Es Vedrà, Limestone islet in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain.
Es Vedrà rises 413 meters from the Mediterranean Sea, forming a massive limestone formation off the southwestern coast of Ibiza.
In 1855, Carmelite friar Francis Palau y Quer lived on the island during his exile from Catalonia, surviving on collected rainwater.
The traditional tale of Es Gegant des Vedrà narrates the story of two brothers gathering rock samphire while confronting a giant on the island.
Visitors can observe Es Vedrà from Cala d'Hort beach or take boat trips around the protected nature reserve, though landing on the islet remains prohibited.
A subspecies of the Ibizan wall lizard has evolved exclusively on Es Vedrà, adapting to the specific conditions of this limestone environment.
