The craft market of El Pilar de la Mola fills the village square, on the high plateau at the eastern end of Formentera. Founded in 1984, it keeps alive the hippy spirit of the 1960s, and it has one rule that sets it apart: everything on sale is handmade in Formentera.
What you’ll find
Ceramics, woodwork, silver, textiles, leather and jewellery, along with paintings by local artists. Live music and the bars around the square give it a festive feel.
When
On Wednesday and Sunday afternoons in summer. Check the current timetable with the Formentera tourist office before you go.
Getting there
La Mola is at the end of the main road that crosses the island from La Savina. Check the bus timetables for buses to the village.
Good to know
Combine it with the Far de la Mola lighthouse, two kilometres beyond the village, which is at its best in the late afternoon.
