This is the alternative to the main road between Sant Francesc Xavier and Cala Saona. You leave the town heading south to the Ses Bardetes area, then turn west onto dirt tracks through family orchards, pine and juniper woods and cultivated fields. Traditional houses sit inside dry stone walls, built by hand from the stones cleared out of the fields. The walls mark out the land, shelter the crops from the wind and stop livestock from wandering off. The route ends at Cala Saona, where deep turquoise water meets red rock.
