San Juan
San Juan is called Sant Joan de Labritja by the locals, who are mostly Catalan. The Spanish always called it San Juan (Bautista), but in 1981, when Ibiza became an autonomous region in the Balearic Islands, the Catalans wanted their old familiar name back. Confusing all those different names, but then you know we are talking about the same town!
There is (almost) nothing like San Juan
From San Lorenzo and Santa Eularia, there is really only one road to San Vicente. Quietly drive up a little until you arrive in the village. Funnily enough, San Vicente is dominated by a centrally located church… 🙂 It is the last real town in the north of the island. With only the right not much, but a very nice beach. And to the left is San Miguel, a slightly less attractive town but an oh so beautiful setting. Above San Vicente is also the coastal town of Portinaxt, with a nice beach. Check out our beaches section, and you will see that there are more great beaches to be found.
Rest
Many are increasingly moving north in search of peace and quiet. And that can be found here! Like San Carlos, San Miguel, San Mateu and Santa Agnes, rest can be found here. And another cheap cana or espresso in one of the bars in the village. If you want to eat in beautiful surroundings, The Giri Cafe is a must. Beautiful design and good food. San Juan’s main street is fun to walk through. The calm, the flowers, and the conversations of people in bars and on the street.
There is not too much to do in San Juan. But that also makes it a cozy picturesque village.
