Piratabus

Formentera


A sun-bleached little beach shack that's something of a low-key Formentera legend, Piratabus is perfect for sipping a mojito (€10) and demolishing a few tapas (tortilla, nachos, potato salad; €5) or a bocadillo (filled roll) while drinking in the sensational coastal panoramas.
