The Route
The itinerary number 2 of the Camí de Cavalls Guide covers the stretch between Es Grau and the fantastic Far de Favàritx. This excursion can be done either by mountain bike or on foot. In case of doing it by mountain bike, it must be borne in mind that it is a route with some complicated sections, some of them passing by the beach, and it is quite likely that you will have to get off the bike. This stage allows you to enter l’Albufera des Grau,the core of the Menorca biosphere reserve. During the tour you can enjoy the vegetation and landscape at any time of the year. Throughout the excursion you will pass by points of interest such as cala Sa Torreta y Morella Cove.
At the end of the route you will cross the beautiful Tortuga Covea small beach where I would take the opportunity to take a dip, just before reaching the wonderful Far de Favàritx.
