The corners of The Gypsy Truck in Formentera

Get on the Gyspy Truck and go around the island!

Natalia Puiggròs does not stop: her tireless enthusiasm, with which she runs a communication agency (lemod, specializing in fashion and gastronomy), she led her to create in Formentera the first fashion truck in the country, The Gypsy Truck. She has also been the architect of the launch of Love Pop, artisan natural fruit popsicles and Tula's, the cookies from Ibiza that recover a traditional sweet from the Pitiusas and reinvent it as a gastronomic souvenir and, recently, she has teamed up with Guillaume Laout in the French William outdoor pajama brand.

accustomed to show her day-to-day riding between Barcelona and Formentera on social networks –always accompanied by her inseparable 'toy' poodle, Tula–, she knows better than anyone those places full of magic how well they fit with her style proposals. We have been infected by her colorful and nomadic spirit and we accompany her in her van throughout the island, that corner of the planet that she is passionate about and is her refuge, and where this summer we can find it in Super 6.4, on the road from Sant Ferran to Es Caló. Are you coming?
