The Office of Mobility of the Consell de Formentera is pleased to report that from tomorrow 10 May to 15 October, two areas in Es Pujols--the stretch of Avinguda Miramar extending from its intersection with Carrer S'Espalmador to the sea, and the stretch of Carrer Punta Prima extending from Avinguda Miramar to Carrer Xaloc--will become pedestrian-only every day from 8.00pm to 7.00am.

Cars will be allowed on the streets during all other hours of the day, but parking will not, save to load and unload goods. Rafael González, mobility councillor, said that last year the measure began on 15 June and this year we have moved forward implementation, following requests from business owners in the area after seeing the results of the first two years of this initiative. The car-free initiative began after these two streets were upgraded in 2021, and since then has been reactivated every summer with the aim, González pointed out, of "boosting business in Es Pujols, particularly in the late afternoon and evening when activity is at its highest".

Complete details are included in a map of Es Pujols that can be found at tourist information offices and on the Office of Tourism website, here.

Parking
In Es Pujols there are two free "overflow" parking areas on the outskirts of the town: a 150-car and 150-motorcycle lot to the southeast, and 60 spaces on the ring road.

Lastly, vendors at the Es Pujols market may load and unload their cars during two daily 30-minute periods of free parking in the lot under Plaça de Europa. Long-term parking passes will be available at the car park office at Plaça de Europa.

People with reduced mobility and drivers of electric vehicles may park for free at the underground Plaça de Europa car park, and parking passes can be obtained at the same office.
