Sant Francesc - Es Mal Pas

The route leaves Sant Francesc Xavier on a lane that is surfaced but still feels like an old track: narrow, uneven and walled in dry stone, with traditional houses, orchards and fields. At the start and near the end you pass fig and carob trees propped up to shade livestock, a custom found only on Formentera. Just before the finish, pinewoods give shade on a hot day.

Platja de Migjorn is long enough for a quiet spot even in high season, and usually sheltered in summer, when the wind tends to come from the east. Its restaurants serve rice and fish, and residents favour this coast.
