The go-to Menorca walking guide for discovering the best walks and car tours.
Strap on your boots and discover Menorca on foot with the Sunflower Menorca travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours.
The Sunflower Menorca guide is indispensable for hiking in Menorca or seeing Menorca by car. Menorca is a peaceful island, much more low-key than its neighbouring Balearic Islands. Walking in Menorca takes you to some beautiful scenery, both inland and along the truly idyllic coastline with its splendid beaches. Whether you're hiking or touring Menorca by car, you will marvel at the amazing remnants of Menorca's past scattered all around the island, the densest concentration of prehistoric monuments in Europe.
Inside the Sunflower Menorca guide book you'll find:
65 long and short walks for all ages and abilities - each walk is graded so you can easily match your ability to the level of walk
Topographical walking maps - give you a clear sense of the surrounding terrain with a scale of 1:50 000
Free downloadable gps tracks - for the techies
Satnav guidance to walk starts for motorists
2 car tours and fold-out touring map - for easy reference on your tour
Strolls to idyllic picnic spots - enjoy our recommendations for where to picnic along the way
Timetables for public transport - ideal if you want to link two walks or avoid hiring a car on your holiday
Online update service for the latest information

This fully updated 8th edition will delight Menorca's many enthusiasts. The large-scale topo maps and the fold-out touring map include the Cam de Cavalls, a round-the-island coastal trek. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable holiday in Menorca.
Whether you tour the region by car or explore on foot, we look forward to showing you around.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Since 1983 people out walking in sunny climes have been relying on our 'little blue books' to follow the trails - and to make friends with other walkers. Sunflower started by exploring the Atlantic Islands, but has branched out: we still love islands - from the Azores to Zakynthos - but we cover many mainland destinations too, like land-locked Switzerland and the coastal Basque Country. All our guides have the familiar mix of car tours, walks and picnics. More recently, we introduced restaurants and recipes in our 'Walk & Eat' series, which explores around cities from Stockholm to Avignon.
