President Jaume Ferrer and councillors Bartomeu Escandell and Rafael González were joined by APB president Joan Gual de Torrella, the agency's director, Juan Carlos Plaza, APB's Eivissa and Formentera chair Joaquin Jiménez and other members of staff.

After the tour the officials regrouped in the local administration's plenary hall and de Torrella laid out his agency's plan to completely revamp the Port de la Savina, creating a promenade “without barriers”. The works are scheduled to begin in 2018.

The future site of the Formentera ferry landing in the Eivissa port was also a protagonist in the morning discussion. Council president Ferrer cited a September 28 meeting which APB's board of directors will use to initial the agreement to relocate the landing 200 metres from the current location.

Finally, the group visited the la Mola lighthouse following an announcement from the APB president that officials at the same board meeting would green-light a deal giving the Formentera government management of the town's flagship monument. Plans are in place to turn the landmark into a centre for cultural activities.
