Three weeks in Sept/Oct gave us plenty of time to benefit from the routes in Walk Menorca. Everything worked just as described except the Forts Ancient & Modern where the military have evicted the hippies and re-occupied the Lluc al Lari fort; unfortunately.
We particularly like the routes linking the resorts and the North coast region. Such beautiful contryside but when the book says it is tough as on the route to Es Grau it really does mean it and without the book you would be unlikely to reach this delightful little settlement. We also bought the Tour & Trail Map which was equally brilliant.
Thinking a Menorca author would be more up to date we bought a local booklet - it was useless, not one route worked, some decidedly dangerous so be warned and stick with Walk Menorca and the Tour & Trail Map, you will not be disappointed.

Worth the price, trust me!
OK, there are 100 walking guides out there, some of them old and revered, some old and outdated, some of which will allow you to search for older tracks and ways that have become obscured in recent times and fallen into desuetude, but this book will let you walk with success from day one. Coupled with the excellent and durable map which partners this book, this may be the only walking guide you will need to explore fully this beautiful island.

Useful but not at the detail level
The walks we did from this book were all nice walks but none of them was as described in the book. To be fair to the authors this is mostly because Menorca has blocked off many old... Read more

This little book is a good as other reviews have said. We mostly used it in the SE part of Menorca, both for walks and for cycling. Read more

This guidebook made our holiday
I hadn't planned on walking on this trip - not my kind of terrain, or so I thought. Instead of lounging round the pool I reluctantly agreed to try a shorter walk from this book. Read more
