The lovely village of Es Cubells is a fantastic way to experience the island as it remains unmoved with the times and has less than one thousand inhabitants. At just a fifteen minute stroll away, the village’s best-known feature is its striking whitewashed church. From the church, visitors can enjoy brilliant vistas over the island before heading to one of the village’s two bars.
The quiet village hosts two festivals. One on 16th July honouring Our Lady of Carmen, a saint of the sailors. The other is centred around Spanish nun Saint Teresa of Jesus on 15th October.
When walking through the village, you will also discover a small playground and a sports centre that focuses predominantly on the village’s favourite sport, archery. Visitors love frequenting this quaint little village for its undisturbed tranquillity, providing a stark change from the more touristy places on the island.
Ibiza Cathedral is a wonderful attraction that allows you to explore more of the island’s rich history and is reachable via a 25-minute drive. The cathedral boasts beautiful Catalan Gothic and Baroque architecture that will be appreciated by those who have a love for art and history.
By embarking on a steep walk up the stairs, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views across the enchanting old town and sea. From the top, you will feel a sense of calmness and relaxation as you gaze at the residents of the town below and the boats gliding across the seas clear waters.
