Lengths and times are the island council's official figures for each green route, added up.
The walk starts at Es Caló de Sant Agustí, the old port of the people of La Mola. Its wooden boathouses have been protected since 2002, and the winch that launched the mail boat to Ibiza is still there.
Green route 25, for walking only, climbs the Camí de sa Pujada, the way up to La Mola before the road was built. It runs along the cliffs at the north-east point of the plateau, paved in places against erosion, and documents only show it in the 18th century, when it was repaired. As you climb, the views open over the island, the Racó de sa Pujada and the Pou des Verro.
From El Pilar de la Mola, green route 29 carries on past fields and a house listed for its traditional features to Far de la Mola, in service since 1861, on the cliff edge at the island's eastern tip, with a monument to Jules Verne beside it.
