Hi Alan

So glad your walk went well. It sounds great.

Definitely want to do something similar in september with my husband.

Many thanks for the info. The accomodation sounds great.

I would like to include  the Hotel Xeroy in Alcafar  and then on to es castel.

I'm in Menorca next week walking with a girlfriend  and staying in her apartment in 

the north of the island. I will check out  these places.

Margy Cheers

Hi Paddy,

I stumbled on this post by accident, googling for maps of the Cami de Cavalls. I was in Menorca last year with the family and did some short walks on the Cami de Cavalls from our base in Cala n Porter and thought it was great.

I'm going back 19th of May with four of my friends (all 40's and 50's, regular walkers). We are flying to Mahon, then a bus to Ciutadella, then walking back to Mahon via the South Coast Section of the Cami de Cavalls. Staying first night in a Ciutadella, then walking next day to Cala Galdana via Calan' Bosch. Then next day to Cala'n Porter via Son Bou. Then next day to Mahon via the South East Coast resorts. Then flying back next day. Hotels and apartments this time of year are really cheap (around £10-£20 b and b), so we are just travelling light and staying in 1 star luxury.

Its about 15-20 miles a day with resorts half way to stop for lunch.

I found a map on the internet, Menorca Tour and Trail 1:40000, so was thinking of buying that. I think its probably only where the route is broken by resorts that we will need a map as the route itself is so well signposted.

Did you do the South Coast Section, anything we need to look out for?

Cheers,

Alan.

 

 Hi Alan,

Very interested in your walk on the cami de cavalls from ciutadella to Mahon.

I would live to do that!. I've walked parts of it but always had to  return to the car.

It's really got me thinking of doing a similar thing in september.

Could you let me know how you got on and were you stayed.
