From the port of La Savina the route circles Estany Pudent, the island's large saltwater lagoon, past salt pans that turn pink and violet, above all in summer. Salt was Formentera's only industry before tourism, and the pans are now part of its heritage. Much of the shore follows the Es Brolls path, named after its underground freshwater springs, where reeds grow beside salt-loving plants and birds nest. In winter you often see flamingos, grey herons and ducks.

The route is a loop, with side paths to Sant Francesc Xavier, the main town, and to Es Pujols on the coast.
