Description
The medieval defence tower Torre des Savinar is spectacularly located on the high southern cliffs of Ibiza. You have fantastic views over the islets of Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell, the sea and the flat island of Formentera. Es Vedra and Es Vedranella host breeding Eleonora's Falcon. In addition these rocky limestone islets support important numbers of Balearic Shearwater, Audouin's Gull, Yellow-legged Gull, European Storm Petrel and European Shag. Cory's Shearwater may also breed. Osprey is regularly seen. During migration you can see raptors like Booted Eagle passing by. A spotting scope is highly recommended. On the cliffs and the bushes directly in front of you birds like Black Redstart, Blue Rock Thrush, Crag Martin, Rock Sparrow, Pallid Swift, Alpine Swift, Sardinian Warbler and Balearic Warbler can be seen.

Access
Puig des Savinar is a 2 kilometer loop trail (see the map) that is good for bird watching and is accessible year-round. The tower is a 10-minute walk uphill from the main Es Vedrà viewpoint. During high season the parking and the first part of the trail can get very busy. In this period it is best to arrive early. Late afternoon is not really a better option because this point is also very popular for making sunset pics. Put on good walking shoes, because the path is rocky.
