Es Calo is an old fishing port and Es Pujols is the modern mecca of resort entertainment. In this article we look at these contrasting Formentera locations. Whilst La Savina is the port these days it used to be Es Calo that was the main point of transportation for sandstone, charcoal and wood. People living in Pilar de La Mola found the location very handy as Es Calo is at the foot of Cami Roma. Today there are also some good fish restaurants in the village, which is to be expected given its heritage.

The beach at Es Calo is on the northern coastline which means it gets windy in the afternoons and is rocky. However, it is well worth visiting in the mornings and the neighboring beach of Ses Plagetes is small but stunning. The rocks attract a l lot of interesting fish so it is one of the best places to enjoy snorkeling.
Some of the best views of the cliffs of La Mola can be found from the beach of Ses Plagetes. Furthermore, the dunes of Ses Plagets do a great job of protecting you from the wind.
Whilst Es Calo retains the charm of an old fishing port, Es Pujols has gone head first into becoming a mecca for tourists who love water sports. It has two white sand crescents and clear blue waters as far as the eye can see. There are islets that can be reached by walking or a gentle swim, and the disabled have access too. It is a beach with something for everyone.
No holiday resort would be complete without a good range of souvenirs to buy, and Es Pujols has a ton of market stalls along Passeig des Plameres (the high street) and Passeig des Plameres (the promenade along the beach. You will note that some of the sellers are aging hippies that stayed on after the 1960s.
Another thing about Es Pujols is that it has tons of accommodation to choose from – the most on the island in fact. It is also the only place that has nightclubs that party on through to the early hours. I suggest that you take in club Xueno
