Cycling in Menorca

There are more than three thousand kilometres that are practicable with mountain bike – these unpaved paths offer challenges for all levels of experience and technical expertise but with many short steep climbs and drops they are not for the fainthearted.

The larger towns of Maó and Ciutadella have well organised cycle paths which enable cyclists to visit parts of the older town centres which are inaccessible by car.
The Camí de Cavalls, an unpaved bridle path almost 200 kilometres long which extends around the island mostly along the coastline has recently been re-opened, enabling both horse riders and cyclists to access the hidden beaches and woodlands of the coast. On the south coast the Camí de Cavalls follows the more gentle undulating countryside passing by tiny hidden coves and longer beaches of sparkling white sand.


The cycling trail also passes along the Camí den Kane - Kane Road – one of the oldest roads on the island built by the first British governor here which is now a tranquil country lane which winds between the smaller inland villages and hamlets of the interior.
For those who want a more challenging ride, the gruelling lighthouse tour which takes in all five lighthouses around the coast at an average 27 kilometres per hour with a total of 206 kilometres covered in the day takes place each year in early May. Cycles of all kinds, from the ordinary touring bike to top class road racers and mountain bikes can be hired at numerous activity centres in all parts of the island.
