La Isla Fromentera - Skippers log

La Isla Fromentera

At First I thought that Ibiza would be too much partying. We ended up anchoring of La Isla Fromentera, just south of Ibiza. At night we could see the sun set over Ibiza. What a lovely place this was. The white beaches made the place look a lot like the carribean. We had a cycle ride, along the salt pans on the island, and also enjoyed the nature reserve. At our anchorage, just north of La Salina, we sometimes had the place to ourselves, at night that is. During the day, mostly motoryachts would come in from Ibiza and anchor in the bay. The restaurants were very accomidating to boaters, and you could order your paella over the VHF, and they would deliver to your boat.We never found out how the paella was, due the the extortionate prices that went with the service. Another well appreciated feature was, that the super market was next to the beach, and only a dinghy ride away. All in all we spent 3 nights at anchor here, the longest we stayed in one spot so far. Onwards to Sardinia.

On the way out we passed the town of Ibiza. From the water it looks like any other village on the costa del sol. Sprawled with highrise buildings. I just entered a note to self on the map: “Do not anchor here”.


On the way out, very close to our anchorage, we are send of, by a lone dolphin, making a couple of jumps in the water.
