Formentera is a very green island, appreciated not only by sea lovers, but also by hiking enthusiasts. There are in fact 19 green routes, to be explored on foot or by bicycle, to explore the island’s hinterland. Among the many trails, there is also one that follows the traces of the ancient Roman road. The natural landscape consists of dunes, pine forests and Mediterranean vegetation, and it is good to pay attention to the fact that many areas are considered protected areas.

Also characteristic of the Formentera area are the white mills, with lime linings and wooden blades.

The main center of the island is the town of San Francisco Xavier, located about three kilometers from the port area. Here is Formentera’s most renowned square – that of the Town Hall – and a pretty shopping area. Passing San Francisco Xavier you come across San Ferran, a renowned tourist hub. Another tourist attraction is Es Pujol, where you can find a rich selection of restaurants, bars, discos and nightclubs.

The quietest town is La Mola, which owes much of its tranquility to the fair distance that separates it from the more central towns (it is almost 20 kilometers from Marina de Formentera)and to its hillside location, from which magnificent views can be enjoyed.
