Hiking is a key pastime for many tourists returning to Menorca of the Balearic Islands, because of its totally unspoilt and wild terrain. Menorca has a lot of untouched natural landscape and many virgin beaches which makes Menorca a fabulous place to visit.
The island offers some of the best places known places for hiking across the whole range, from the casual holiday maker who is simply looking for a change to the night clubs and sun bathing, to the more experienced hiker who lives for their pastime of feeling the earth beneath their feet, and taking in all of the sights, sounds, and fragrances of this ancient island.
To be walking in total tranquillity, bathed in the light of a golden sunrise or sunset across the horizon is all that some people crave for. Let us not forget however, that to reach such unspoilt places, no matter where we are in the world, a car is usually necessary to get there in the first place.
The CAP de FAVARITX, which is situated on the rugged and unspoilt Northern coastline is one such unspoilt walkers dream, but, it is some 17km North of Mahon along the motorway the Me 1, which then leads onto the cf 1 road.
Splendid isolation of this area is its key word, with no tourists, and several isolated beaches, which are obviously therefore without facilities, but the experienced walker would be well prepared for that.
If bird watching is your passion, where they are allowed to live and breed without any outside interference, then this is the place to visit with your camera and long range lenses ready for action.
As a magnificent back drop to your peaceful and exhilarating day, where you had left the 21st century behind you, as you had studied nature in its best dress.
With you now watching the sun set in total silence, other than perhaps listening to the gentle murmur of the sea kissing the beach, and you were within visual distance of Car de Favaritx light house, you will see its timeless beam of light flashing out across the sea.
