Why go
Start at Ses Illetes, cross through Sant Francesc Xavier and Es Caló, then choose the exposed endpoints at La Mola and Cap de Barbaria. Ferry arrival and the protected-beach access system determine the order. Ses Illetes comes first when entry is practical; Sant Francesc and Es Caló break the drive, while only one lighthouse may fit before the return sailing. Cap de Barbaria and La Mola sit in opposite directions, so choosing between them protects the ferry margin.
