Between Puig des Molins and Es Soto, behind Dalt Vila, is the racó de Sa Berenada. It is a place where traditionally a popular 'berenada' (snack) was held to celebrate the 8th of August, the day of the big festivities of the city of Ibiza. The idea was that everyone brought their own food and then shared it with the others as a big family. Since the 80s of the last century the tradition of making paella in this berenada for all Ibizans was imposed and over time the idea has established itself as the huge attraction of this day.

What is the secret? Its difficult access. This beach, which is located in the east of the island - between Cala Llonga and Santa Eulalia - has such a complicated access that many Ibicencos have not even heard of it. And all this despite having an extension of more than a hundred meters. If you like wild beaches, Cala Blanca will be one of your favorite places. However, we must bear in mind that the beach has been shaped as nature has wanted. Its shore is full of stones and sometimes we can find remains of posidonia ("algae" for the neophytes) dragged by the current. In addition, we find large rocks that have been separated from the cliff beneath which the beach is located. It is not easy to move freely along the shore, so people who want to play and rest will not find their ideal place here. And to all this, we must add the difficulty to reach Cala Blanca.
This small beach is located at the southern end of the base of a huge phallic monolith from which it gets its name: Es Paller d'en Camp. It is an unfrequented beach. The separation of the beach of Es Racó des Paller d'en Camp and Es Figueral are some large rocks, product of the collapses of the cliff under which this beach is hidden, and that also affected in its day to Es Paller d'en Camp, modifying its appearance. The beach is composed mainly of coarse sand, although there are also large rocks that have fallen from the walls that surround it. The beach of Es Racó des Paller d'en Camp has a not excessively complicated access, but it is not obvious. Few people walk to the northernmost end of Es Figueral and even from this point the beach is not visible. You have to walk along a path (better if you wear sports shoes) or swim about 50 meters to reach the beach. Being a sandy beach, quiet and with a low influx of bathers it is not surprising that this small corner has become an excellent nudist beach. In addition to the natural environment that surrounds the beach, from the sand you can see the islet of Tagomago on the horizon. * If you climb through the hole that can be seen under the monolith, you will access another small cove.
The farmhouse of Can Ros, with more than 300 years old. It offers a broad view of the Ibicencan culture and allows you to delve into the rural way of life of the island. At the entrance of the house, you will find two typical carts, which were used until only a few decades ago. Today they can only be seen during popular festivals, when parades are organized. Inside you will find an old kitchen, with all the usual utensils, oven, cupboards and fireplace; farming tools, an old oil mill, an introduction to the salt mines, the wine cave, an exhibition of traditional costumes, traditional jewelry, some weapons and a collection of musical instruments, among other objects. It was inaugurated in 1994.
The Puget Museum occupies Can Llaudis, one of the most beautiful palaces in Dalt Vila. Its rooms house the pictorial collection of Narcís Puget Viñas (1874-1960) and Narcís Puget Riquer (1916-1983), father and son, which the latter donated to the State. Both the father's oil paintings and the son's watercolors compose a portrait of rural Ibiza in the first half of the 20th century. Both are considered two of the best artists in the history of Ibiza and Formentera. The museum's collection includes 130 works by both painters, which allow an immersion in that unusual Ibiza discovered by the first travelers.
This is a new generation interpretation center model, which relies mainly on audiovisual technology to transmit knowledge of the history of the city and particularly everything that refers to the Islamic period and the Arab fortification. The center is located in the Cúria building, built during the 14th-15th centuries, taking advantage of structural elements of the old Arab wall. The restoration that was carried out in this space recovers the memory of the old medina. The visitor enjoys an environment of lights and images that has its maximum attraction in a large audiovisual model, where with great rigor and spectacularity shows a historical evolution of the city.
Inaugurated in 1994, the Marta Torres Gallery offers every year exhibitions of emerging artists along with other creators of national and international prestige, such as Carlos Sansegundo, María Ríos-Coello or Willie Márquez. In fact, artists such as Joan Miró, Manuel Viola, Elmyr de Hory or Miguel Barceló are part of its collection. We also find the works of the gallery's promoter, Marta Torres, an Ibizan painter who has been exhibiting her works in her own space since 1994. She has been painting professionally for more than 20 years. Before beginning her university studies in Fine Arts she liked to paint about the figure and the sea, but little by little she discovered sculpture, and began to experiment with the mixture of this discipline with painting. And from this union between sculpture and painting were born her "matter paintings", as she calls them, which have given her a unique and unmistakable style. Currently, the main theme of her works revolves around the walls, doors and windows of the country houses of Ibiza and Dalt Vila, although she is also interested in representing different places in the world. His creations take on special beauty with the representation of elements of nature very present on the island, such as almond trees, bougainvillea, the red earth of the island and the Mediterranean Sea.
Since 2000 this gallery has been located right on the pleasant boardwalk of Marina de Botafoch. The paintings on display for sale are flawless forgeries of masterpieces painted by hand in oil on canvas. All the reproductions have the approval of the museums that own the originals.
