The Camí de Cavalls GR223 & RideOnCamí
Europe has a network of trails classified as GR, “Gran Recorrido”, trails that require a minimum of 2 days to complete. The Camí de Cavalls was completely reopened in 2010 and classified as the GR223. Its name, Camí de Cavalls, means Horse Trail and dates back to the eighteenth century, in British Menorca. Before the arrival of English troops in Menorca, the Spaniards were responsible for destroying many of the defense and control points that existed on the island, forcing the new occupiers to strengthen the defenses. To do this, they built watchtowers along the Menorcan coast and, to communicate them, a path was created that went around the entire island. This military route was patrolled by soldiers on horseback, hence the name, Camí de Cavalls.
