Green circuits by bike or on foot

Excursions by bike or on foot are an ideal way of visiting the island of Formentera and to be able to enjoy its most interesting places.

With a view to promoting these kind of excursions, the Patronat de Turisme de Formentera has edited together with the Balearic Government and the Council of Eivissa and Formentera, the guide Green Circuits with information about 19 excursions around the island, that by bike or on foot let you admire unknown scenery and keep in direct contact with nature. The guide is free and can be found at the Tourism Office and other information points.

The itineraries proposed by the guide are a maximum of three kilometres long and some of them pass through protected natural areas, such as the paths that go round S'Estany Pudent, S'Estany des Peix, or Ses Illetes that leads to the most well known beaches of Formentera via dunes, pine trees and the salt tanks of Ses Salines. Other itineraries present rural Formentera: Camí de ses Vinyes, Camí de sa Talaiassa, Camí de Cala Saona, Camí des Cap... And others, such as the ancient Roman road, that still preserves remains of the stone way in some areas, presents the ancient path to mount La Mola round the cliff and into the wood.
