Camí de Cavalls

The Camí de Cavalls is an ancient path, 186 km (116 miles) in length,[1] that encircles the island of Menorca, Spain.

This long-distance walking route is the GR 223 of the Senderos de Gran Recorrido network in Spain that connects some of the most inaccessible beaches of Menorca.

It is widely accepted that the Camí de Cavalls was built in order to connect the watchtowers, fortresses and cannons distributed along the coast of the island and to make the transport of troops and artillery easier.

All the start and arrival points can be gained access to by road traffic, making possible to cover only one or some stages of the path at a time.

Between April 28, 2012 and May 1, 2012, the world champion in adventure racing Arnau Julià went in 82 h 30 min three times around the path, one running, one in mountain-bike and the last one in kayak, covering in total more than 500 km (310 miles).
