Formentera Suspends Blue Zone Parking Fees in Three Towns Until March 2027, but La Savina Remains Regulated

02 November 2026

Drivers in Formentera can park for free in designated Blue Zone spaces in Sant Francesc, Sant Ferran and es Pujols during the winter season, following the suspension of regulated parking in the three localities from 1 November 2026.

The measure, introduced by the Consell Insular de Formentera, will remain in place until 31 March 2027. During these five months, drivers will not need to obtain a parking ticket in the affected areas, and the parking machines will remain out of service.

However, the change does not apply across the entire island. La Savina will continue to operate its regulated Blue Zone parking system throughout the winter, with specific hours and parking limits.

Blue Zone Parking Free in Sant Francesc, Sant Ferran and es Pujols

From November through March, the Blue Zone parking system will be inactive in three of Formentera's main towns:

  • Sant Francesc

  • Sant Ferran

  • es Pujols

Drivers can use designated Blue Zone spaces in these localities without paying for parking or obtaining a ticket.

The parking machines will remain switched off until the winter suspension ends on 31 March 2027. The regulated parking system is expected to resume in these areas when the winter period concludes.

La Savina Retains Regulated Parking During Winter

La Savina is the only locality where the Blue Zone will remain active between 1 November and 31 March.

Drivers must obtain a parking ticket during the regulated hours, which follow the winter timetable:

Day Regulated parking hours
Monday to Friday 09:00–14:00 and 16:00–20:00
Saturday 09:00–14:00
Sunday and public holidays Free

The maximum permitted parking time in standard Blue Zone spaces is 72 hours.

Designated short-stay spaces have a maximum parking limit of 30 minutes. These spaces are intended to encourage vehicle turnover and make parking more accessible for people visiting local businesses and services.

Free Parking for Formentera Residents

Residents of Formentera benefit from a 100% parking discount in the regulated Blue Zone areas.

However, in La Savina, residents must still obtain the appropriate parking ticket during operating hours, even though the parking itself is free.

The designated 30-minute short-stay spaces are also free for visitors and other users, although the required ticket must still be obtained while the parking system is operating.

Green Zone and Park-and-Ride Parking Remain Unchanged

The winter suspension applies to the Blue Zone in Sant Francesc, Sant Ferran and es Pujols. It does not mean that every regulated parking area on the island is automatically free.

In La Savina, the Green Zone and the park-and-ride car park will continue to operate under their existing conditions.

The Green Zone is reserved for authorised Formentera residents, with specific maximum parking periods depending on the resident's location and the season.

Drivers can also use electronic parking tickets to manage regulated parking without printing a paper receipt.
