The Camí de Cavalls is a historic trail that circles the island of Menorca, offering a unique experience for nature lovers, hiking enthusiasts, and cyclists. And a small part is very close to Sant Joan de Binissaida. Shall we discover it together?
This time, we will focus on the sections surrounding the municipalities of Mahón, Es Castell, and Sant Lluís, located in the southeastern area of the island, where Sant Joan de Binissaida is situated. These sections offer a variety of coastal landscapes, historic paths, and a total immersion in the Menorcan essence, and some of them are accessible on foot from our agrotourism.
Stage 18: Es Grau - Mahón
This section connects the picturesque village of Es Grau with the city of Mahón. It starts at the Natural Park of s'Albufera des Grau, a protected area of great ecological wealth, with wetlands and migratory birds. Along the route, you will find small coves like Cala Sa Torreta and pass through rolling terrain with views of the natural port of Mahón. It has an approximate distance of 9.5 kilometers and is of medium difficulty.
Stage 19: Mahón - Cala Sant Esteve (Es Castell)
This section is ideal for a more relaxed walk. It begins at the port of Mahón, the second largest natural port in the world, and continues to Cala Sant Esteve, a quiet spot near Es Castell. Along the way, historical points such as the Fortress of La Mola, an impressive 19th-century defensive complex, can be visited. The 6.4 kilometers distance can be covered in approximately 2 to 3 hours, as it is of low difficulty.
Stage 20: Cala Sant Esteve - Punta Prima (Sant Lluís)
From Cala Sant Esteve, which is very close to Sant Joan de Binissaida, the path continues along the coast and passes through iconic points like Cala Rafalet, a virgin cove hidden among cliffs, and S’Algar, a coastal development with basic services. Finally, the stage ends at Punta Prima, famous for its white sandy beach and its view of the Isla del Aire lighthouse. This section is of medium difficulty, with a distance of 8.5 kilometers, which can be done in 3 to 4 hours.
These sections of the Camí de Cavalls not only stand out for their natural beauty but also for their historical and cultural significance. They are an excellent way to discover the essence of Menorca while enjoying the outdoors.
