These cairns of stones can also be found on the nearby island of Ibiza, where one of the major authors of such hippy artworks lives. Maybe he was already making them when Syd visited Formentera.

Retracing the hippie roads of the seventies, one runs into many "zen" surprises. Such as the sculptures in rock: primitive totems of stones laid one over the other and unmovable. The one who creates them is a sui generis "sculptor", who keeps well away from the tourists and who lives in the scrubland far away from the modern Ibiza.
