From May 7 to 11, Menorca will host the eighth edition of the Hats & Horses event, a gathering that has captured the attention of enthusiasts of sports, culture, gastronomy, and equestrian tradition. Recognized for its focus on promoting local values and sustainable development, this event aims to create a space where generations can connect and local talents can be highlighted, fostering respectful coexistence between the community and visitors.
Hats & Horses is not just a series of activities; it stands as a statement of intent that emphasizes authenticity and inclusion. Inspired by Menorca’s rich culture and nature, the event offers a comprehensive experience that encompasses various sectors, always with a commitment to the environment and the local community. An essential aspect of this gathering is its social focus, which manifests in projects that allow children and seniors to exchange experiences in an environment of learning and mutual support. This makes the event a refuge for young people in vulnerable situations and an opportunity for seniors to feel useful and active.
During these five days, Menorca will transform into the heart of equestrian elegance and Mediterranean culture, starting with the 5th International Equestrian Forum. This forum will bring together experts from around the world to discuss the potential of the equestrian sector as a driver of seasonality reduction. The highlight of the event will be on May 9, featuring the main celebration, which will include trotting races, performances by the Purebred Menorquina, live music, delicious local gastronomy, and exhibitions of craftsmanship.
There will also be unique horseback routes, talks, and meet-ups that promote a laid-back lifestyle, culminating in an equestrian fair in Es Mercadal dedicated to the Menorquín horse. Hats & Horses extends beyond these five days; its H&H Experience initiative offers year-round proposals to explore Menorca through personalized experiences that combine nature, culture, and gastronomy. These experiences are designed for those seeking authenticity, elegance, and a deeper connection to the natural environment. With its Camí de Cavalls and pristine beaches, Menorca presents the perfect setting to experience transformative moments.
