The Route

Section 14 of the Camí de Cavalls is the one that goes from the beach of Cala Galdana to the beach of Santo Tomas. It is a stretch of about 10km distance of medium difficulty that can be covered in 3 hours both on foot and by bike. It can be done on foot without any problem and also by bike although in some sections it will be necessary to get off the bike. The best thing about this route is the contrast between the beginning and the middle and end part of the stage. At the beginning of the route you will pass by the magnificent beaches of Cala Mitjana and Cala Mitjaneta, where you can contemplate the beauty of the coast of Menorca. Once you leave the beach behind, the route passes through inland forests where you can forget that you are on an island, with a variety of fauna and vegetation.

How to Get to the Start or End of the Route

You can start the route at any of the two points.
The buses that connect the starting and ending points are the 72 (summer line only) to travel between Ferreries and Santo Tomás.
To move between Ferreries and Cala Galdana you can take the bus line 51, 52 or 53. If you have someone to take you by car or motorcycle, to go to Cala Galdana:

From Ciutadella you have to take the main road to Maó and in the roundabout just before reaching Ferreries, follow the signs towards Cala Galdana, it has no loss.
From Maó you have to take the main road to Ciutadella, and just after passing Ferreries, at the roundabout, follow the signs towards Cala Galdana. Once in Cala Galdana you have to look for the beginning of the stage at the top east of the beach, on a road very close to the viewpoint of Cala Galdana. You can see it on the map.

Circular Route

If you want to return to the starting point and you have been walking, I recommend that instead of taking the same route back, you try to walk directly along the coast. This will allow you to pass through the beautiful beaches of Cala Escorxada, Cala Fustam and Cala Trebalúger. This route is much more complicated and is almost impossible if you go by bike.
