Formentera is the smallest of the Balearic Islands, a tranquil sandy-beach getaway. Spanish photographer Alberto Garcia-Alix, known for his intimate portraits of fringe characters such as porn stars and drug addicts, has been visiting the Balearic Islands since 1974, and since 1981 he has been shooting pictures of the islands' denizens, visitors, landscapes and legendary leisure pursuits.
