Health and safety

Menorca is generally easy to explore on foot, but there are several low hills and rugged paths

There are no particular dangers for walkers in Menorca. Naturally, care must be taken near cliffs and beside the sea. Sun protection is advised throughout the year, and sufficient food and drink must be carried when there are no open shops, cafés or bars along the route. Most of the roads followed in this guide are quiet, or have good pavements, but it is always wise to keep an eye on the traffic. Many of the paths used in this guidebook are also available to mountain bikers and horse riders, and it is wise to step to one side and let them pass.

If you require medication, take adequate supplies with you. Pharmacies can advise in case of minor ailments, while for medical emergencies, phone 061. If a doctor or a trip to a hospital is required, European citizens should present their European Health Insurance Card, which may help to offset the cost of certain treatments.
