Climbing to the La Mola lighthouse, at the cliff edge
At the island's eastern tip, the La Mola lighthouse looks out over a 120-metre cliff, on the plateau that also holds Formentera's highest point, sa Talaiassa (192 m). Since 2019 it has been a cultural space and, since 2026, it has permanently displayed the collection Cati Verdera donated to the island: 56 works by artists linked to Formentera. Next to the lighthouse, a monolith commemorates Jules Verne, who mentioned it in “Hector Servadac”. Turismo de Formentera recommends it at sunrise or sunset.
