Music & Fiestas
It is possible to enjoy many forms of music on Formentera, either provided by local musicians or by visiting groups and bands.
Concerts are held throughout the year and music plays a large part in celebrating the many fiestas. In the summer it is possible to enjoy flamenco, classical guitar and piano, choirs, rock and blues, Catalan folk music and jazz.

The atmosphere generated in the village squares by this unique blend of music, dancing and tradition is a magical experience.

Walking & Running
The island offers good conditions for walking or running along coastal and country tracks or paths. There are some lovely routes on the old Roman road climbing up to La Mola from Es Calo, or easier terrain beside the beaches or through the pine groves which cover a large part of the island.

Formentera offers the opportunity to discover solitary coves, explore hidden caves and stroll along ancient paths leading to windmills and watch towers.

Painting & Photography
The island provides a challenge for artists and photographers to try to capture some aspect of the landscape - the fig and pine trees, fields, plants, or a rustic farmhouse. The colours and light are brilliant, defying reproduction, but inspire the effort of attempting to do so.

I am delighted to say that we now have a superb collection of oil paintings, water colours and photographs displaying many aspects of Formentera, gracing the walls of our office, sent to us by talented guests.
