The island has 32 multi-purpose circuits that can be traveled on foot or by bicycle. These 32 green routes are interlocking paths that add up to more than 100 kilometers, accessing imperceptible places from the road that allow to appreciate the island from another angle and most of them accessible by bicycle.
The importance of oceanic posidonia
Posidonia oceanica is an aquatic plant, from the Mediterranean, responsible for the underwater biodiversity of Formentera and the clarity of its waters.
Unesco declared the island’s posidonia meadows a World Heritage Site in 1999. Its presence allows many marine species to establish their home in the waters of Formentera and has a similar function to that of a reef that protects the coast from inclement weather.
Illetes, one of the best beaches in the world
