Îles Baléares : entre fêtes, nature et traditions, un paradis méconnu ? – Documentaire voyage – AMP

The Balearic Islands are struggling to shake off the
preconceived ideas that people may have about them. We will take you on the
back roads to discover an archipelago with unexpected faces, from the architectural heritage
of Majorca to the ancestral festivals of Minorca where the sense of tradition
has managed to curb excessive tourism. It would be wrong to only remember Ibiza for
the intense nightlife of its capital, as nature has endowed it with other assets. As for Formentera, its little sister, the turquoise of its waters
easily rivals that of the Caribbean. Mallorca is not only the
largest of the Balearic Islands, it is also the most varied. Nicknamed
Sa Roqueta by the Mallorcans, meaning little rock, its
meaning is understood when approaching it from the northwest face of the Ricardo Roca promontory where
the wild side of the island appears. Villages like Estellencs are
generally located back from the coast, in the shade of the forests that border
the entire Puig de Galatzo massif. The villages often have
a beach below them or just a launching point for fishing boats. The Torre des Verger is one of the symbols
of the island, this old observation tower from the 15th century dominates a still
wild coastline which has seduced the greatest, including the King of Spain, the happy owner
of an official residence on the island. A little further north, Banyalbufar is a
village abundantly irrigated by water flowing from the Serra de Tramuntana, the
mountain range in the northwest of Mallorca. These cliffs, carved by the sea and the wind,
shelter coves where the few fishermen of the village of Es Port Des Canonge come to
put their boats in dry and sheltered conditions. These small bays anchored in the
red rock and bordered by pine trees are a true haven of peace for those who do
not hesitate to walk a little to enjoy them. At the top of the cliff, a few
houses have a sublime view, with the entire northwest coast stretching out at their feet. The ideal haven to enjoy
mild weather all year round. Valdemossa is undoubtedly one of the
most popular villages on the island. It is not so much its Charterhouse that attracts
visitors, but its illustrious occupants. In 1835 George Sand and Frédéric Chopin
stayed there for only 4 months but that was enough to maintain
a legend around the village. Moving further inland, the
village of Binissalem celebrates the end of the grape harvest, the Vermar, every autumn.
All the winegrowers come together after a long year of work for
8 days of festivities and folklore. The large parade in traditional clothing
shows the attachment of its population to the values ​​and roots of this land
deeply rooted in the vine. One of the highlights of the Vermar is
the dinner in the streets of the town. The residents invite their friends to a huge
outdoor banquet in front of their homes. And that evening we can say that the whole
village is dining outside. On the menu, the star dish is a vermicelli soup accompanied by
mutton. The party will continue late into the night. On the road from Palma to Algaida, there is the Can Gordiola factory.
Founded in 1719, it is renowned for its blown glass technique which produces
delicate objects in green and blue hues. The tradition
of this precision work has been perpetuated from century to century, with young people taking over from the master glassmakers
to continue creating unique pieces. With its 400,000 inhabitants, the
largest city in the Balearic Islands, Palma de Mallorca, stretches a little further south.

Its center recalls all the richness
of history built by successive layers. After being one of the
main Islamic capitals of Europe in the 12th century, the city became a flourishing trading port with the arrival of the
Christians. Its narrow streets are a wonderful
playground for schoolchildren who then meet at Can Joan de S’Aigo,
one of the oldest pastry shops in the city, to taste Ensaimaidas. These are
brioches whose dough is left to rise for a long time. A jealously guarded secret, their
recipe comes in several varieties. Near the cathedral, the
streets become even narrower, and real treasures are hidden
behind doors. These are old patriarchal residences, such as
Can Vivo, which dates from the 17th century. The heart of the city is close to the sea and despite
its development, Palma remains very attached to it. Overlooking the harbour,
Bellver Castle was the summer residence of James II. With a
very avant-garde design for its time, its circular architecture makes it one
of the most beautiful Gothic castles in Europe. Palma has been influenced by several
artists, the first of whom was Miró, who lived there for many
years until his death in 1983. Recently renovated, the Olivar market remains an
essential place to taste the island’s specialties, such as Sobrassada, which is a spread of
dried sausage meat. Connoisseurs also know that it is at the
market that you can taste the best tapas, these small dishes from the continent
that you find in many famous restaurants where they are
shared without ceremony at the counter. La Seu, the cathedral, is the center of
Palma. Even visually, it attracts all eyes. After the
Christian reconquest of the city in 1229, its construction lasted almost 300 years on the site of the
city’s most important mosque. It is to James I that we owe this Gothic building,
one of the most remarkable in Spain. Partially destroyed during the
earthquake of 1851, the building will be regularly restored. More recently, it was Miquel Barceló
who had the opportunity to express himself in a style that could leave
more than one traditionalist perplexed. We set off again towards the
north coast. The imposing church of Sant Bartomeu in Sóller marks the entrance
to the Serra d’Alfabia valley. The Sóller market is sought after,
it is a meeting place for all the villagers from the surrounding area. The city has
always had a great agricultural tradition, thanks to efficient irrigation systems
that the Moors created in the 8th century. The orange trees, the lemon trees, the vines and
the olive trees have made Soller’s reputation. As for the olives,
they are truly worshipped. As you move away from Sóller, the fields of orange and lemon trees gradually give way
to the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana. Biniaraix is ​​an ideal starting point for
hikers to the mountain range. This village jealously preserves its calm
and its style, inherited from the Moorish era. Fornalutx, the neighboring village, also
carefully cultivates its authenticity. Attached to Sóller until 1812, the town is proud
of its independence and its heritage. Around these villages, olive trees
are omnipresent while higher up, the harshness of the mountain takes over. The highest peak on the island, Puig Major,
reaches 1445m. Part of its slopes is occupied by military equipment, the rest is
covered by goats and sheep. Further down the coast, Sóller has
a recently renovated port which serves as a starting point for exploring
the many nearby coves. Like those of Sa Calobra, a haven
of peace that is best enjoyed at the end of the day. In the past this
coast was only accessible by boat. Today the route has
further increased its popularity. It is a perfect anchorage, near a
tiny beach but which opens onto a long valley. In the northern part of the island, there was once
a large lake separated from the sea by dunes, and which was gradually filled with sediment.
Today these wetlands are protected and the S’Albufera Natural Park houses a
bird sanctuary that enthusiasts come to observe from watchtowers.
It is also an encouraging presence in the face of ever-increasing real estate pressure
in other parts of the island. Close to the sea, the park
gives way to dunes which are also protected and open
towards the Cap de Formentor. In a few years the dune ecosystem was
able to gradually rebuild itself. Starting from Alcanada, and all around
Cape Pinar, we can discover a coast that is still calm and peaceful in
its geography and its attendance. From the beaches of the Bay of Pollença you can see in the distance the much more
rugged relief of Cape Formentor. The coastline of this peninsula is arguably
the most spectacular spot on the island. It is in fact bordered by steep cliffs sometimes reaching 400m in altitude which stretch
for almost 20 kilometers to the west. On the eastern part of the cape, the relief
is gentler and descends towards the bay of Pollença where a pine-lined beach
is always very popular. Pollença, which forms a link between the Serra de Tramuntana and Cap de Formentor,
is a village founded by the Romans. But it was the Templars after 1229
who began the construction of churches which were then remodeled according to the
seizures of power in the region.

Every year a procession takes
these 365 steps for a legendary Stations of the Cross, bringing to life
episodes from the Passion of Christ. In the northeast of the island, nature has also
retained its rights. The watchtowers are the only buildings on
Son Real beach. This former farm has been transformed by its owner
into a natural museum, with in particular the Necropolis of Son Real, which was only excavated in
1960 and dates back to 1000 BC. C The most unexpected site on the island is
located at the gates of the village of Artá. The Peninsula de Llevant Natural Park was
created in 2001 and is home to several endemic species, such as the Saulonar palm, the
only native European palm tree. The old farms on the
estate have been transformed into guest rooms for
hikers, whose efforts will be rewarded by the discovery of
completely wild beaches. Located in the east of the Balearic archipelago,
Menorca is the furthest from the continent. Smaller than its big sister Majorca, it
takes barely an hour by car to cross its length. It
also offers a softer relief. Maó, the capital, has grown around
its historic center. Like Majorca, the island has seen many conquerors pass through it,
the Greeks, the Romans and the Arabs at first and more recently in the 18th
century the English and the French. Inaugurated in 1829, its theatre also served as
the first opera house in Spain. In September, the city experiences a week
of festivities with the Festes de la Mare de Déu de Gràcia, which begins with a parade of
giants who come to take possession of the city. Menorca is also the island of horses with
a very famous dressage school. This festival is dedicated to the noblest conquest of man.
It is accompanied by many age-old codes including black and white outfits as well as a whole
ceremony carefully respected each year. The riders arrive from all over
the island and gather for the blessing which will be given
in the church of Santa Maria. The church is too small to accommodate the entire crowd that presses to attend
the mass given by the bishop. The Virgin is then carried by four horsemen
and presented to the public to head towards the official tribune. The riders will greet
the notables before taking part in what everyone is waiting for: the Jaleo where each rider will
showcase the talent of their mount. The saddles have a backrest but this is
not always sufficient and when the horse rears, spectators come to support
the riders as much as to congratulate the horses. At the end of the town, a peninsula rises
as if out of time at the exit of the immense natural port of Maó; It is the Mola on which
an imposing fortress was erected in 1848: the Fortaleza de Isabell II.
The Spanish wanted to defend themselves against the possible appetites
of France and Great Britain. In Menorca the traditional fishing boats
are Llaüts, which today are also used for pleasure. These old wooden rigs
are restored and maintained, but Ramon sees more of a future in resin hulls,
even if sentimentally he prefers wood. A resin boat costs much
less than a wooden boat, it requires regular maintenance and
wood is less durable than fiber. The owner of a fiberglass boat
has much less to worry about. During the September holidays, several
regattas take place in the port with old riggings that are part of the
lateen sail family. It’s more about the pleasure of meeting up and sailing
together than a real competition. Because it is the easternmost, Es Castells
is the first place in Spain to be touched by the rays of the rising sun.
Formerly Georgetown during the English occupation, its port Cales Fonts houses a
beautiful collection of old Llaüts. Little by little, the old fishing huts are
giving way to restaurants. Menorca alone brings together most of the
megalithic monuments, such as here in Xarxa, from the Talayotic period, a culture
that flourished between 2000 and 1000 BC. Going further south towards Alcaufar the
coast is divided into small protected bays. Some former residences of notables – like here in Alcaufar – have been
transformed into guest houses. Es Migjorn is one of those
inland villages where time seems to have stood still . The streets and houses have
retained their impeccable shine. At the foot of Monte Toro, Es Mercadal is
considered the center of the island. It is surrounded by fields and farms and since
the conquest of the island in 1287 by King Alfonso of Aragon, it is this agricultural activity
that has contributed to the expansion of the town. We are at Ca n´Aguedet, one of the
traditional restaurants on the island. At 85 years old, Agueda is known for having mastered the recipe for
mayonnaise. which would have been created in Menorca. There are French people who came to Menorca and
a woman from here prepared food for them. She did n’t know what to do for them and she prepared
mayonnaise. They really liked it, it was so good. Then when they returned to
France, they made the same recipe, but they didn’t succeed. No, mayonnaise
isn’t French, it comes from Mahon. Before arriving in Ciutadella on the
west coast, the Mares quarries are a charming place saved from abandonment by
Lithica, a cultural association. Mares is a permeable limestone rock with a color
ranging from white to golden beige and which has been used for much of the construction on the island
of Menorca. The oldest quarries are more than two centuries old, and the most
recent ones only closed in 1994 and still bear the marks of the circular saws
used to cut the limestone blocks. Stripped of its status as capital in the
18th century during the British occupation, Ciutadella remained the
spiritual centre of the island. The Convent of San Agustí houses an
archaeological museum with pieces dating from the Talaiot period and also
masterpieces, such as this chapel with remarkable paintings and its
organ currently being restored; There has always been a certain
rivalry between Maó and Ciutadella and the Menorcan aristocracy continued to
live in this town rich in beautiful mansions even though it
was no longer the capital of the island. The port is very long, its widest part does not exceed 500m and still shelters
a good fleet of fishing boats. Still on the west coast, going down towards
the south, the rocks turn red and all the legendary calm of the island
resurfaces in these numerous bays. Following the coast towards the south, the island is
cut out in a more spectacular way with small cliffs interspersed with
coves easily accessible by sea but some of which require a
bit of walking if you arrive by land. This less easy access, combined with a
rigorous environmental policy, has made it possible to preserve on this
part of the coast a succession of coves and bays, each more
beautiful than the last. While Macarella remains the best known,
Cala en Turqueta, Talaier beach, and Son Saura beach also deserve
attention and we can only hope that they will retain
their authenticity for a long time to come. In 1993 UNESCO declared Menorca a
Biosphere Reserve, meaning a place where biodiversity, given its
richness, must be preserved and protected. The S’Albufera des Grau Park in the east of
the island is one of the visible parts with entire hectares remaining wild and
accessible only on foot. The S’Albufera Park was
the starting point for the protection of this coast in the 1970s, which led to its becoming a
Biosphere Reserve in 1993. Over 70 hectares of freshwater lagoon
combined with wetlands providing a paradise for both
marine life and birds. Going north, Fornells
is an ancient port surrounded by the remains of fortifications that served as
defense against Turkish and Arab attacks. In summer, it is now the yachts that come to
anchor among the fishing boats whose activity allows them to supply
the restaurants with fresh fish. In Menorca, Maó cheese is more
than a specialty. It is a heritage that goes back to the depths of
time. It is made with freshly milked raw milk. The curd
is pressed to remove the whey. It is then placed under a press which will
give it its characteristic shape, to then age quietly in a well-
ventilated room. It can be eaten fresh or dried. Along the north coast towards the west there
are coves and beaches which are well worth the few dozen
minutes of walking to reach them. The beach of Binimel-là and just behind, that of Cala Pregonda offer
a palette of unexpected colors. Towards Cape Cavalleria, a
still wild Minorca is revealed. Here we once again experience the charm of this island which, like
its horses, has managed to retain all its character. After the Greeks, the Phoenicians and the Romans, the last major invasion of the island
of Ibiza dates back to the 1960s with the Hippies who discovered the island and in the space of
a few years made it a party paradise. Although Ibiza is still a must-see
when it comes to fashion and trends, we must not forget that the island
offers many other attractions. At the top of the old quarter of Eivissa, the
capital, Dalt Vila overlooks the port and its surroundings. It is one of the
best-preserved medieval cities in Europe. The Phoenicians were already present on the island
2600 years ago. Today this upper part of the city was classified as a
World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1999. Reinforced by fortifications under Emperor Charles V,
it once guarded the entrance to the bay. In this space the atmosphere contrasts
with the hubbub of the modern city. The Puget Museum is one of the most beautiful
Gothic palaces in Ibiza, with arcades and circular shapes, the whole has
been perfectly restored. Great families have succeeded one another and today the
museum houses works by local painters. The Cathedral of Santa Maria de las Nieves
has undergone several changes, initially in Catalan Gothic style
and ending in Baroque style in the 18th century. The Dalt Vila gate opens onto the Marina,
a bohemian district where many shops and cafes recall
the libertarian spirit of the 1960s. Leaving the city for the south of the island, you
quickly find yourself in a natural park occupied by the Salines, a true paradise for
migratory birds and pink flamingos. Renowned since antiquity, Ibizan salt
was an important economic issue until the 17th century . King Felipe V had also
confiscated the salt mines as part of the conquest. Today, the artist Pedro Hormigo pays homage through his work to the value
of salt and its hard work. The surrounding area of ​​Les Salines has
benefited from the park with limited real estate pressure. A little further on the beach of Es
Cavallet, it is the idleness which takes back its rights with always this
very special touch in the arrangement of the places which immediately makes you
feel that you are in Ibiza In Ibiza we skillfully transform places of character like this
old chapel into a restaurant Further south, the beach of Comte does not
need any transformation as its crystal clear water and its natural decor
largely justify its reputation Jewels of the heritage of the island,
the fortified church of Saint Joseph of Talaia offers the visitor an
original architectural style. A great specialty of the island,
Adlib clothing is synonymous with freedom. The stylist Charo Ruiz perpetuates this know-how that
the hippies loved so much. The clothes I design are not
typical, they are original creations, they are white with dots and
lace that are very personalized. The Adlib style goes through fashions and remains
a solid reference of the personality of Ibiza. The island loves to play on contrasts,
whether natural with these splendid cliffs which continue towards the Cap des Falcó or
heritage like the splendidly preserved village of Sant Joan de Labritja which was
adopted by the Hippies in the 60s. The surrounding beaches were invaded on
full moon nights for concerts of giant drums. The beaches also bring a
touch of originality typically Ibizan, like that of Figueral
bordered by unique ochre and golden rocks, or that of Aigües
Blanques in its extension. Leaving the coast towards the south we
head towards Sant Carles de Peralta, a region teeming with fincas,
these old farms saved from abandonment and ruin by
enlightened amateurs in search of calm and bohemianism. Some of them have been converted
into hotels, such as Can Curreu. Hippies remain one of the strong points of reference
on the island and some have not abandoned the peace and love attitude. So,
at the hippie market in Las Dalias, survivors of the 70s rub shoulders with younger
converts to crafts and the flower power style. On the east coast in Santa Eulària des Riu we
find the influence of different cultures, first Muslim and then
Portuguese, and we can especially hear the typical
Portuguese hiss in the local dialect. From afar at the top of Puig de Missa, the church has the appearance of a real
stronghold capable of defending the entire summit. The closer you get to the center of the island, the
more you perceive the deep roots of Ibiza, like in San Mateu, some see it as
a lost corner, others a privileged place. A little further on is Santa Gertrudis where you
can find another synthesis of the Ibizan spirit, at the Costa bar, an establishment
that artists loved to frequent. The boss traded works of art for
meals or long, drunken evenings. Customer donations sit alongside
tasty hams on the wall, and this diverse mix, both in the themes of the paintings and
in the plates, combines happily. Being able to admire the architectural jewels
of the island is worth it, as for this church of Balàfia which must be found in the very center of
the island, in other words away from all the hustle and bustle.

Likewise this old farm, Can
Pere Musson, which for protection combined “defensive” parts with
more utilitarian parts to finally end up with an
original and harmonious architectural ensemble. The bay of San Miguel illustrates all
the contrasts of Ibiza with on one side unspoiled nature and on the other this small
piece of land in the middle of the bay which was sold for such extravagant sums that it
would have become the most expensive island in the world. One thing that hasn’t changed on
the island for centuries is the worship of the sun, although the current fashion
accompanies it with music and cocktails. An evening that will continue in the
island’s legendary nightclubs. If the mountains of Ibiza do not reach
peaks, the reliefs around Sa Talia nevertheless constitute a refreshing
escape into the forests and the countryside. It is in this setting that
artists like Julia Ribas flourish, a painter attached to her roots and who draws
all her inspiration from her island. I use the same natural materials that are
used to build the houses that I believe best capture
the character of island life. In Ibiza there are also places whose names are passed on
in the greatest secrecy to preserve their exclusivity and tranquility. Cala
Moli beach is one of them, and we can understand why. Cala Tarida is less discreet, it is
one of the largest beaches on the island, which is nonetheless beautiful with all the
features of the beaches on the west coast, white sand and water that one dreams of. Let us not forget the inhabitants who are
the soul of the island, generous and welcoming like Guasch Montero who at 92 years old continues
to cultivate his garden with relish. We have always worked in the fields
and vegetable gardens. During the fruit season we picked the fruit, during the
corn season we got up earlier, we picked the corn cobs to feed
the pigs. When it was corn harvest time, the men would leave early for
the fields, and around 8 o’clock in the morning I had to take them the breakfast
I had prepared, that was how Ibiza is an island that gives off a magnetism that
some people happily capture, to meditate or regenerate. An ideal place for practicing
yoga, popularized on the island in the 70s. The Greeks grouped Ibiza,
Formentera and a few small islets under the name of the
Pitiusas archipelago, the pine islands. The links between the two islands are close, the boat
from Ibiza is still today the only way to access Formentera, which is also what
protects it from the excessive hustle and bustle of the modern world. The appearance of Formentera, however, has
little in common with its Balearic sisters . The relief is largely flat, with
a few cliffs along the coast and above all there is this long lagoon which
completely disorients the traveler arriving from Ibiza. The Parc de Llevant offers an alternation of bays and beaches, each
one more surprising than the last. The island takes great care to control
its ecological footprint on a daily basis. The beaches of Illetes and Llevant
border this strip of sand, and you choose your side depending on the
breeze. It’s hard to imagine yourself in Spain. At the tip of Es Trucadors, the
beaches offer, depending on the winds and currents, invigorating waves
or, on the contrary, a calm sea, a true invitation to serenity.
There is something for everyone. The island’s main port, La Savina, is
the starting point for unexpected dives, as it is true that the Mediterranean does not
necessarily have a reputation for spectacular seabeds. A nature reserve protected by UNESCO
stretches from the coasts of Ibiza to Formentera, home to fields of Posidonia, a plant that plays a major role in
protecting the coasts against erosion. The spectacle on the reefs around the island
is enchanting; in fact, these seabeds serve as a
backdrop for an underwater photography competition every year. The cliffs bordering the tip of Sa
Pedrera were once used as a quarry for the construction of the island’s houses.
Roman remains have also been found there 10 41 50 Formentera lives to the rhythm of
nature, the sunsets over the lagoons of Estany d’es Peix, even if they
are part of everyday life, also deserve to be lingered over with a drink,
to enjoy these magical moments. Sant Francesc is the island’s capital, an
administrative center that brings together the island’s few historical monuments, such as
the imposing fortified church in Constitution Square . The inhabitants took refuge there
when pirates came to plunder the island. Formentera has had a turbulent past, long
disputed between the Moors and the Normans. After the Catalan conquest in 1235 and given the lack
of an easily protected site, the Christians did not settle there, leaving the pirates to
use it as a supply base. Fishing remains a major activity on
the island and not just a tradition. At La Savina, when the big units are not leaving
, we take the opportunity to repair the nets. The fishermen who left before
sunrise gradually return to the port, with beautiful pieces in the hold. The crates are full, including
a Xerna, a grouper, weighing around 15 kilos. For centuries, the only way
to preserve fish was salting. After being immersed
for 48 hours in a brine bath, the fish are then laid out to
dry in full sun for 3 to 4 days. With these fish, the chef of Pequeña Isla
offers us a tasty salad recipe. Fish previously dried on
the tree must first be sliced ​​into pieces and filaments after being grilled. It is then added to a
mixture of onions, tomatoes and
bread croutons, served warm it is a treat. Formentera is home to a number of
unique beaches, each with waters more turquoise than the last. Cala
Saona is one of the most famous, with all the ingredients of a dream beach that
one would expect to find in the tropics. Cape Barbaria marks the
southern tip of the entire Balearic archipelago. If the lizard is a common animal
in the Balearics, the blue lizard is characteristic of Formentera, which has
made it one of its symbols. Continuing east,
Migjorn Beach stretches for more than 5 kilometers; alternating small coves with
long stretches of white sand. It is the northernmost point of the Balearic Islands. In the centre of Formentera,
fig trees are an essential element of the decor. In order to protect
the fruit during windy periods, the tree is supported and stretched across
its entire width like a natural marquee The fields are surrounded by
stone walls and, in the shade of the olive trees, the shepherds barely need
to watch their sheep It is in this setting that Aron
finds his raw material: immense olive tree stumps
that he will patiently transform I have no particular source of inspiration,
every day I live differently, every day things happen, today you are here
and tomorrow it will be other people, it is the wood that guides the sculpture, you
have to look for what is inside On the northwest coast, Es Caló is
a small fishing enclave, the boats are pulled out to dry every evening. Here we meet regularly to
revive customs and traditions. The women’s costumes require
more than an hour of preparation. The Ball Pagés is a dance of seduction,
it was practiced by peasants, the man performs a rather physical performance. From the heights of the path of Sa Pujada we can
clearly see this isthmus which constitutes the middle of the island. On the north side the view is sumptuous. This nature certainly inspires artists,
Enrique Majoral works with great freedom with different materials to transcribe
all the emotions that the island arouses in him. My inspiration comes of course mainly
from Formentera, many of these pieces are related to Formentera, some
resemble what is in the sea others to the vegetation and
fruits and also to the lifestyle The mill of La Mola dates from 1778 it has
not only been restored but all its components work as on the first day. The lighthouse of La Mola, which inspired
Jules Verne, is also still in operation and remains very useful for the sailing
boats that navigate in the surrounding area. The village of La Mola also has its
Hippie market with some nostalgic people and younger people who have adapted to the taste of the
day a craft of jewelry that is always sought after. La Fonda Pepe is an institution
in Formentera where at night you meet several generations of lovers
of the island who have come to settle here. The talkative owner rings the bell to acknowledge
the tip left by a customer at the bar. This concludes our journey to
the captivating Formentera, which leaves no traveler indifferent, an invitation
to return like its Balearic sisters.
