Cam\u00ed de Cavalls. Stage 18:<\/strong>
\nBinissaf\u00faller – Punta Prima\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Stage 18 of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls runs almost entirely through streets and paved roads of numerous residential developments, with the exception of two small remaining dirt path sections at the beginning and end of the route.<\/h2>\n

This stage of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls begins a few meters from the beach at Binissaf\u00faller<\/b>, from where a small path takes you to the road that links the various built-up areas that cover this part of the southern Menorca coast. After passing through the picturesque tourist town of Binib\u00e8quer Vell <\/b>and without leaving the tarmac, you cross the residential areas of Binib\u00e8quer Nou<\/b>, Biniancolla<\/b> and Son Ganxo<\/b>. From here, another small path takes you to the residential area of Punta Prima<\/b>, where the stage finishes at the end of this tourist village\u2019s beach.<\/p>\n

<\/i> Distance<\/strong>: <\/strong><\/span>8.1 km \u2022 Difficulty<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Easy \u2022 Estimated walking time<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/span> 2 h 30 min<\/p>\n

<\/i><\/span> Take care with the traffic on this stretch since for the most part it runs along quite busy roads, above all in summer, that were not necessarily built with walkers in mind.<\/p>\n

The surroundings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This part of the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls<\/b> crosses a flat but rocky section of Menorca\u2019s southern coast that is currently very built-up. The rocky islands of Binissaf\u00faller<\/b> and the Illa de l\u2019Aire<\/b> and its lighthouse remain in sight for most of the walk. Halfway along the walk, you reach Cala de Binib\u00e8quer<\/b>, whose white sands and transparent waters are ideal for bathing. The area of Cal\u00f3 Fondo in Binissaf\u00faller<\/b> (known locally as Ses Olles) is an excellent for diving. It is fairly shallow and safe for bathing because in summer it is roped off and boats are not allowed in.<\/p>\n

Nearby sites of interest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u2022<\/span> Illa de l’Aire: <\/span><\/strong>During part of this stage there are views of the Illa de l\u2019Aire and its lighthouse. This island harbors a wealth of species, many of great ecological value, such as the Balearic lizard Podarcis lilfordi<\/em>, which here thrives in its densest Menorcan population.<\/p>\n

Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n

En route, you will come across a number of different built-up areas with services such as bars, restaurants and small supermarkets, almost all open only during the tourist season.<\/p>\n

How to get there<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/i> Binissaf\u00faller<\/b> is just over 9 km from Ma\u00f3<\/b> and 5 km from Sant Llu\u00eds<\/b>. Take the road from this latter population through s\u2019Ullastrar<\/b> towards the beaches of the south coast. After about 2 km (after passing the turn-off to Binib\u00e8quer<\/b>) at the prehistoric settlement of Binissafullet<\/b>, turn left and then right 2 km further on. This road will take you to the beach at Binissaf\u00faller<\/b> and a little further on to the starting point for this stage. Heading south from Sant Llu\u00eds<\/b> you can also head for Punta Prima<\/b>, ignoring the roads off to Alcalfar<\/b> and Son Ganxo<\/b>.<\/p>\n

<\/i>\u00a0 Throughout the whole route there are \u00a0plenty of places to park. The beach at Binissaf\u00faller<\/b> is 500 m from the start of the stage, but there are a few places to park at the beginning of the stage itself.<\/p>\n

<\/i> During the tourist season, a number of buses run from Ma\u00f3 and Sant Llu\u00eds that stop in Binissaf\u00faller<\/b>, Binib\u00e8quer<\/b> and Punta Prima<\/b>. Check out bus times and frequencies (that vary according to the season)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to go through the Cam\u00ed de Cavalls<\/strong> in stages, either a part or all of it, you have to plan your trek well. There are no accommodation for trekkers on the path, so you will have to make use of the touristic accommodations you will find on the route. That is the reason why making the route outside the tourist season could be somewhat complicated.<\/p>\n

It is important to adapt the route plan to your physical condition and your experience as a trekker. In many cases, the ideal choice is to hire a logistic service for you to resolve those shortcomings. This way, you will be able to get the most out of the experience.<\/p>\n
