Guided walking holiday

Spain • Balearic Islands • Menorca

Fortresses, flora and fauna
Two distinctly different walking weeks demonstrate the colours and contrasts of this beautiful Mediterranean island. Our easy walks option focuses on the rich historical aspects while the longer walks explore the rugged stormlashed coastline, lush wooded hills and farmland of the interior and the beautiful ravines whose microclimate gives rise to a huge diversity of flora and fauna.

Walking through history

Five full days of fascinating historical walks in the hands of the island's local expert. Here are some examples:

Capture the Capital

A walk from our hotel to the old and historic heart of the capital Mahón. Here we discover its evolvement over the centuries influenced by British colonisation in the 18th century. Time for tapas and a drink before returning via the wonderful harbourside.

Cala San Estaban, the Hangmans

Tower and Marlborough Fort The beautiful St Stephens cove overlooks the entrance to Mahón harbour with views to St Phillips Castle and the Fortress of Isabel II. We visit Marlborough Fort and the Stuart Martello tower built by the British in the 18th century. Return is via Es Castell, formerly Georgetown.

Walking through nature

These walks are designed to illustrate the rich geological contrasts, coastline, flora and fauna of the island.

Ravines, caves and sand dunes

Through a majestic ravine to the huge cave of Colom. After a rest stop at Santa Tomas we follow the dunes to Son Bou.

Santa Elisabet to Son Rubi

Setting out from the base of Santa Aqueda we walk north to the coastal cove of Caldera and on to Son Rubi.

Through Birdsong Pass

A round trip from Biniat and back through trees alive with birdsong together with magnificent views of Monte Toro and the northern coastline.

Free day

Explore Ciutadella, the original capital, or relax by the pool.

Transfer days

It's just a 20-minute transfer between Mahón airport and our hotel.
