About FormenturaFormentera is the smallest and southernmost island of the Illes Pitiüses group (which includes Ibiza and Formentera) and belongs to the Balearic Islands community. It is 19 kilometres long and is located of the coast of Ibiza in the Mediterranean Sea.
The island was reachable by ship only from Ibiza and this made it the quietest of both islands but in recent years regular lines from the Spanish mainland have increased the amount of tourism. It is known for its many pristine beaches and the fact that nude sunbathing is allowed on most of its beaches.
North of Formentera is the small island of Espalmador (Illa de s'Empalmador). Espalmador is separated from Formentera by a shallow sandbar, and during low tide, it is possible for one to wade between the two islands. This area is a popular stopping point for those in yachts heading between Ibiza and Formentera.
Formentera comprises one municipality, also called Formentera, and has a population of 7,461 (2002). Its land area is 83.24 km² (32.14 sq mi).
A local dialect of Catalan is spoken in Ibiza, while the official languages are Catalan and Spanish. Italian and German can be heard extensively in the summer.
