We meet at Ibiza Port at the ticket office and take the morning ferry across to Formentera—the smallest of the Balearic Islands. After dropping our bags at the hotel, we set off from the island’s main port and begin tracing the coastline on foot. It’s a gentle introduction to the trail, a chance to settle into the rhythm of the walk and get the first proper feel of the island. In the evening, we transfer back to the hotel to rest up for the days ahead.
