Walking and cycling around Menorca and the other Balearic islands nearby is definitely a popular pastime, and the many excellent hiking trails through the numerous nature reserves offer spectacular views.
Cami de Cavalls is a very popular trail, leading to a stunning coastline of golden beaches and charming fishing villages; while the trails through the gently rolling hills lead to traditional market towns and villages. You can also visit the prehistoric sites, go birdwatching or take a mixed-theme photography tour – the whole island’s beauty is laid out before you. Horseback riding and golf are two other popular activities on the island. (There are several riding schools where you can take lessons if you're a beginner on a horse.)
Just Lounging Around
Food and wine tours are a great way to spend some down time when staying in one of the wonderful Cala Galdana villas. Restaurant and farmhouse tours may not strenuous, but they are definitely fun and relaxing!
If you fancy sampling the local cuisine under your own steam, depending on your tastes and inclination, you can go as simple or as fancy as you’d like. Seafood and fresh produce abound on the island, so food quality is definitely high to begin with. Spanish cuisine, particularly the Menorcan variety, is the staple – but different establishments offer their own variations on the traditional menus.
