If you are visiting Menorca with the idea of hiking, backpacking is an essential aspect that makes outdoor adventures fun and safe.
However, in general, whenever you are backpacking, certain things are mandatory to consider. They include the location (how far or remote it is), the weather forecast, the terrain and the vehicle. The standard rule is = the longer, farther, and rougher the hike is, the more gear, food, water and clothing you need.
It is good to start your hiking journey on a scooter rather than in a car because bikes are easier to park, easier to rent, and easier to maneuver.

Since you cannot survive or hike without food, make sure you store plenty of it. Energy drinks and foods like bars, protein shakes, trail mixes, nuts, jerky and hard cheese can easily be eaten and carried along. Depending upon the available sources of water to the place you are going, plan your water content. Generally, one must have ½ liter of water in an hour for a medium hike.
