Road from Ciutadella to Galdana by bike
Ciutadella to Galdana by bikeThe
Ciutadella to Cala Galdana biketour is an easy 18km hike that can be done in 1h 30min including stops for photos and eating figs from the trees .
The route can be started from any point in Ciutadella.
All the way is quite clear and not many cars usually circulate.
This is an excursion that I recommend to beginners as it is very affordable.
Throughout the 18 kilometers it is necessary to jump a couple of wooden fences so it always helps to be accompanied.
During the hike you can see plenty of dry wall, fig trees, horses and even a donkey 🙂.

When you get to Cala Galdana, if you are not too tired you can take a hike along the Barranc d’Algendar.
If you climb to the top you will have spectacular views.

How to get to the beginning or end of the Route

As this is a bike tour the best thing to do, if you are not in Ciutadella, is to rent a bike in Ciutadella and leave from the store, as you will only add 1km of route at most.

The Tour

One of the best things about this route, apart from the fact that it ends at the wonderful beach of Cala Galdana, is that along the way you will find different “llocs” or farmhouses where you can buy handmade products from Menorca.
It is a bit heavy to carry them with the bike, but think that a “sobrasada” or a cheese weigh little and are very good.

  • I have stopped at Binigarba to buy cheese, but there are other options along the way indicated with signs.
  • If your thing is not cheese or food you are in luck because you can also make a stop at the prehistoric village of Torretrencada.

If you stop in Torretrencada you can see the great “Taula” and other remains of great cultural interest.
If what you want is to get to the beach you can always take the direct route and get there in less than 1 hour and a half.
As you can see this excursion has everything and for all tastes.
