Es Migjorn Gran is a small municipality in southern Menorca in the Spanish Balearic Islands. Formerly incorporated into the municipality of Es Mercadal, it is now the island's newest and second-smallest municipal district. The main inland village of Es Migjorn Gran is surrounded by small pine-clad hills, and the coast is home to a small variety of tourist resorts and unspolit beaches, Santo Tomas being the principal resort. There are many 'calas' or coves that are encompassed by pine-covered cliffs along the coast, where there are small sandy beaches only accessible by foot or by sea, which mean they are very rarely busy.
The estate itself has an endless number of trails for walking and cycling, but you could also venture onto the Camino de Cavalls, a 200 km trail around Menorca crossing the Binigaus Estate at its southern edge.
Whether doing it on horseback, like in the old days, by foot or on one of the boutique villa´s free mountain bikes, it’s an excellent way to stay active and enjoy what has been granted the status of Biosphere Reserves of the World by UNESCO.
You could also journey less than 800 meters to see the impressive, 80 feet tall cave, and on the way enjoy other elements of Menorca´s rich heritage from the various cultures that have arrived on the Binigaus Estate´s shores throughout thousands of years of history.
