The Beauty of Menorca Walking Tour Itinerary

Day 2 Favaritx Lighthouse and Es Grau

In the morning, transfer to the lighthouse of Favaritx. Today’s itinerary crosses the Nature Reserve of Albufera des Grau. The walk starts in the lunar landscape of Cape Favaritx, with spectacular views over the rugged coast and unspoilt coves. The path leads to the beach of Tortuga, a perfect spot for a swim. From the beach of Tortuga the path turns inland and through the Menorcan countryside where typical drywall constructions are in perfect harmony with the rolling green fields. At the cove of Sa Torreta, the prystine sandy beach and surrounding dunes are a favourite spot of many migratory birds. The path now follows the canal until you reach the beach of Sa Mesquida. Transfer from Sa Mesquida to Mao, to avoid the last 4 km of asphalt.
