To start ... 3 tips about Cala Galdana in a motorhome

1 Be responsible in a motorhome: the island is small, do not overcrowd, you see in low season

Before going to Menorca by motorhome you should know that it is a very very small island, so much so that in an hour by motorhome you travel it from end to end. That and the fact that the parking spaces are very small makes the best time to go to Menorca by motorhome is always out of high season, that is, outside of July and August whenever you want.

If you go in July and August in a motorhome, a recommendation: stay in one of the two campsites on the island and get around by motorcycle or in a small rental car.

Under no circumstances do you camp, be responsible, camping is totally prohibited on the island

Camping is prohibited in all of Spain, but Menorca is also a UNESCO Biosphere Heritage Site, for which all the more reason we must be the most respectful of the environment.

We know that the vigilance by the civil guard on the island is maximum before the encampments and that they are fined 200 euros for it because of what colleagues from the island have told us. So, do not camp and do not spend the night in the forbidden places.

REMEMBER, CAMPING IS OUTSTANDING THE PERIMETER OF YOUR VEHICLE (take out table and chairs, awning, open windows ...).

Cala Galdana by motorhome what to see and do

Cala Galdana by motorhome, the urban cove and children's favorite

Cala Galdana is a very touristy beach where a large urbanization has grown around it that has all kinds of services. From the typical beach bars, hammocks and parasols that occupy a large part of the beach, to a complete range of nautical activities. 

In addition, in the urbanized area you will find accommodation, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, pharmacy, supermarkets, shops, etc. 

Cala Galdana has a large beach but being very closed and framed by high cliffs it is very protected from the waves, it is ideal for children. Its calm waters and the pine trees that are on the same fine white sand make it one of the best known and most frequented beaches in Menorca, especially for a very family tourism. 

Cala Galdana is one of the best beaches children's from Menorca, since its easy access by car, its fine sand and the transparent and shallow waters make it a safe and pleasant beach. 

In addition, its closed structure means that it does not get used to having many waves, turning it into a natural pool, a luxury for the whole family and that our children fell in love with.

The star place of Cala Galdana for our children: Los Toboganes

But that's not all, what made this place become the star of our children's trip was: The Slides! This is the name of a restaurant that you will find when you cross the bridge. A special restaurant that captivated us all in this place.

In Los Toboganes while the parents eat a delicious paella for more than popular prices (for € 14 you eat) the kids can enjoy a pool with slides, playground, mini golf etc ... 

Imagine then that we hardly left the restaurant hehehe Restaurant for dinner, for lunch, for breakfast hehehe

Where to park and spend the night in Cala Galdana in a motorhome

In Cala Galdana we find one of the two campsites on the island and perhaps the most familiar and with more activities for children, a good option to take out table chairs and camp quietly.

Also, you have the parking in the center behind the bridge, which for large motorhomes at the end of everything has some horizontal spaces that you can park. You have to be late to have a place here, otherwise the parking lot is always full.

Finally, from June to September they also open a dirt car park at the entrance of the municipality, also a good place to park and spend the night without camping.
