Far d'en Pou is the lighthouse on Illa des Porcs, a small islet in es Freus, the channel between Ibiza and Formentera. It has no public access and is visible from the sea: from the boats crossing es Freus and, as a distant light, from the northern tip of Formentera.

The lighthouse

The lighthouse stands on Illa des Porcs in es Freus. The islet is so small that storms flooded the keepers' house, so a second house was built with a tunnel to the light.
