La Savina to Es Pujols, round the salt lakes

From the port of La Savina, green route 2 goes round Estany Pudent, the island's large saltwater lagoon, much of the way on the Camí des Brolls, named after its underground freshwater springs. The salt pans beside it were Formentera's only industry before tourism and turn pink and violet in summer. Like everything off the marked paths, they are closed to visitors.

Between the lagoon and Es Pujols lies Ca na Costa, a megalithic tomb from about 2000 BC. From Es Pujols, green route 19, for walking only, runs up the sand spit of Es Trucadors inside the Ses Salines natural park, with Platja de Llevant on one side and Ses Illetes on the other.

The way back is green route 1 in reverse, on the Sa Guia path that the salt train took to La Savina. It runs through junipers and dunes and crosses Sa Sèquia, the channel between the lagoon and the sea.
