[vc_row enable_hue_rotation=”no” enable_text_marquee=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]The lands that currently correspond to the village of Sant Agust\u00ed des Vedr\u00e0 belonged to the old \u2018\u2019Quart\u00f3 de Portmany\u2018\u2019. Structurally, a large part of this territory corresponds to the westward extension of the Portmany plain, and a large part of its long coastline is the southern half of the bay of the same name. This means 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 that of Sant Antoni.<\/p>\n

Sant Agust\u00ed des Vedr\u00e0 has a traditional centre, located on a hill around the 18th century parish church. 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. There are also more houses scattered throughout the interior of the village, some of them very old and of great ethnographic value, and more towers of refuge, as well as old wells, cisterns and an abundance of dry stone constructions.<\/p>\n

On the coast there are wide beaches of great scenic and tourist value. Some of them have seen their surroundings urbanised, although they are still of great quality, such as Cala Tarida or Port des Torrent. However, others also conserve the surrounding land in a very good state of conservation, as is the case of Platges de Comte and Cala Bassa. Between the latter two there is also a coastal defence tower, the Torre d’en Rovira.<\/p>\n

It is also worth mentioning the great natural and scenic value of the group of islets known as de Poniente (of the west), which includes Sa Conillera (closing the bay of Portmany), S’illa des Bosc, S’Espartar and Ses Bledes.<\/p>\n
