Good to Know
What can you expect? - the signposted routes are made up from rough tracks, paths across farmland, surfaced and unsurfaced 'Camis' and the occasional modern road as the routes passes through a costal development.
Camis are small narrow track lanes, the original road system of the island, that criss cross the island. Routes can be shared by walkers, horses and mountain bikes and will often take you to 'hidden' Menorca. The path is well signed (to international standards ) in distintictive vermillion.

Bus Network for nearest Bus Stops
Travelling the Cami de Cavalls you will experience a wonderfull cross-section of the diversity of Menorca's landscape. You will walk,ride or cycle along impressive clifftop paths looking out over turquoise waters and amazing virgin beaches and coves. Rugged openscapes in the North, more sheltered greener paths in the sopouth. The path leads through meadows and forests where pine trees, holm oaks and pines provide shade in the hotter summer months.
Origins - The path was created in the 18th century as a supply / patrol route for coastal defence of the island which with it's many beaches and coves was ripe for invaders to land at. Menorca's location and protective harbours meant is was highly prized as a strategic military point in the mediterranean. As such the english,spanish and french were fighting for occupation of Menorca for many turbulent years. This also gives you the biggest clues where to get Bus/Taxi support eg a resort with a beach because that is Invaders could have landed! Here the Cami de Cavalls will pass through offeringa welcome Cafe etc and Bus/Taxi.
Accommodation for multi day trips
There are no overnight huts or such like travellers accommodation other than the existing infrastructure in the beach resorts along the route and inland towns - careful planning is required. Allthough given the smallness of the island taxis inland to/from an accommodation base are around max., 20 euro Taxi one way means it's not as difficult as it may first seem.
Wild camping is not allowed, however the law does allow for bivouacking on the remote beaches/bays ( no fires and pack up before 6am ) . Organised walking / riding tours might be an option who will take care of this for you.
