  --> everything I haven’t told you, which you have to discover

If you also like hiking, I recommend exploring as much as you can of the Camí de Cavalls. A trail that goes all around the island’s perimeter. Some sections are simply wonderful.

Menorca is a small island, I hope you don’t get lost if you go without GPS.
