La Savina: Formentera´s port
Most likely, when you set foot on Formentera for the first time, you will do so in La Savina, its only commercial and sports port.
This is where all the passenger boats arrive from Ibiza and where, today, there are two nautical clubs for mooring pleasure boats.

S´Estany des Peix and S´Estany Pudent
The town of La Savina, Formentera, is surrounded by the sea on all sides.
The open sea that separates us from the rest of the islands but also in its inner part by two flood zones, or rather, flooded areas called S´Estany des Peix and S´Estany Pudent.
The first of them, S´Estany des Peix, is at the back of the urban center and is a large, very closed bay where a large number of boats anchor throughout the year.
Swimming is allowed and it is an ideal space for the practice of sailing sports such as windsurfing and a municipal sailing center has been installed on the north shore of S´Estany des Peix.
The second of them, S´Estany Pudent, is a huge pond located on both sides of the road that heads towards Es Pujols and borders the urban center of La Savina on its eastern side.
S´Estany Pudent is one of the ponds used for the collection of sea salt that, for many years, was the economic engine of Formentera and La Savina the port of loading of the precious product.
If you are a lover of ornithology and you are enthusiastic about Bird Watching, these two areas of La Savina are something that you cannot miss and that you should walk along its shores to see the great variety of aquatic birds that populate its waters.

La Savina, Formentera: Festivities
As a fishing village that it is, La Savina celebrates its patron saint on July 16, the day of La Virgen del Carmen.
The town and all the boats in the port dress up and dress up to go out in a maritime procession, with an image of the Virgin aboard one of the fishing boats, to the outer waters of the port and where the priest of the parish of Sant Francesc blesses all the vessels that approach the Virgin and her boat.
