FORMENTERA - PILAR DE LA MOLA - PLATJA DE MIGJORN - CHIRINGUITO GITANA ( ex KIOSKO LA FRANJA)

PERMANENTLY CLOSED IN 2023?

As of July 2024, the site has been replaced by a new venue named CHIRINGUITO GITANA.

KIOSKO LA FRANJA

Jonathon Lipsin writes: This is my favourite swimming spot on the Island, situated on Platja de Migjorn, where I used to live behind the Piratabus. I enjoyed visiting La Franja, this little chiringuito, after my swim.

A chiringuito is basically a wooden shack on the beach that sells basic sandwiches, tapas, cold beer, and wine.

The people are friendly, and the service is quick. Unlike the more popular chiringuitos, like Bartolo’s and Piriatabus at the other end of Platja de Migjorn, I can usually grab a table when I want.

Here, the mother makes a tortilla & cheese omelette, like she’s been doing for some 45 years, every morning.

Her daughter, Sandra, and her husband own the place, and my friend Bernadette has known her since she was a small girl, as well as her mother and her grandmother from many years ago.

I can come out of the sea, walk a short distance with my feet in the tide and be here at La Franja in a few minutes.

I sip a cold beer and order a tortilla or their cheese omelette (which is also very good), and the world is as simple

and as well as it should be, as I relax and stare out to the open sea.

Life is good here!
