4. Punta Grossa Lighthouse 

Just a few kilometres from Es Figueral, if you head north, you’ll find a lighthouse 55 metres above sea level Follow signs for Punta Grossa or Cap des Llamp, to the end of a path that you can only cover on foot.

Also in the northeast of Ibiza, you’ll find one of the most characteristic elements of the island’s defence system, thanks to the Spanish Crown of the 18th century.

In the heart of Puig de Missa there’s a museum dedicated to the great painter whose works show his admiration for the island. Laureà Barrau i Buñol from Barcelona, after standing out in the world of painting with a prolific career, moved to Ibiza at the age of 48, where he lived out his life.

Painting was his way of capturing the landscape and customs of the time, and today we are lucky enough to gaze on realistic depictions of life years ago.

Ibiza is covered in hiking routes, for all levels of fitness. One well-known circular route leaves from Es Figueral, passes through Cala Boix and goes to Sant Carles de Peralta. The full circuit is 12 kilometres long and can be done well in just over three hours. Did you pack your walking shoes?
