natural beauty, whether on foot, by bike or on horseback.
Along the route you’ll find lots of places to try local food. These include restaurants that serve a variety of rice dishes, including the most typical Spanish dish: paella. One of the best spots is Es Grau. This is a small town to the north of Maó with a beautiful beach that’s great for children, as the shallow water barely covers the beach. From here we can start two of the most beautiful stretches of the Camí de Cavalls: one leading to the Favàritx lighthouse, and the other to Sa Mesquida beach. We’ll cover a distance that best suits your fitness. Either way, in Es Grau there are loads of great food options. There’s the famous Tamarindos, which serves typical Menorcan dishes, and Es Moll, whose specialty is rice and fish dishes.
Walking the Camí de Cavalls is an all-round experience that goes beyond hiking. It’s a chance to connect with nature, discover Menorca's vast history and relish the variety of local cuisine.
