Es Caló: Formentera’s Maritime Heritage
Es Caló is a quaint fishing village where tradition meets natural beauty. Once the island’s main port before La Savina’s development, this picturesque harbor has roots tracing back to Roman times when it was a center for exporting goods such as figs. The village also played a vital role for monks from La Mola, who would anchor here before trekking up the ancient Cami Roma path to their monastery.
Sun rise from the Es Calo prespective still remains one of the best and absolute favouirite in the island of Formentera.
The rustic boat sheds, weathered nets, and fish drying in the sun are a testament to its enduring maritime heritage.
Today Es Caló is renowned for its exceptional seafood restaurants, particularly Pascual and Can Rafalet, which offer the freshest most celebrated cuisine on the island.
