Sunsets Gastronomy Relax The night Beaches More than beaches
Beyond beaches, sun, and sand, the island of Formentera offers other delights that set it apart uniquely:
Formentera boasts more than 30 green trails, many of them providing breathtaking views of its spectacular sea, adding to their uniqueness. These routes are typically of moderate length and not too challenging, making them an accessible option for families with children or those without extensive physical preparation. Choosing a hiking trail can be an excellent alternative for days when you feel like doing something different or when the weather isn't conducive to a beach outing.
In the 1960s, during Formentera's authentic hippie era, artisan markets began to emerge, attracting young people from around the world in search of freedom. These individuals crafted handmade items during the winter and showcased their creations to tourists during the summer.
Formentera's artisan markets embody a hippie heritage rooted in the island, a summer tradition, and an engaging activity for those who visit. They are located in five main areas of the island, each brimming with color, craftsmanship, and unique items. Local artists exhibit and sell products crafted in island workshops, including jewelry, textiles, glassware, ceramics, leather, and paintings, all set within a creative and positive atmosphere.
Each artisan market in Formentera has specific hours, and all take place outdoors. Please note that, in the event of rain or inclement weather, these hours may be subject to change.
