San Lorenzo, in San Juan, preserves the magic of the less exploited Ibiza. Visit the Church, the town of Balàfia and eat in one of its famous restaurants

This beautiful enclave, located to the northeast of Ibiza, still preserves the attractiveness of the inland areas of the island, as well as a sample of the most representative typical Ibizan architecture. As soon as you arrive at this place, you will understand that it is part of that ‘other Ibiza’ that is talked about so much, that of traditions and tranquility, that of excessive charm.

In the center of the town you will only find its beautiful church, which was built in 1785 following the lines of the rest of the typical parishes on the island.

Nearby you can see the ‘Font de Balàfia’ old town of Balàfia, a few meters from the center. It is made up of five country houses and two defense towers that were once used to protect themselves from attacks by Turkish pirates.

Around San Lorenzo you can enjoy a good number of restaurants specialized in Ibizan food. It probably has some of the best and best known by both residents and tourists who return to their tables year after year.

San Lorenzo, en San Juan, conserva la magia de la Ibiza menos explotada. Visita su Iglesia, el poblado de Balàfia y come en alguno de sus famosos restaurantes

Este hermoso enclave, situado al noreste de Ibiza, conserva aún el atractivo de las zonas de interior de la isla, así como una muestra de la arquitectura típica ibicenca de lo más representativa. Nada más llegar a este lugar comprenderás que forma parte de esa ‘otra Ibiza’ de la que tanto se habla, la de las tradiciones y la tranquilidad, la del encanto desmedido.

En el centro encontrarás únicamente su bonita iglesia, que fue construida en 1785 siguiendo las líneas del resto de parroquias típicas de la isla.

En las inmediaciones podemos contemplar la ‘Font de Balàfia’ viejo poblado de Balàfia, a pocos metros del centro. Está formado por cinco casas payesas y dos torres de defensa que antaño se empleaban para resguardarse de los ataques de los piratas turcos.

Alrededor de San Lorenzo podrás disfrutar de un buen número de restaurantes especializados en comida ibicenca. Probablemente cuente con algunos de los mejores y más conocidos tanto por residentes como por turistas que repiten en sus mesas año tras año.

Your safety is the most important

Any mobile navigation or GPS application only shows indications on a map and these will never replace the knowledge of an experienced guide in case of finding a closed, blocked or lack of maintenance road that does not allow you to follow the map. If you encounter this type of situation, it is recommended not to follow the route and come back the way we have followed.

You must have a minimum of skill and ability to correctly configure the different functions of your own device (GPS, screen brightness, etc.)

It is highly recommended to have an external power bank full charged as an energy reserve, in case your mobile phone empties the internal battery when you activate the GPS for a long time.

Before starting any route, read and carefully review the characteristics: duration, distance, difficulty … and decide if you are qualified to do it. If you have doubts, the best decision is to choose a lower level or easier route or request the services of an expert guide.
