Hiking the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Submitted by carmine.nezi on

Take a guided stroll through the pure natural beauty of Menorca, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. From the fishing village of Es Grau in the S’Albufera des Grau Natural Park, you will reach a lagoon enclosed by dunes with a river running to the sea. Paths lead through the habitats of wetland birds such as ducks, coots and herons. Ospreys, kites and booted eagles also nest in the park, and rare Iberian green frogs live in seasonal torrents and ponds. Vegetation includes holm oaks, lentisk shrubs and tree spurge. The walk takes you along the route known as Cami de Cavalls, which encircles the lush island. Look out over the verdant Colom Island offshore and continue down to the secluded, sandy cove of Cala Tamarells before heading back to Es Grau. The hike is sure to reveal wonderful coastal views and access to an abundance of protected vegetation and birdlife. Afterward you will have time to explore the village and enjoy a refreshment.
