Cap d’Artrutx to Cala en Blanes – 21st April 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last day, and apart from the burning in my lower legs, I am feeling strong. Most of today will be on the cliffs, walking through that limestone scarf, but the other portion will be in the town and the villages each side – some smooth surface for a change.
Today, a first. I’ve passed many naturalist beaches and indeed many normal beaches where people feel free to strip down – more power to them – but coming up the trail today, a naturalist hiker. His rucksack must chaff, I imagine, and some of those climbs that could do with a ladder must end up with him dangling his dingle in the dust. March on old grey dude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The start and, in the far distance, I can see the finish. The Mallorca ferry on the move.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Cala Blanca ahead and the start of the built up area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I can clearly see the hotel now, not the big one on the point, the smaller one a bit to its right.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Cala Santandria. Every property for the last mile has been empty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The next ferry in the port. Could be nice way to travel – ferry from Barcelona and then between the islands.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The tower at the mouth of the Cala. Looks Arabic with its spinarets.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Some impaled fish at a roundabout. A metaphor for the futility of live?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Platja Gran. Tough to see why.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The obelisk beside the …<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Tourist office?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bridge was closed, meaning detour, which I hate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The tower, now from the other side of the harbour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A bit of peace for a few mins away from the people. God! Must be chaotic in the summer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The hotel at Cala en Blanes and the finish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Strange mixture today. Miles across the broken limestone cliffs – which in Malta is called the Garrigue – for the last time, then miles through the tourist conurbations with increasing crowds for the first time. Then the path passes beneath the hotel and finish – Menorca done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
