The smallest of the Balearic Islands, Formentera, offers a mild mediterranean climate, natural tranquility and lots of fresh fish to its visitors. Even on the island of Formentera you can find a car hire renting cheap cars, for the island is very frequented and has a good touristic infrastructure despite its smallness. With a rental car you can conveniently reach the major places of Formentera, like Es Pujols, San Francesco Javier in the inland and the port town of La Sabina, where ferries depart for the island of Ibiza. Visitors usually arrive at the airport of Ibiza and then take a boat to reach Formentera. There are also direct ferry connections from Formentera to Barcelona.
Coming from Ibiza, once you arrive at the port of La Sabina you will easily find a discount car rental company. Formentera is quite small, its size adds up to only 85 square kilometres. | Despite the moderate distances, taking a cheap rental can be very useful if you wish to go on an excursion to the south of the island, for there is a long mountain pass leading up to the steep coast. Even though the road leading to the southernmost tip of the island, the Cap de Barberia with its medieval tower, is well drivable it is very narrow. With a rental car you can easily take a round tour of the island in a day out. Astonishingly, most of the roads here are well drivable. Nonetheless there are many challenging narrow gravel paths lined by walls which lead to the more isolated places, these should be driven carefully. At times, your Formentera rental car can also protect you from the sun or the usually constant strong wind blowing over the island. In order to protect their fields from the wind, farmers have piled up many stonewalls throughout the island. |
