You climb into the saddle at Es Calafat as wind from the south coast pushes the sound of surf inland, and the farm’s paddocks recede behind you. The horses pick their way along rural tracks and the ancient Camí de Cavalls; scrub pines lean in as if to watch you pass, and the trail opens onto a turquoise slice of sea at Cala Mitjana.

You climb into the saddle at Es Calafat as wind from the south coast pushes the sound of surf inland, and the farm’s paddocks recede behind you. The horses pick their way along rural tracks and the ancient Camí de Cavalls; scrub pines lean in as if to watch you pass, and the trail opens onto a turquoise slice of sea at Cala Mitjana.
The Camí de Cavalls is more than a route—it’s a centuries-old coastal path once used to patrol Menorca’s shores. Geologically the south coast is limestone cut by wave action into small coves and cliffs; the white sand at Cala Mitjana contrasts sharply with the dark, scrubby maquis around the inland lanes. Local culture favors slow, communal outdoor time, and this ride reflects that relaxed rhythm: low tempo, photographic viewpoints, and a guide who knows the terrain and the animals.
Practical guidance: this is a 90-minute, beginner-friendly ride suitable for families and riders with little experience. Helmets and experienced guides are provided; weight and age limits apply (max 95 kg, minimum 12 years). In summer the route stops at a seaside viewpoint; in low season horses may walk on the beach itself—check timing and tides.
Feet: closed shoes and long trousers protect against saddle rub. Bring water, sun protection, and a light wind layer—coastal weather can change fast. Arrive 30 minutes early for briefing and horse assignment; tell the operator your riding level so they can match you with the right mount. The rhythm of the ride is deliberate: the horses set the pace, the sea dares you to look, and the path rewards a slow, steady attention to place.
No — the ride is designed for beginners and those with limited experience; guides will assign suitable horses and provide a safety briefing.
Beach access is seasonal—during low season horses are allowed on the sand; in summer the route usually stops at a seaside viewpoint instead.
Minimum age is 12 years and maximum weight allowed is 95 kg; minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Bring ID, sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, long trousers, a small water bottle, and any riding-level notes requested at booking.
