Special and captivating geography, a mild climate and Mediterranean plants that combine dunes with pine and juniper tree forests, conifers that give the island character. 

However, the thing that will undoubtedly attract any anxious holiday makers is the way the people on the island have adapted to the island’s nature: the stone walls, the magnificent traditional architecture and fig trees that have become sculptures in the middle of the island’s fields. These examples are all photographed repeatedly. 

Formentera gets its character from the different species of birds, reptiles and beetles that live on the island and also the variety of aquatic fauna that can be found in its wetlands and mountain streams. 

These groups stand out for their overall importance and due to being endemic species, as occurs with different groups of invertebrates. 

Currently, the wild plants of Formentera are marked by the predominance of pine and juniper trees (P. halepensis and J. Phoenicea) in succession and conservation habitats, accompanied by different varieties of shrubs, depending on the local microclimate and soil conditions.
