Lets visit Sant Josep
Sant Josep
San Josep (Sant Josep de Sa Talaia) is the largest municipality of Ibiza and is located on and between the hills in the southwest of the island. The municipality has over 20,000 inhabitants, spread over five villages,which makes it a very pleasant village.You can really relax in this authentic village. It owes its name to Sa Talaia, the highest mountain in Ibiza. At the highest point the mountain is 475 meters and from here you have a beautiful view.
In the municipality you will find five villages. These are San Josep, Sant Jordi de ses Salines, Es Cubells, Sant Francesc de s'Estany and Sant Agusté des Vedrà.
I love the village. It's small, cozy, and has a few good little restaurants and shops. Many beautiful houses are located in the area. The village is old. Actually created by the church, so that the population grew strongly in the 17th century.The Parish Church is a nice church to visit if you want to do something more cultural. The Church of Sant Josep has been declared one of the emblematic buildings of the religious architecture of the Pityusen. It has been awarded the name “cathedral of rural Ibiza.
Every village and town in Ibiza is marked with a traditional parish church at the centre, however, the San Josep Churech is somewhat unique when compared to other villages. The whitewashed building is of an exceptional height with a façade next to the belfry bell tower, a wide portico, a sundial, three frontal arches, and a large separate entrance to the rectory.The church is a regular tourist attraction for those cultured visitors on the island due to its magnificent interior design and artworks.
