The Camí de Tramuntana

The Camí de Tramuntana is a narrow road that leaves from Es Mercadal.
This path is flanked by dry stone walls.
The path is frequented by hikers and cyclists throughout the year.
In summer this road is used to go to the famous beaches of the north of Es Mercadal(Cavalleria, Binimel-là, Pregonda, etc) and therefore it is very busy with vehicles all day long.

In the middle of the Camí de Tramuntana you can buy Artisan Cheese and other typical products of Menorca in the farm of Lluriach.
