La Savina to Es Pujols and back

Green route 2 links La Savina and Es Pujols without the road through Sant Francesc. From the port it goes round Estany Pudent, the island's large saltwater lagoon, and Sant Francesc Xavier is only a detour off it.

Right at the start of the Camí des Brolls, on the edge of La Savina, you see the Salines d'en Ferrer, part of the salt works that were Formentera's only industry before tourism. The salt pans turn pink and violet in summer and are closed to visitors. The path, named after its underground freshwater springs, follows much of the shore, and in winter flamingos, grey herons and ducks are a common sight.

At Es Pujols, where you can still see the fishermen's boathouses, turn round and come back the same way, on foot or by bike.
