Formentera

Formentera is one of the four islands of the Balearic archipelago, which in turn forms part of the Pitiuse Islands.
With the typical Mediterranean vegetation, it was used by the Romans as granary and wheat deposit (frumentaria) from which the name derives.
The inhabited centers of the island are six: Sant Francesc Xavier, Sant Ferran de ses Roques, El Pilar de La Mola, Es Caló de Sant Augustì, La Savina and Es Pujols.

Among the most pretty beaches and coves we mention:
Espalmador Natural Park is a small island 150 meters separate from Ses Illetes and measures 3 km2., Espalmador's best-known beach is S’Algar, a small bay with white sand and crystal clear sea. Behind the beach there the small peninsula is covered with vegetation, on the island there is no restaurant or bathing establishment and it also has a reserve of beautiful sand dunes, it is possible to get there only by boat.
The beaches of Ses Illetes, positioned in the northernmost point of Formentera and the closest to the island of Espalmador are the most visited and frequented by tourists. Its peculiarity is that in some places it is a strip of sand of a few tens of meters with the sea on both sides. Some renowned beach clubs famous for sunset cocktails and excellent paella are: Beso Beach, El Tiburon and the famous Juan y Andrea restaurant. Migjorn bay is one of the largest in the southern part of Formentera (from La Mola to Es Cap de Barbaria).
Cala Saona, a small beach, but also one of the most beautiful, full of restaurants and kiosks from which you can admire the nearby Ibiza.
Llevant, based in the northern tip of the island, in the east area (as the name indicates) is a large beach and is the area closest to Ses Illetes, so it is quite popular.
It is recommended to rent scooters (available both from the port of La Savina and from the village of Es Pujol) to explore the entire island of Formentera, also reaching the lighthouse in the south of the island to admire the breathtaking view of the cliffs. Many markets animate the villages of Formentera during the summer months such as Sant Ferran de ses Roques, Sant Francesc Xavier and others.
