Son Bou is a 4km beach of white sand and shallow waters, the longest of the island. Here you see the   humid area that forms the Prat de Son Bou lagoon. Observe hundreds of waterfowl which pass through all year.

Going down to the beach there is a Paleochristian Basilica of the 5th century discovered in 1951 it has been catalogued as an Asset of Cultural Interest. Then, the 8 km stretch from Son Bou to Cala en Porter takes place in the des Relotge ravine, the longest on the island 12-km-long, dedicated to the cultivation of fruit trees.

 A short distance from this route, about 2 km away, you can visit the Torre de’n Galmés, the largest prehistoric settlement in the Balearic Islands, with an area of 62,000 m2.

 The Camí de Cavalls route crosses the tourist resort of Cala en Porter where two totally different environments are discovered: one goes from the winding path that the ravines draw in the western part of the island, to the slightly hilly part of the eastern zone. In the last section, in the direction of Es Canutells, is Calescoves, with over a hundred prehistoric caves that turn this place into a point of archaeological interest.

The route finishes at the tourist resort of Es Canutells. Return to  Mahon by bus.
