A vacation getaway |
Posted: January 3, 2019 |
The date was coming for my boyfriend and I to take vacations from our jobs, I did not want it to be the same as in previous years, so I decided to surprise him with a romantic getaway, I chose to visit a country and once I was there I went to some island . I opted for the island of Formentera since, according to my research, it is highly valued for its beaches with transparent waters and fine white sand and it is also a destination of absolute rest as it is the only one that can only be reached by boat from the port of Ibiza, rent a boat to travel along its coasts and thus be able to enjoy the beautiful beaches that the island has, it has an extension of 83.2 square kilometers (a length of 17 kilometers from east to west, 8 from north to south and 69 from coast ) and 8,000 inhabitants. It has a series of islets, among which stand out for their size Illa de s'Espalmador and s'Espardell, with surfaces of 1.3 and 0.5 square kilometers, respectively. One of the characteristics of the island is that it is almost flat, has a central, narrow and low area. On the other hand, the northern area of ??Formentera is identified by being very flat and sheltering 2 ponds, Estany Pudent (used throughout the Civil War of Spain as a base for seaplanes) and Estany d'es Peix, as for the low and narrow Punta de Trucadors, set of dunes that determine Platja de Illetes and Platja de Llevant from one side to the other. This earthly paradise of marine beauty has inspired artists from different disciplines, such as music or painting as they told me. Within the beaches that we visited, I will indicate the ones that most captivated me: Llevant: It`s identified as having long dimensions, a large number of rocky inlets and outcrops with fine white sand; a dune system and flora that enters its back, strong winds in summer that raise a powerful swell, which transforms the bath into a dangerous activity; a crystal clear water, as a sandstone bottom with rocky areas covered in algae. Tramuntana: This beach is two thousand meters long and thirty meters wide. As a general rule, the occupation level of the Tramuntana beach is low. Secluded beach whose composition is rocks, gravel and sand. Located in the central strip of the island, it extends between traditional fishermen's refuges, scarce the sand in the most western zone and appearing in greater amount in the zone near Ses Platgetes. Ses Illetes: It`s the best-known beach of the island of Formentera thanks to the transparent and crystalline waters that bathe it, the quality of its fine white sand with its own pinkish tone and the privileged place where find. Ses Illetes is located at the northernmost point of the island of Formentera, at the tip of Estrucadors, 4 kilometers from La Savina. It is located in the Natural Park of Las Salinas. If you bathe in the waters of Ses Illetes you think you are in a huge natural pool since its bottom of sand is shallow with a small slope where you must enter the sea about fifty meters to have a depth of about one with five meters. To the south is the coast of Migjorn, it is a very famous beach but we did not get there. Each beach has its attributes to captivate you! we had a great time on the boat!
