We continue our route along the Camí de Cavalls in which we are going to explore an area called dry Menorca. This way will take us to several coves and we once again meet up with the rich prehistoric heritage that inundates the island. It will be a relatively short but very interesting trip.
We start off at sea level in Cala Algaiarens but the first steps we take go inland, through a wooded area, with a small climb to go back down again to the picturesque cove of Fontanelles.
After another section that goes up and down, we reach Biniatram, a pebbly cove where we can see the coastal vegetation beaten by the Tramontana wind. From here we penetrate the marina of Corniola, with vegetation that flourishes with medicinal plants where we will come across rosemary, heather and even chamomile from Menorca.
The last part of the route goes through the urbanisation of Cala Morell, whose cliffs house a Talayotic necropolis which you must visit, formed by caves excavated from the rock. Needless to say that the candidature for a UNESCO World Heritage Site has included this point as part of the portfolio.
The route ends after the urbanisation, before passing the dry stone wall to the west. If the weather is fine, you can make the most of the end of the route to have drink in the bar with some privileged views over the cove, but unfortunately it is only open in the high season. In any case, the view is well worth it.
