Did you know that with Rent a Car San Fernando you can rent a Mehari to visit Formentera?
Discover in this post all about this classic car that will transport you to the past.
The Citroën Mehari appeared in May 1968.
Between student revolutions and countercultural movements, in full vindication of freedom and the hippie movement, Citroën launched this light but highly versatile SUV and, above all, fun.
This vehicle surprised the public at the time by its simplicity.
It was unpretentious, presented as a useful and simple car, but more than fulfilled its functions.
Mehari: Ideal for sandy and adverse terrains
The Mehari could travel over sandy and adverse terrain, making it the ideal car for lovers of the beach and the windblown mane.
However, it was also useful for the French government, which adopted it as a military vehicle, and for the Dakar, where it was used as a medical assistance vehicle.
However, don't think that people will remember this vehicle so much for its versatility and merits, but rather for having become a symbol of freedom and fun.
When we think of the Mehari, what comes to mind is not a French military man from the '70s, but students with their bathing suits, their youthful carefree attitude and their Beach Boys tape.
We think of freedom and sea breeze.
And we think, of course, of Formentera.
The same values that have ended up being associated with the Citroën Mehari, are the values that since the '60s were installed in Formentera with the arrival of the hippie movement . Values that have become the essence of the island and, along with its stunning coastline, are its main attraction.
These shared values have made the Mehari the most emblematic car of the island, and no one who wants to experience what Formentera really means can leave without having ridden in one.
That's why, as we announced in the title of this post, Mehari means Formentera.
And you, do you want to know what it means to travel around Formentera in a Mehari?
