OVERVIEW

Explore a charming inland village before traveling to Ibiza’s northern coast for a delectable lunch of bullit de peix. Despite its rather petite size in the island’s interior, Santa Gertrudis has a surprising international flair to go along with its bohemian ambiance. It’s a wonderful combination as you will discover while meandering about the village. The village of Port do Sant Miguel is also small and atmospheric but it reflects a strong fishing heritage. Seafood is on every menu, especially bullit de peix, a fish stew that is so popular it has become synonymous with the village. You will enjoy this classic dish at a waterfront restaurant overlooking the beach. Although bullit de peix translates to “boiled fish” in Catalan, it isn’t as bland as it sounds. Besides ingredients such as spicy red peppers, the dish is slathered with a garlic-and-oil allioli paste to bring out the flavor. You are sure to find it absolutely delicious.
