About Cala Galdana to Macarella
From Cala Galdana the Camí de Cavalls climbs west through the pines to Cala Mitjana and on to Macarella and Macarelleta, with views down into the coves. In summer, start early and take plenty of water; walkers arriving at Macarella on foot can board the Consell’s bus back to Ciutadella only if seats are left (mout.cime.es).
