Getting from Es Mercadal to coastal resorts for 2 weeks.

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone in or near Es Mercadal may have a suggestion for me.  I am hoping to come to Menorca in 2022 to walk the Cami de Cavalls with a friend.  We would like to stay in Es Mercadal and will hire a car from the airport etc..  I have been to the island many times in the past but sadly not since 2007!  We would like to maybe find/hire a driver who could take us each morning to our starting point for the day and then collect us from wherever we have walked to by late afternoon/early evening to bring us back to Es Mercadal.  We chose a central point to stay for this purpose.  Alternatively, I am trying to work out whether the bus network would facilitate this -  we don't mind travelling to Mao or Ciutadella to change each journey.  The timetables are a bit confusing and seem to have gap from Sept to Nov when I can't work out whether it's a normal or restricted service.  I have looked at the guided and organised options but they are quite restrictive and/or miss some parts of the route, or are too quick or too slow - I know, I'm fussy lol.

I thought maybe as local residents the expat community may have useful knowledge they could share with me.  We want to give ourselves as much flexibility as we can and intend to use our car to make the very most of our time there when we aren't walking.

Thanks in anticipation

Nikki
