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.

History & Culture in Sant Carles de Peralta

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 original gathering point was Anita's Bar, where the only telephone was located, and still is located. Plus it was the main point for people in the surrounding area to come and collect their mail.

Beaches in Sant Carles de Peralta

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.
