Description

Context Cala Fustam, located on the southern coast of Menorca, is the island’s only beach where horse access is permitted all year. This private natural setting, far from urban developments, offers an authentic Mediterranean landscape of pine forests and trails bordered by dry stone walls known as paret seca. Pure air and the songs of birds accompany the journey, which begins at the Es Calafat farm, just a few kilometers from the town of Ferreries.

The Experience The ride begins with horse and equipment assignment at the farm. The route mostly proceeds at a walk, with some sections at a gentle trot, along rural trails and Mediterranean pine woodlands. Upon reaching Cala Fustam, riders enjoy the sand and the chance to enter the sea, if conditions allow. The return journey is calm and peaceful, completing a circular route that allows participants to feel the texture of the sand and the fresh sea breeze.

For Whom This activity is suitable for beginners aged 12 and older with good physical fitness, as well as experienced riders seeking a calm and safe route. It is not recommended for individuals over 50 years old without prior equestrian experience, nor for those exceeding 90 kg without prior notice.

Local Context Menorca preserves rural traditions such as the construction of paret seca, dry stone walls that mark trails and property boundaries. The Es Calafat farm, the starting point, is part of this agricultural and livestock heritage that coexists with sustainable tourism and environmental conservation.

Description

Para los que os enamoran los paseos a caballo por la playa, la idílica Cala Fustam es vuestro destino en cualquier estación, ya que es una de las playas de Menorca en la que se permite la entrada de equinos los 365 días del año. Y aprovechando esta ventaja, organizamos magníficas travesías de unas 2 horas y media para quienes decidan experimentar los placeres de montar en corcel. Hablar de la Cala Fustam es hablar de las playas virginales de aguas turquesas tan características de la localidad de Migjorn Gran. Pondremos rumbo a esta ensenada desde la popular Playa de Binigaus, para de esta forma recorrer los rincones más especiales del litoral menorquí de manos de nuestro guía. Esta travesía presenta una dificultad baja, por ello, la recomendamos a aquellas personas que quieran estrenarse en el mundo del caballo y que tengan como mínimo 12 años. Tampoco necesitáis una forma física determinada, ya que nuestros caballos están acostumbrados al trato con humanos y no os pondrán ningún impedimento. Los auténticos jinetes van siempre debidamente equipados: es obligatorio llevar casco a lo largo de todo el paseo por cuestiones de seguridad. Y también es importante que vestidas con ropa y calzado confortables que no hagan ningún tipo de herida o rozadura a nuestros caballos. *El peso máximo permitido para montar a caballo es de 90kg.
