Sant Agustí des Vedrà

The lands that currently correspond to the village of Sant Agustí des Vedrà belonged to the old quartó de Portmany. Structurally, a good part of this territory corresponds to the westward extension of the Portmany plain, and a good part of its long coastline is the southern half of the bay of the same name. It is understood that the relations of the inhabitants of this area are directed more towards Sant Antoni de Portmany than towards the rest of the municipality. The majority of the population also lives in the area of Cala de Bou and Port des Torrent, an extensive urban area connected to Sant Antoni.

Sant Agustí des Vedrà is a traditional village, located on a hill around the parish church, from the 18th century. It is one of the few villages on the island that has preserved its rural atmosphere very well, with farmhouses and even a refuge tower. More houses, some very old and of great ethnographic value, and more towers of refuge, as well as old wells, cisterns and abundance of dry stone constructions can be found scattered throughout the interior of this town.

On the coast there are wide beaches of great scenic and touristic value. Some have seen their surroundings urbanized, even though the beaches are still of great quality, such as Cala Tarida or Port des Torrent. Others, however, also conserve the nearby land in a very good state of conservation, as is the case of the beaches of Comte and Cala Bassa. Between the latter two there is also a coastal defense tower, that of Rovira.

It is also worth mentioning the great natural and scenic value of the group of islets called de Ponent, which includes sa Conillera (closing the bay of Portmany), the island des Bosc, s'Espartar and ses Bledes.
