Formentera is the smallest and southernmost island of the Illes Pitiüses group, which includes Eivissa = Ibiza and Formentera, and belongs to the Balearic Islands autonomous community.
It is 19 kilometres long and is located approximately 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Ibiza in the Mediterranean Sea

Formentera comprises one municipality, also called Formentera, and has a population of 7,461 (2002). It is part of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands, belonging currently to the kingdom of Spain.

Formentera was reachable by ship only from Eivissa and this made it the quietest of both islands but in recent years, regular lines from the Spanish peninsula, have increased the amount of tourism.

Formentera is best known for the fact that natural sunbathing is allowed on most of its beaches.
