Reach Mahón from the Me-7 and follow the signs to the Port (Puerto).We will go through a long "roundabout" but we will see the signs clearly.
- 2Roundabout
We will get to the roundabout that connects Mahón to the Me-5 (in case we reach the roundabout by this road) and we must follow the signs to La Mola Fortress (Fortaleza de la Mola)
- 3Sign "Sant Antoni"
Once we have left the Port we will see a detour to our right with a sign indicating "Sant Antoni" and several coves. We will follow it. Once at the new road,we must divert again into the first street on our right.

We will get to a development with few streets. The houses are mainly in the western area of Cala Rata overlooking the Port of Mahón. We must wander the streets to our left until we reach Cala Rata or Rateta.
