A leisurely cycling holiday around Menorca. See every side of this fascinating and beautiful island, from bustling Mahón on the east coast, to medieval Ciutadella on the west. In between, you will visit remote coves and cycle along quiet lanes to lonely lighthouses on rocky outcrops. You’ll discover remote, breathtakingly beautiful beaches where turquoise waters almost insist you stop for a refreshing dip.
More laid back than its larger neighbour Majorca, Menorca is an excellent choice for a leisurely Mediterranean cycling holiday. The beaches, of which there are over 100, offer wonderful white sand and clear water with many dotted with coves, caves and sand dunes.
Cap de Cavalleria - Menorca
This is a leisurely trip along mainly quiet country roads, a few dirt tracks and just a few hills to negotiate along the way. It will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another.

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.

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.

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.

In the afternoon, cycle back to Ciutadella to enjoy your last evening.
