Locals know this island as Eivissa. And there's a few more secrets they want to keep, too. Uncover real, rural and authentic Ibiza on this half-day tour. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There's a hidden side to Ibiza that you can still find in villages like Santa Gertrudis. It's a bit of gastronomic hotspot of the island, largely due to the surrounding farms, which produce some of Ibiza's best fruit and vegetables. It's also home to the island's only herd of cows.'
Kick off with a drive through the village of Es Cubells. Away from the party beaches and super-clubs, it's one of the few spots where the beauty and peace of old remain. It's not much more than a cute cluster of farms and a church with views over the sea. As you explore, keep an eye out for the famous white church of St. Augustine, a hallmark of the village. Enjoy the serene atmosphere and take in the breathtaking coastal views before it's on to an aloe vera farm for a tour.
Rosa adds, ‘In our local folklore, the island is home to sirens, sea nymphs and other mythical creatures. It's also said to have a powerful energy, and many people believe it to be a healing place.' You'll round off with free time to explore the charming village of Santa Gertrudis. Stroll through its quaint streets and discover an array of arty boutiques and galleries where you can pick up unique souvenirs. If shopping isn't your thing, simply relax at a local café and savour a cup of coffee while soaking up the laid-back vibes.
