Welcome

From the 25th to the 27th October the Ciutadella Walking Festival is going to take place for the second time. This event combines excursions and walks in the countryside surrounded by nature, as well as being able to enjoy the culture, history and cuisine of the island and the Camí de Cavalls (Bridle Path). The event is organised by the Ajuntament de Ciutadella with the support of the Consell Insular de Menorca and the Fundació Foment del Turisme de Menorca.

Tast sensorial

Product tasting included

The “local products tasting session” serves as an initial ritual to awaken the senses. Before setting off on the routes we will offer you a small sampling of local country produce. As hikers we will enjoy our surroundings right in the middle of nature. Man, with his traditional agriculture, on the one hand seeks harmony in nature, while at the same time forms and transforms the typical Minorcan landscape. Thus local and rural produce carries the essence of the nature of Menorca: hence this stroll through a variety of flavours is a good way to start. The sampling of local produce is included in each of the routes, and each day will enjoy a different, new and surprising set of refreshments and appetizers…

Why participate?

The spring and autumn seasons are perfect times for hiking in Menorca. Its climate, its countryside, its scenery and the paths overlooking the sea, make it one of the most charming corners of the Mediterranean given the great variety it boasts within such a small landmass. In 1993 Menorca was declared a Biosphere Reserve, due to its very well-looked-after natural environment.

We have selected the best routes throughout the municipality of Ciutadella de Menorca, where you will not only discover its trails, but also enjoy the exuberant countryside. There are routes for all tastes: long walks along the Camí de Cavalls (Bridle Paths) and short ones for those not wishing to become overly tired.

Long routes:

  • Cami de Cavalls: Els Alocs – Cala Morell (16.5 km)
  • Camí de Cavalls: Cala Morell – Ciutadella (20.8 km)
  • Camí de Cavalls: Son Xoriguer Beach – Cala Galdana (15 km)

Short routes:

  • Cala Pilar and surrounding areas (6 km)
  • Cala Morell – Algaiarens (6.2 km)
  • Cala en Turqueta – Cala Galdana, along the coastal path (7.4 km)

We have designed different themed routes so as to be able to discover and enjoy the botany, ornithology and ethnology of Menorca.

Themed Routes:

  • Botany Es Barranc d’Algendar (4.5 km)
  • Ornithology: Punta Nati and surrounding areas (5.4 km)
  • Ethnology: Punta Nati and surrounding areas (4.5 km)

The Ciutadella Walking Festival has included in its programme 4 workshop-routes. This is a combination of a route including an activity. We have three kinds of workshops:

  • Nordic Walking. This activity is distributed over 2 days: on Saturday there will be an initiation session with instruction. On Sunday, on the other hand, it will be carried out right in the middle of nature, between Son Xoriguer and the Son Saura beach.
  • Forest Bathing. This is a guided walk through a forest; both tranquil and accessible to anyone and everyone, with additional health benefits.
  • Into Nature!. This is a trip into nature especially designed for children, thus it is suitable for the whole family.
