Heading out north west on the main road from Ibiza to San Antonio, after 7km, lies the small village of San Rafael.
As a village it's pretty small with just a few restaurants, a church and some great views looking back over Eivissa and the bay.
It does have the only official Artisan Zone on the island as it has become famous for its roadside ceramic and pottery workshops. Although this description does make it sounds better than it looks...it's not a pretty town.
The old town around the church is lovely but rather small and the main drag doesn't give away the instant picture of an artistic village, however if you stop and search you should not be disappointed.

Apart from the ceramic and pottery studios and shops in the centre of the town, the San Rafael church is a wonderful sight. Slightly different to many of the Ibizan churches it's exterior has a touch of Moorish design about it.
