Sant Francesc

Strolling in the only urban area of ​​Formentera - Sant Francesc Walking on the streets of Sant Francesc, you will feel a refreshing and clean feeling. The gentle sea breeze blowing from afar will make you completely relaxed. It feels like Santorini in Greece. The streets are narrow and spotless under the blue sky and white clouds. The buildings on both sides are all white, just like a girl in a white dress and an olive wreath on her head. The town of Sant Francesc is located on Formentera, which is part of the Balearic Islands in Spain and is also the smallest island. It is only 11 nautical miles away from Ibiza, which is well-known for its crazy nightclubs and electronic music parties. Formentera is closer to North Africa, and the architectural style here is naturally affected. In the early years, Moroccan pirates were rampant, and the men were away from home all year round because they were fighting outside, so the walls of the houses were thicker and the windows were small. The bell on top of the chapel was salvaged from a shipwreck on the seabed. Whenever the bell rings, you can still hear the sound of the waves. There are indeed no luxury hotels here, but if you look closely, the furniture and decorations in the rooms are all ingenious. They are made by different artists, and the inspiration comes entirely from the unique natural resources of Formentera. A paradise for niche buyers The elegant and unique shops on both sides of the streets in Sant Francesc are particularly eye-catching. There are no vulgar international brands here, but some designer brands with a strong artistic atmosphere that are eye-catching.
