My favorite sunset. Formentera, Spain

I’m back from the paradise. Formentera proved, again, to be an extraordinary summer holiday spot. My days in Formentera were days lived in a slower and quieter world. The beach is astonishing as it is the relaxing atmosphere lived everywhere in the island. In my opinion, one of the best strips of sand is in the western part, at Playa Illetas, now a very well preserved National Park. In Playa des Illetas is also where it stands one of the best beachfront bars known here as chiringuitos: Big Sur. In the late afternoon, when the sun is lower and less intense, the ambience at Big Sur is remarkable. This is the Beach where to enjoy the most exclusive sunset and undoubtedly in Formentera dancing on the modern music rhythm. The Big Sur is located at the beginning of les Illetas beach, and it is one of the most popular and trendy beach bars on the island. Unfortunately, it can be so crowded that you cannot even move, and you have to queue for a cocktail. But don’t worry you still have all the beach to yourself. Since this bar is very trendy (and posh), a lot of yachts stops here at sunset time for an aperitif. Take note that Formentera is famous because of its aperitif beach bars. Big Sur is known for the quality of all successes got during time thanks to people and tendences. In fact it’s said in several magazines and newspapers, that Big Sur is one of the most successful European summer places. Numberless of most famous international D.J.s who have played here making dance many people, appreciated the marvelous sunset too! A good choice is also the Blue Bar, a chilled-out restaurant/bar on Platja Mitjorn, with a D.J. set up in the sand playing ambient reggae music, and picnic tables and lounge chairs by the water, the clientele was mostly handsome 30-something couples with children. This one is for another photo.
