Walking on Menorca's Coastal Trail

FAQs

When is the best time to go?


This trip can start on a Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday.

The best times of the year to visit are spring and fall - from late March through June, and then September through to the first week of November.

Spring is a great time to come as it coincides with increased bird activity in the wetland areas, and the emerging color of wildflowers. By September the island takes on a drier aspect after the heat of the summer, but is still a wonderful time to walk as the temperatures begin to drop. Early fall also brings back the birds as they migrate south again.

Will I be walking with other people?


No. To make sure you enjoy the trails in splendid peace and at your own pace, we offer just two departures a week for this vacation. That means each day is yours all yours, with no other footsteps gathering speed behind you. It does mean however that dates get booked up. So if you're interested, please let us know so that we can secure your preferred dates.

How long will I be walking each day?


The hikes on this walk range from 10km to 19km, with most around 12km. For most days you can expect to spend around four hours walking if going at quite a leisurely pace. We time the transfers to give you ample time to go at your own pace, stop for a swim, and a picnic lunch, and to enjoy the landscapes.

How do I navigate?


The Camí de Cavalls is extremely well marked. Even so, we provide simple written instructions to remove any doubts and also to signpost points of interest in the landscape around you. Finally, you also have GPS tracks you can follow, which show exactly where you need to walk. Generally though, one big advantage of this Inn to Inn is that the navigation is simple, so you can just relax and walk.

What happens to my bags?


We take care of these, transporting them between hotels as part of your private transfers. You just walk with a small daypack with the essentials.

How do I get from place to place?


In most cases we provide a short private transfer to connect your hotels and the trailheads. Menorca is only 33 miles at its widest point, and 12 miles top to bottom. Everything is very close. Typically your transfers will be around 10-15 minutes and will always be just you and your driver.

Can I shorten or opt out of a walk if I feel tired?


You can usually opt out of a walk yes - your driver will simply pick you up and take you to your next destination.

Shortening the walks is dependent on there being access to pick you up - not all beaches along the north coast have roads leading to them. The longest walk is the easiest to shorten, cutting it down from 19km to 10km.

What sort of places will I stay at?


In the cities, we work with a small stable of boutique hotels, all of which are beautifully restored historic houses and mansions. Most have roof terraces or small swimming pools, which are always a welcome bonus on a hot day.

In the countryside you stay in a series of beautiful rural inns, converted from family farming estates and country manors. Expect great hosting, delicious local food, perfect swimming pools and often some very nice views.

How far ahead should I book?


We offer only two departures of this vacation a week, so if you have a limited travel window and specific dates we suggest you book around nine months ahead. If you are flexible with dates, then three-four months ahead should be fine.

What is the payment process and is my money completely safe?


We take a 15% deposit to secure your vacation, with the remainder due eight weeks before your departure.

Your money is 100% protected through our ATOL licence if your trip includes a flight booked through us, or through our ABTOT bond if it does not. Either way, this protection provides a cast iron financial guarantee and helps you book with complete peace of mind. Because the contract between us exists here in the UK, you get this protection regardless of where you live.
