Uncover the secrets of Minorca, one step at a time, while walking stretches of the timeless Camí de Cavalls.

Our guided walks will take us past some of the island's loveliest beaches, through marshes, farmland, dunes, and woodland, as well as some of the more interesting gorges. We’ll learn about the different vegetation that grows in these places, as well as spotting birds such as the osprey and the shag.

Local Area
The resort of S’Algar stands on a rocky headland known for its coves, capes and islets. It’s a pretty, peaceful place with a scattering of bars and restaurants, all easily reached from the hotel along the long, level promenade. Walkers love heading off on the Cami de Cavalls walking trail - a famous bridlepath that encircles the whole island which is easily reached from the hotel.
We are delighted to welcome back the Hotel Alua Illa de Menorca, previously known as the Hotel San Luis. S'Algar has long been a favourite of Saga guests with its extensive leisure options including tennis courts, bowling greens and great walking on the nearby Cami de Cavalls, the bridle path that encircles the island. The new owners, AM Resorts, have refurbished and further improved the hotel interiors.

Included excursions
The Flatlands of the East
This fairly easy-going seven-kilometre walk is all about experiencing the eastern extremities of Minorca. The coastal section of the trail from Punta Prima passes saltpans and the sturdy looking fortifications of the Alcafar Tower. Cutting inland, you’ll then walk through gorges and gullies and under the shade of evergreen holm oaks. Gorges, such as Cala de Sant Esteve and Binnissaida, are well known for being sheltered from the elements and as such the trees have grown to be far taller than other areas of the island. Upon reaching Punta de s'Esperó, you’ll find yourself on the most easterly edge of not just Minorca, but the whole of Spain.
