The Cami de Cavalls is an old path of 185 km that runs along the entire coast of the island of Menorca. It used to be used by soldiers on horseback to guard the safety of the island
No, you walk about 15 km a day is easy to walk. You see the island of Menorca with different faces. From the pearly white beaches with clear blue water in the south, to the deserted plains in the North.
Our participants come from different countries. Both yoga classes and hiking can be taken for every age and at every level.
You don't have to be afraid of getting lost. The entire route is well signposted. It is a GR route. And so you will find a wooden sign with a red and white indication every few meters. So as long as you follow that, you know you're in the right place.
