Small village with a long history of hippy settlers and beautiful markets
Continuing north from Santa Eularia along the east coast of Ibiza, is the small village of Sant Carles de Peralta. Located 22km north east of Ibiza Town, this is a perfect lunch spot if you are exploring the island.
The pretty white 18th century church dominates the scene, as the road winds around the church to take you back out of the village. There are a few restaurants here, the best perhaps is Anita's Bar where you sit outside with some tapas and watch the world pass by.
Every Saturday the Hippie markets of Las Dalias are held here.
A popular event since the 1980's, there is also a Monday evening market which is popular with tourists throughout the summer...especially those who do not make it out of bed after a long night of clubbing.
Throughout the summer there are also plenty of live music events, dance and performance events. These are widely advertised throughout the island.
The northern town of Sant Joan de Labritja celebrates its local market every Sunday throughout the year with a festive atmosphere and lots to see and buy.
The Long Night of Museums is an annual event where museums across Europe remain open late into the night, and Ibiza is no exception.
During Easter week the Ibizan streets are filled with residents paying their respects to Jesus.
Becoming a hippy haven in the 60's as many people were drawn to the beautiful surroundings of this town in the north of Ibiza, it's still very much a hippy community today.

The church in the town of San Carlos is really beautiful and well worth a visit if you're in the area. If you're driving around the island, the town is located at a junction between several roads that you will no doubt pass along at some point so make sure you look out for it.
As the road winds around it, entering and leaving San Carlos, you can't help but be drawn to a quick stop to have a wander round.
Not far from the town to the south east are several pleasant beaches including the popular Cala Llenya and the quieter and more secluded cove of Cala Mastella.
Cala Llenya is the perfect place to go after some lunch and shopping in San Carlos and can be found only 10 or minutes drive away on a direct road.
Cala Mastella on the other hand is slightly more tricky to find with very little parking.
This is a delightful little cove surrounded by fishing huts and pine trees.
Just north of the resort Es Canar is the long golden beach of Cala Nova.
This pretty beach curves around in a wide swoop offering plenty of bathing space on its white sand.
Known to locals as Aigues Blanques, it's a narrow, golden sandy beach surrounded by high cliffs.
Situated in the north east of the island, not far from San Carlos, this grey sandy beach is a favourite for fish lovers.
