Cam\u00ed de Cavalls, Sections 10\u201320 (Ciutadella to Ma\u00f3). Dates: 1st \u2013 7th November 2025. Distance covered: 100 km (62 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Menorca After the Tourist Season Ends.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a long-distance hiking trail that never strays far from shimmering turquoise seas and hidden coves. You can follow it as a continuous circuit or enjoy it in shorter, scenic day walks. Each day ends with delicious local food and the comfort of a welcoming hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you love quiet paths, turquoise coves, and the feeling of having an island almost to yourself, walking the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls in Menorca during the off-season is an unforgettable adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This historic 185 km path circles the island\u2019s coastline, once used by soldiers and horsemen to patrol its shores. Today, it\u2019s one of Europe\u2019s most scenic long-distance walks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

During my trip, in early November, I managed ticked off Sections 10 to 20, Ciutadella to Ma\u00f3, just after the official tourist season had come to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With many of the islands buses no longer running and the resorts closing down, Menorca felt calm, wild, and entirely mine. Getting around meant a mix of buses, lifts, and luck \u2014 but that was very much part of the charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day-by-Day Journey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday, 1st November \u2013 Cala Galdana to Cala Turqueta (Section 13, 6.38 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bus from Ciutadella to Ferreries followed by a friendly lift from a hotel worker, en route to work, got me to the trailhead – at Cala Galdana. The pine forests were silent, the beaches deserted and the summer chaos had faded – leaving only the sound of wind and waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling strong, I carried on\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cala Turqueta to Cap d\u2019Artrutx (Section 12, 13.2 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The path followed cliffs and coves in golden light. It was a long, but rewarding start to my Cam\u00ed de Cavalls adventure. I thumbed a lift back to Ciutadella; two young lads who were heading off to a friends BBQ, stopped and drove me to the outskirts of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday, 2nd November \u2013 Cap d\u2019Artrutx to Ciutadella (Section 11, 13 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With the timetable thinning out, I managed to reach Cap d\u2019Artrutx on one of the few buses that were still operating. I then followed the trail back to Ciutadella. The coastline was rugged and empty. Stopped off along the way at a local cafe for a macchiato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, 3rd November \u2013 Ciutadella to Punta Nati (Section 10, 10.5 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A grey and miserable start. Today I walked from Ciutadella to Punta Nati lighthouse in steady rain, surrounded by open farmland and stone walls. Even getting slightly wet, it was hauntingly beautiful – Menorca stripped back to its bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, 4th November \u2013 Cala Galdana to Sant Tom\u00e0s (Section 14, 10.4 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting to the start of this section took some creativity, which consisted of a bus to Ferreries, then a lift to Cala Galdana, from a young guy from Barcelona who was smoking a \u2018joint\u2019, and who laughed his head off when I told him my plan to walk Cam\u00ed de Cavalls. The bad weather eventually cleared and the sea shimmered – cliffs, pine forests, and total silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sant Tom\u00e0s to Son Bou (Section 15, 6.43 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect weather, a quiet path, and clear turquoise water \u2014 this was the Menorca hikers dream of. Once I reached Son Bou, the two friendly ladies, who I\u2019d met earlier in the day, offered me a lift to Alaior. From there I caught the bus back to Ferreries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday, 5th November \u2013 Son Bou to Cala en Porter (Section 16, 7.92 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By midweek, buses were almost non-existent for some of the sections of the walk. I managed to get one from Ferreries to Alaior, then a \u20ac5 taxi to Son Bou – I\u2019m sure it should have cost more! The cliffs glowed in late morning light, the beaches empty and golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cala en Porter to Binissaf\u00faller (Section 17, 11.6 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This section crossed two completely different environments as it passed from a winding path, carved out of the earth shaped by the gorges, to the flat terrain of the east of the island. At the end of the walk a retired couple kindly gave me a lift to Sant Climent. From there, I took a bus to Ma\u00f3, it was then another bus back to Ferreries. It was a long day of walking, travelling and local kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, 6th November \u2013 Ma\u00f3 to Cala de Sant Esteve (Section 20, 6 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting in Ma\u00f3, I followed a very urbanised section of the trail out toward Cala de Sant Esteve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cala de Sant Esteve to Punta Prima (Section 19, 7.2 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Halfway along, a car stopped – it was the Barcelona guy from earlier in the week, still smiling and still smoking! He just wanted to stop and say hello. Later, at the end of the walk, a surfer dude kindly stopped and dropped me off near Sant Llu\u00eds. From there, a bus ride back to Ma\u00f3 wrapped up the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday, 7th November \u2013 Binissaf\u00faller to Punta Prima (Section 18, 8.06 km).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final section: I caught the bus to Sant Climent. I then walked the last section of the the trail into Punta Prima. With the sun on my back, I was feeling quietly triumphant. In perfect symmetry – I was given a lift back to Sant Lluis from the same BBQ boys who\u2019d helped me on day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflections \u2013 Menorca\u2019s Quiet Season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls in November means trading convenience for peace. With fewer buses, shuttered resorts, and empty beaches, you move at the island\u2019s true pace. Every ride offered, every chat on a roadside, becomes part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Ciutadella\u2019s old alleys to Ma\u00f3\u2019s bright harbour, Menorca in autumn felt raw, honest, and full of fabulous encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For hikers seeking solitude, friendly locals, and authenticity, this is probably the best time to walk Menorca\u2019s wild edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
