Why does this stark landscape draw so many? You are standing before Far des cap de Barbaria, a beacon at Formentera’s edge. Since 1971, it has stood sentinel over a terrain so bare. It seems almost lunar. The Far des cap de Barbaria itself is a testament to modern engineering. It has operated continuously since its construction, powered entirely by solar energy since 1995. This self-sufficiency means no keeper ever graced its doorstep. But don’t mistake its modernity for lack of allure. In the summer months, the final approach is yours to walk. This pilgrimage only enhances the sense of stark beauty. As you stand here, imagine the sun dipping below the horizon. This view is a powerful draw for visitors, painting the sky in breathtaking hues.
