High above Vedrà, the Torre des Savinar defence tower was constructed in 1763 to safeguard Ibiza's southern flank from pirate attack: it's also known (and signposted as) Torre d’en Pirata. The tower is a 10-minute walk uphill from the Cova des Mirador and boasts sweeping views directly over Vedrà and Vedranell, north to the island of Conillera, and southeast to pancake-flat Formentera.
