ES PUJOLS
Es Pujols is considered the only tourist town and one of the most important on the island, it has a wide sandy area that runs 690 meters of coastline but at the same time it is a fairly intimate place where you can always meet the locals and see the same people. It may be an urban beach but it has the same beauty as the rest of the island's beaches, where they all share the turquoise and transparent water and white fine sand.
During the day, the best plan is to stroll through the tree-lined avenues accompanied by a chill pace of life with a picturesque touch. The vibes of Formentera are felt everywhere and in Es Pujols you will find endless services such as shops and fashion boutiques; a hippie market that offers clothes, jewelry and souvenirs right on the asphalt of the main street; ideal cafes to sit back and enjoy watching the world go by and, of course, all types of accommodation for every budget.
Es Pujols is located in the northern part of the island, relatively close to Illetes (one of the best beaches in Formentera). You can get there in 10 minutes from the port of ‘La Savina’ along the road that borders the ‘Estany Pudent’. The town is also connected to the town of ‘Sant Ferran’.
Tip: people are very nice and friendly and there’s always the possibility for partying. ¡Be prepared and enjoy the good times!
