Some trails make you feel like an explorer. This one? It turns every day into an island-hopping, cove-swimming, history-tracing, sun-drenched odyssey. Menorca’s Camí de Cavalls South is the definition of a slow-travel flex—eight days of cliffside paths, pine-scented breezes, and beaches so perfect they look staged. You’ll hike from cove to cove, dive into turquoise water, and refuel on local flavors. No racing the clock, no missing out—just you, the Mediterranean, and the kind of self-guided adventure that leaves footprints in the sand and your soul. We’ve sorted the logistics. You bring the curiosity.
Camí de Cavalls South isn’t just a hike—it’s an island adventure that unfolds step by step. Over eight days, you’ll follow Menorca’s historic coastal path, winding through pine forests, past ancient watchtowers, and onto pristine beaches that mass tourism forgot. Swim in hidden coves, wander through charming towns, and end each day with a meal worth the miles. With carefully chosen accommodations and all the planning done for you, this trip is about freedom at your own pace.
These walking holidays start in Ciutadella, where you will spend the first night. You will have time to enjoy this beautiful city, walk through the narrow streets with stone houses of Marés, enjoy the local cuisine, or make purchases in one of the many shops. It’s recommended to go to bed early, because the next day you’ll walk the first stages of Cami de Cavalls South from Ciutadella to Cap D’Artrutx.

I received a nice document with the details about the accommodations and the route. It was beautiful, thank you very much
At the beginning of May we walked the southern part of Cami de Cavalls. The trail offered all kinds of variations in natural landscapes. Coast, beautiful bays with azure blue sea and pine trees. Menorca has surprised us very much in terms of nature. WAW.travel took care of the accommodations and transport of the suitcases to our complete satisfaction. Thanks to WAW.travel who put together a wonderful trip tailored to our wishes.
