Did you know?
Ses Boques cove is well known thanks to the only restaurant in the area : It is probably one of the best in the south of Ibiza.
It was in 1974 when Joan Ribas (Portmany) and his wife Lourdes Tur, discovered this remote place and decided to open a humble restaurant. Locals started to assist and support it. In 1987, the restaurant was rebuilt and improved.
Es Cubells’ town has a monument to the Francesc Palau, a Carmelite who at the beginning of the 18th century, stayed in Ibiza. He insisted on the construction of the Es Cubells church, became a hermit and spent long periods alone on the islet of es Vedrà where he fed on gull eggs and refreshed himself with rainwater stored in a cave in the bowels of the island.
What to see:
A beautiful forest, a small stony cove, blue sea and blue skyline.
What to do:
Have a perfect day away from the hustle and bustle of the city on this side of the island. Have a fresh tinto de verano, summer and paella.

Where to eat:
Ses Boques
