This is the only route along the western side of Es Cap, and in a short distance the landscape changes completely. It starts among dry-farmed fields, most of them worked by local families for their own use, with fig trees whose branches rest on props called estalons. Found only on Formentera, they give livestock shade and make the figs easier to pick. Nearer the coast the green gives way to the reddish rock of Punta Rasa. From the cliffs you look out to Es Vedrà and Ibiza, with Cala Saona, its jetties and white sand to the right.
