Discover Formentera's most charming villages. History, local culture, and must-see spots on your visit to the island.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The other side of the island<\/b><\/h2>\n

Beyond the beaches, Formentera has a vibrant interior. Small villages where time seems to slow down, with white churches, peaceful squares, country houses, and cafes where you can enjoy a leisurely drink.<\/span><\/p>\n

These villages aren't large or spectacular, but they have something special about them. They're part of the island's identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saint Francis Xavier<\/b><\/h3>\n

It's the island's capital. It houses the town hall, the main services, and a lively square. The fortified church is one of its symbols, built in the 18th century to protect residents from pirate attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

In its streets, you'll find local shops, restaurants, and terraces for breakfast or a glass of wine in the afternoon. There's a quiet, yet lively atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sant Ferran de Ses Roques<\/b><\/h3>\n

A town with the soul of a crossroads. It's known for its alternative atmosphere and for being a meeting point for artists since the 1960s. The legendary Fonda Pepe bar, a meeting place for hippies and travelers, used to be here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, it remains a place with its own character, full of bars, live music, and a relaxed nightlife. It also has small galleries, bookstores, and a summer craft market.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pillar of La Mola<\/b><\/h3>\n

Located at the eastern end of the island, it's the highest village. The road leading to it is worth a visit in itself. Once there, you'll find a quieter, rural atmosphere, with open views and plenty of countryside surrounding you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is the <\/span>oldest mill on the island<\/b>, the most famous craft market (Wednesdays and Sundays) and La Mola lighthouse, just minutes away. It's perfect for a half-day trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is Cal\u00f3 de Sant Agust\u00ed<\/b><\/h3>\n

More than a village, it's a small fishing village. It has a traditional boat harbor, low-rise houses, and restaurants with seaside terraces. From here begins one of the island's most beautiful hiking trails: the Cam\u00ed de Sa Pujada.<\/span><\/p>\n

It's a perfect place to eat good fish, stroll along the sea, and disconnect from the noise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"It's

The Savina<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is the port of entry to the island. Although it's not the prettiest, it has its charm. Here you'll see the comings and goings of boats, markets, nautical shops, and options for booking activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Formentera
