Why add Ferreries to a Ciutadella stay
Ferreries gives a Ciutadella stay a change of scene, with a compact town centre and rural sights beyond it. From Grupoandria Platja in Ciutadella, you can plan the outing around the town’s streets first, then decide whether to add a walk or cycle toward the ravine.
The town is also associated with footwear factories producing internationally known brands.
For another day focused on Ciutadella itself, this one-day Ciutadella itinerary sets out a separate city-centre plan.
How do you get from Ciutadella to Ferreries?
Check the current bus route and timetable with Menorca’s official public-transport service before travelling. The available L72 schedule information is seasonal and does not establish the current service or fare, so confirm the details for your travel date rather than relying on old departure times.
If you’re comparing buses with other ways of getting around, the guide to getting around Ciutadella covers local transport and trips. Allow your plans to remain flexible: the L72 timetable notes that traffic and weather can affect journey duration.
Planning time in the town
Start in the centre, where narrow streets gather around the 19th-century parish church of Sant Bartomeu and Plaça d’Espanya. This gives your visit a clear first stop before you head farther out to the area’s historic or natural sights.
Ferreries is associated with xupín, a handmade ice cream available in town. It’s a local speciality to look out for as you explore the centre.

Ferreries’ heritage sights include Sant Bartomeu, the ruins of an Arab castle on Mount Santa Àgueda, and remains of an ancient Roman road nearby. The castle, also known as Castell de Santa Àgueda, stands on the hill of the same name and dates to the Caliphate of Córdoba.
For a landscape contrast, the Barranc d’Algendar is a green ravine with the Torrent d’Algendar flowing along part of its route.
