The Formentera Office of Mobility is pleased to report that from tomorrow 15 June until 15 October, two streets in Es Pujols –the stretch of Avinguda Miramar extending from the Carrer Espalmador juncture to the sea, and the stretch of Carrer Punta Prima extending from Avinguda Miramar to Carrer Xaloc– will be closed to vehicle traffic between 8.00pm and 6.00am.
Motorists may drive on the two streets the remaining hours of the day, but only to load and unload goods; parking on the roads is prohibited. Rafael González, councillor of mobility, said the measure, put in place the second straight year, "is about delivering a boost to businesses in this part of Es Pujols, particularly in late afternoon and evening when things begin to get busier". "The goal is to keep vehicles outside the urban area and let pedestrians gain presence, as has already happened in other towns of Formentera", added González.
Parking
In addition to blue zone parking on the ring road, last summer two overflow lots were created on the outskirts of Es Pujols: one with spaces for 150 cars and 160 motorcycles to the southeast and another with spaces for 60 cars on the ring road. This year a new parking area with capacity for 65 motorcycles has been added on Carrer Espalmador. Parking in these three areas is free of charge.
The Formentera Office of Tourism has put out a map of Es Pujols including all of this information and made it available on their website and in Tourist Information Points. It will also be distributed to businesses in the area.
Every day, artisans at the town's summer market, El Mercat des Pujols, can load and unload material during two free 30-minute periods of parking in the lot below Plaça Europa. Vouchers are available at the parking lot office.
People with reduced mobility may park in the Plaça Europa lot at no charge. Vouchers are available at the same office.
