The route runs beside the road through Can Parra, a quiet corner of rural Formentera with dry stone walls around the fields, traditional houses and small flocks kept for the family. Halfway along it crosses the road and takes the old Es Cap path, where for a while it is easy to forget the island has any tourism.

Heading south it rejoins the road and passes the prehistoric sites of the cape. Many people lived here in the Early and Middle Bronze Age: twenty sites are known, three of them excavated, signposted and open to visit. The route ends at the lighthouse and Torre des Garroveret.
