The Camí de Cavalls is a historic path of around 185 kilometres that circles the whole of Menorca along its coastline. It is divided into 20 sections, waymarked as long-distance trail GR-223, and can be covered on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback. You don't have to walk it all: many visitors pick individual sections as day trips. This guide covers its history, how it's organised, when to go and which sections are easiest if you're staying in Maó.

The beaches of northern Menorca are the island's wildest side: golden or reddish sand, dark rock, islets offshore and landscapes that look nothing like the white coves of the south. Many can only be reached on foot and have no facilities, which keeps them quiet even in August. This guide covers the best of them, how to reach each one, why the sand is that colour and the one thing to check before you set off.

Mahón (Maó), the capital of Menorca, stands out for one of the largest natural harbours in the world, a British-influenced old town and its own cuisine: Mahón-Menorca cheese, Xoriguer gin and mayonnaise. It's a city for wandering slowly, finding viewpoints over the harbour and enjoying its markets. This guide covers what to see and do in Mahón.
