This was the old direct path between the island's two inland towns. Before leaving Sant Francesc Xavier, you can see the church, plain because it was built as a fortress as well as a place of worship when pirate raids were still remembered, the ethnography museum and the Antoni Tur Gabrielet centre, home to a farmers' market with local produce.

The route then takes the old La Mola road through farmland with fields, small flocks and traditional houses, passes the Can Teuet windmill, the oldest on Formentera, and ends in Sant Ferran de ses Roques.
