On arrival in Mahon, check in at your hotel and then spend the rest of the day exploring this lovely city. The city is situated on the island’s east coast on a wonderful natural harbour – the second deepest in the world.. The port itself attracts many visitors and has a pleasant quayside lined with bustling restaurants and bars. In the evening you will be met by our representative for a welcome meeting. Your route notes, maps and bikes will be handed over to you at this point.

An easy start to your first day’s cycling with a ride to the impressive Mahon Fortress with its fascinating tunnels, canons and guns – the absolutely massive Vickers-Armstrong gun is impossible to miss. Leave Mahon and cycle southwest through open countryside to the coast. In Cales Coves you will find a delightful little cove with small caves built into the rocks. Nearby, the small resort town of Cala en Porter invites you to stop and swim from its rather beautiful beach. Leave the coast and cycle inland to the pleasant town of Alaior, your base for the next two nights in a charming Menorquin guest-house.

Today’s circular ride leads you through a peaceful, rural landscape of pine and oak forests to the rugged north coast. Your destination is the lonely lighthouse at Cap de Favaritx, a scenic peninsular with a sparse, almost lunar landscape. Afterwards you return to Alaior following quiet lanes through idyllic, rural countryside.

Today’s cycle ride leads you further west along the north coast to the cliff-top lighthouse at Cap de Cavalleria, the most northerly point on the island. From here it’s a short ride along the coast to Binimel-là, a beautiful beach with lagoons and sand dunes. The final sector of today’s ride brings you to the little port town of Fornells where you will spend the night. Take a stroll around the pretty quayside lined with palm trees and fish restaurants.

Today’s cycle route bisects the island, leading you from the north coast, through delightful, gently rolling countryside to the south coast. Stop in the pretty town of Es Mercadel for a coffee or light refreshment before carrying on to the small seaside resort of Sant Tomás. The beach here is by any standards lovely but over the next 24 hours you will be treated to a succession of ever-more stunning beaches so we’d better save some superlatives for later. Just west of Sant Tomas, after cycling through a cool forested area, you will reach the resort town of Cala Galdana. Here you will find a lovely, horseshoe shaped sandy beach, lapped by turquoise water and surrounded by green hills. This is a great place to relax and spend the night.

A lovely ride today leads you to some of Menorca’s most stunning beaches. Turqueta and Macarella are small secluded coves with unbelievably clear water and white white sand. These little pieces of paradise are the perfect spots to laze on the beach or take a refreshing swim.

There is a short transfer in the morning from Cala Galdana to Cala Macarella to avoid 4 kilometres of really rocky roads and wooden steps to contend with! Head north then to medieval Ciutadella, the erstwhile capital of Menorca and a great place to base yourself for the next two nights. Worth a visit is the cathedral, which was built on the ruins of an old mosque. Its exterior is decorated with many gargoyles and its interior has some lovely statues and artefacts worth seeing. The pretty port and old town are wonderful to explore on foot and have a huge choice of restaurants and bars.

Your last day’s cycling takes you to La Vall, the wildest side of Menorca, complete with hills, forest, lakes, dunes, gorges and more stunning remote beaches. A highlight today will be the Necropolis of Cala Morell, which was used as a cemetery up to the second century AD. Here you will find 14 excavated caves set into the rocks of a small ravine. In the afternoon, cycle back to Ciutadella to enjoy your last evening.

After breakfast it’s time to head for home or your next adventure.
