Consell de Formentera dedicates 2023 calendar to traditional country home

Past versions of the calendars have illuminated a range of topics, such as Catalan and Romance languages, common varieties of local figs, districts of the island, traditional farming tools and nautical gear and more. "This year's calendar reviews some characteristics of a traditional Formentera home, an essential part of our heritage", said Raquel Guasch, councillor of language policy.

Each month focuses on a particular element -from the arbor and chimney to rafters and the roof- of the traditional Formentera home. It also highlights various types of roofs. Flat-roofed homes are the oldest, tile-roofed constructions are more recent. A noteworthy fact is how, starting from the porch -the most important space- the construction grows based on needs and expands with other differentiated spaces called cases.

Two-thousand calendars have been printed and are available at the Citizen Information Office (OAC) and the entrance to the head offices of the Consell de Formentera.
