Cycling to ses Illetes along the old salt route
Green route 1 sets off from the port of La Savina and follows the island's salt-making past (the salt pans, the sa Sequi channel, the Molí de Sal) between sabina trees and dunes, to Cavall d'en Borràs and ses Illetes: 3.3 km, a quarter of an hour by bike. The whole route lies within the Parc Natural de ses Salines, where pedestrians and bicycles enter free; cars and motorbikes pay in season (in 2026, from 10 May to 15 October, €5 to €7 per car depending on the fortnight) and are subject to a capacity limit. It's the way to reach the island's best-known beach without hunting for parking. Formentera has 32 signposted green routes, covering more than 100 km, many suitable for cycling.
