Formigues Islands Tickets & Tours

The Formigues Islands is an archipelago consisting of 16 small islands located three miles from the port of Palamós, Girona Province, Spain. They lie facing the beach of Calella and Cap Roig. A lighthouse is located on the island of Formiga Gran. The islands are sometimes covered by waves when the sea is rough. The name of the islands is derived from the Catalan word for “ant,” referring to their size. The depths around the Formigues vary from 9 metres deep to more than 45 metres deep. The islands consist mostly of calcareous rock, with various caves and crags filled with rich marine vegetation, especially multicolored sea fans.
