· PUNTOS DE INTERÉS: Iglesia, Muro de piedra seca, Vista panorámica, Embarcaderos, Playa

Quien conoce un poco Formentera puede certificar que uno de los lugares más especiales e incomparables de la isla es Cala en Baster. Se trata de un refugio de pescadores rodeado de elevadas paredes calizas en las que destacan los varaderos tradicionales escarbados como cuevas en el marés. Para acceder a ella con facilidad, saldremos de la población de Sant Ferran de Ses Roques, donde previamente podemos visitar su iglesia, la plaza y la mítica Fonda Pepe, centro neurálgico del ambiente hippie en los años setenta. Desde Sant Ferran nos dirigiremos hacia la costa de Tramuntana que ocupa la parte norte central de la isla y es principalmente de roca baja. Cala en Baster se encuentra al final del camino, nos sorprenderá su altura imponente, la transparencia de sus aguas y las azarosas figuras que el viento moldea en las rocas de marés, donde se ocultan los varaderos tradicionales, esta vez con aspecto de cueva. Nuestra ruta continuará hacia el sur por caminos de interior con un carácter marcadamente agrario donde apreciaremos elementos típicos del paisaje formenterés como higueras apuntaladas con “estalons”, pequeñas rebaños y huertos familiares parcelados por los característicos muros de piedra. Al final de nuestro destino nos espera Migjorn, la playa más larga de Formentera con una extensión de 5 km que, en forma de media luna, abarca todo el sur de la isla.

If you know anything about Formentera then you'll be aware that the Cala en Baster is one of the most special, unique places on the island. It is a haven for fishermen, surrounded by high limestone walls in which they have carved out their traditional cave-like shelters for their boats. The easiest way to get there is to start out from the town of Sant Ferran de Ses Roques, where you can visit the church, the square and the legendary Fonda Pepe, the heart of hippiedom the seventies. From Sant Ferran, head for the Tramuntana coast which occupies the central northern part of the island and is mainly formed by low-lying rock. Cala en Baster awaits us at the end of the road and you will be surprised by its imposing height, its crystal clear waters and the haphazard wind-carved sandstone rocks that hide the traditional dry docks with their cave-like appearance. Our trip continues southwards along inland country paths where you’ll see typical elements of the Formentera countryside, with fig trees shored up by poles, small flocks of sheep and goats and family kitchen gardens with characteristic stone walls. At the end of the road is Migjorn, the longest beach in Formentera; measuring five kilometres and with a half-moon shape, it covers the entire south of the island.

    Ideal route through the vineyards, we followed different “Rutas VerdeS” and they are quite intuitive to follow also without using the gps route. We met an old country man taking care of his figue plants. Bring a lot of water and cover your head against the sun… luckily the unresting wind helped us in the August heat
