## Visit Sant Francesc Xavier

Things to do

#### The focal point of Formentera’s capital town is the old but still active church, which also has a fascinating museum with a salt-carrying locomotive.

The quaint village of Sant Francesc Xavier is the capital of Formentera Island, with its largest base of cafés, restaurants and hotels. This is a popular spot to arrange excursions to nearby coves and bays. Visit the village’s intriguing churches and museums to learn about the culture and history of the island.

Among the town’s highlights is the Ethnological Museum of Formentera. Here you can see the locomotive that once transported salt from the drying pans to the port. Study the old blades of a windmill and inspect the tools used by settlers on the island. Stroll through the town and view its landmarks, such as the town hall and post office.

Sit at a café or restaurant overlooking the main town square, the Plaça de sa Constitució. Admire the elegant design of the church, which was used as a fortress in the 1700s. Chat with the clergy to learn about how it served as a refuge for those under attack from pirates. Nearby is the Chapel of Sa Tanca Vella, which was built in the 14th century.

Heading away from the plaza are narrow pedestrian avenues lined with the whitewashed façades of shops. Enjoy the bohemian atmosphere amid the artisanal products displayed in the boutiques. Barter with vendors over local produce and handicrafts at the stalls set up here most mornings.

Stock up on supplies from the supermarkets and stores that line the streets of this village. You can purchase ingredients to create a picnic lunch to take to the beaches and cliffs of Es Pujols and La Savina.

The town is in the center of the western side of Formentera Island. Arrive at the port in La Savina and drive south for 6 minutes to reach this settlement. Visit some of the surrounding attractions, such as the Estany Pudent, the Estany des Peix and the Formentera Marina.
