Sant Joan de Labritja
Sant Joan de Labritja
A small, peaceful village in the rural north of Ibiza, known for its Sunday craft market and its slow, traditional pace.
Sant Joan de Labritja, or San Juan, is a small village in the quiet north of Ibiza. It is the main village of the island's most rural area. White houses sit around an old church and a sleepy square. The pace is slow and traditional, a world away from the party resorts. It is best known for its lively Sunday market.
What Sant Joan de Labritja is known for
Sant Joan is best known for its Sunday market. Every Sunday, the village square and streets fill with stalls of crafts, jewellery and local food, with live music from midday. The 18th-century white church stands at the centre of the village. The area has long drawn artists and free spirits, and it keeps a gentle, bohemian feel. The hills and pine forests around the village are good for walking and cycling. The village is also the gateway to the wild north coast, including Benirràs, famous for its drumming circles at sunset.
