Torre des Savinar
A coastal lookout tower built in 1756 to guard against pirates, nicknamed the Pirate Tower, and the best hiking viewpoint for watching the sun set over Vedra.
Torre des Savinar was built in 1756 as a coastal lookout tower to guard against pirates. Also known as the “Pirate Tower,” it stands on the cliffs directly opposite the islet of Vedra. From the parking area, it's a 20–30 minute walk along a dirt path through pine forest. The platform at the base of the tower overlooks Vedra and Vedranell, and it is the most popular sunset viewpoint on the island. Nearby, the old Sa Pedrera quarry, known as “Atlantis” for its hippie-era stone carvings, can be reached by a steep and hazardous downhill path, so it is not recommended for ordinary visitors. There are no railings at the cliff edge, so bring a headlamp for the return trip.
