Camí de Cavalls Coastal Walk: Favaritx to Es Grau

Walk the historic Camí de Cavalls from Cap de Favaritx Lighthouse to Es Grau Lagoon. Discover lunar landscapes, hidden coves, and nature reserves on this scenic coastal hike.
Step into one of Menorca’s most fascinating journeys, where the landscape seems to transform with every step. This guided hike takes you along the legendary Camí de Cavalls trail, from the dramatic lighthouse at Cap de Favaritx to the tranquil village and lagoon of Es Grau. It’s a walk filled with contrasts — rugged lunar cliffs, turquoise coves, green reserves, and the charm of a coastal village — all carefully paced to let you enjoy the beauty without the rush.

We begin at the parking area near Cap de Favaritx, one of Menorca’s most iconic landmarks. Here, the island greets you with a striking first impression: a stark, lunar-like terrain of dark slate and jagged rocks. As the lighthouse stands tall against the endless sea, you’ll feel as though you’ve landed on another planet. This otherworldly setting is a favourite stop for photos, and a moment to pause and take in the grandeur of Menorca’s wild north-east coast.

From here, we follow the Camí de Cavalls southward, tracing a path that has connected the island’s coastline for centuries. The contrast comes quickly: barren rock gives way to coastal scrub and rolling countryside, before opening onto wide views of the glittering Mediterranean. The trail reveals one surprise after another, with the scenery changing as if you were walking through different worlds in a single morning.

Along the way, we pass hidden coves and small sandy beaches, places of calm where the sea sparkles in shades of turquoise and emerald. Depending on the season, you may hear the hum of cicadas in the bushes, catch the scent of wild rosemary and thyme, or watch seabirds glide overhead. The path also leads us by the Bassa de Morella Nature Reserve, a peaceful spot that offers a glimpse into the island’s ecological richness.

Our route continues towards Cala de Sa Torreta, a secluded bay embraced by cliffs and untouched landscapes. This is Menorca at its purest: wild, unspoiled, and far from the crowds. We take time to enjoy the surroundings, whether that means resting with a cool drink, listening to the waves, or simply breathing in the fresh coastal air.

From here, the trail leads gently towards the Albufera d’Es Grau Natural Park, one of Menorca’s most important wetlands and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. With its lagoon, pine forests, and birdlife, this reserve is a haven for nature lovers. Keep your eyes open for herons, egrets, and perhaps even ospreys soaring above the water.

The walk concludes in the charming village of Es Grau, where whitewashed houses meet the water’s edge. Here, you can celebrate the end of your journey with a well-deserved refreshment at a local café, or simply relax on the sandy beach. It’s the perfect way to finish: feet in the sand, a cool drink in hand, and the satisfaction of having experienced one of Menorca’s most scenic coastal routes.

This tour is designed with comfort in mind, making it ideal for senior walkers or anyone who prefers a relaxed, guided pace.
