MTB 4 stages

Circular route of 4 stages that passes mainly through the inland of Menorca. The route consists of rural paths and some of the most affordable sections of the Camí de Cavalls. This route allows you to discover inland landscapes and stretches of the Menorca coastline, as well as some of the main sites in Talayotic Menorca.

The difficulty of the route is medium. Although most sections do not present any type of technical difficulty, it also goes through some sections, generally short, with a higher technical difficulty. In any case, each of the stages offers different possibilities of route in order to adapt to the preferences and level of each participant. Each stage has been named after the wind that blows in and out of the island.
