Espalmador is so beautiful that it inspired Disney's Peter Pan, and has a striking 18th century defence tower.

Espardell is the "lesser" island, but has its own charm: it's an uninhabited island with a beautiful lighthouse, and the ruins of an unknown ancient tower, so old that one could speculate it was built before the Muslim period, contrary to what is assumed. If there are no witnesses to ask, it’s fun to speculate about the gaps left by the historians: for example, the archaeological remains of a fortified wall around Formentera, only discovered in the '60s, are unknown in history.
