Menorca Tips
Always have a towel, swim wear, sunscreen and plenty of water with you.
Tour Operators may offer their hotel guests various excursions,but if the thought of spending time on someone elses' time agenda, bustled from place to coach and driving around for hotel pickups bothers you then many can be done DIY style!
Cami de Cavalls, ('path of the horse') is a rough track coastal path from medieval times that originally followed much of the entire Menorcan coastline.
It is a great way to see the beautiful coastline but the pathways are 'au natural' so take care close to cliff edges.
