One of Ibiza’s best-preserved traditional villages
Without a doubt, this village, which belongs to the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, is one of the finest examples of a traditional Ibizan settlement. Perched atop a hill, it lies alongside the road linking Sant Antoni with Sant Josep, just waiting for you to include it in your itinerary around the west of the island. Don’t miss it – enjoy a scene that looks as though it has been plucked straight from times gone by.
What to see in Sant Agustí
In this charming village, you’ll gain an insight into how Ibiza’s rural hamlets first emerged and developed, always springing up around the construction of a church. You’ll find a small complex comprising the Church of San Agustín, built in the 18th century, excellent examples of traditional farmhouses, a watchtower, dry-stone structures, ancient wells and cisterns. During the tourist season, you can dine at one of its two restaurants overlooking the church.
A tip? Combine this visit with a day at the beach in Cala Tarida, Cala Bassa or Platges de Comte.
It is also worth mentioning the great natural and scenic value of the group of islets called de Ponent, which includes sa Conillera (closing the bay of Portmany), the island des Bosc, s'Espartar and ses Bledes.
