The experience

If you have an afternoon free in Menorca and want to move through the island at a pace slower than a car, this ride gives you the countryside without the noise. You follow quiet rural trails and sections of the historic Camí de Cavalls (an old bridle path that once connected the island's coastal defense towers) surrounded by Mediterranean scrub and traditional stone walls. The route is designed for riders with little or no experience, and the horses are calm enough that families with children often ride alongside beginners.

The ride ends at a viewpoint above Cala Mitjana, where you stop to look out over the cove's turquoise water, white sand, and dramatic cliffs. During summer months, horses do not go down to the beach itself, so the viewpoint is where the ride concludes. In the off-season, the route can reach the sand. Either way, the stop gives you time to take in the landscape and understand why this stretch of coast is protected. The whole experience takes 90 minutes and covers the kind of terrain that moves too slowly on foot but reveals details a car would miss.

A guide leads the ride and speaks English or Spanish. Groups stay small, which means the pace stays relaxed and the guide can adjust to the riders in the group. This is not a trotting or galloping experience. It is a way to move through the island's quieter side and see how the land and coast fit together.

What is the Camí de Cavalls and why does the ride follow it?

The Camí de Cavalls is a historic bridle path that once connected Menorca's coastal defense towers and runs around much of the island's perimeter. Following sections of it on horseback lets you experience the same route locals used for centuries, moving through countryside that feels removed from the main tourist areas.

Yes, the ride is designed for beginners and people with little or no riding experience. The horses are calm, the pace is relaxed, and the guide adjusts to the group's comfort level. Families with children often ride on this route.

What does the viewpoint above Cala Mitjana show?

The viewpoint overlooks Cala Mitjana's turquoise water, white sand beach, and the dramatic cliffs that frame the cove. The stop gives you time to see the landscape and understand the protected nature of this stretch of coast.

Can the ride go down to the beach at Cala Mitjana?

During summer (May 1 to October 30), horses are not permitted on the beach, so the ride ends at the viewpoint above the cove. In the off-season, the route can reach the sand itself.

How long does the whole ride take?

The ride lasts 90 minutes and covers quiet rural trails and sections of the historic Camí de Cavalls before reaching the viewpoint above Cala Mitjana.
