SAN CARLOS BAR RESTAURANTE During our trip to Ibiza in mid-March, we visited the northeast of the island and stopped by Bar Ca n'Anneta, where I bought a bottle of their famous homemade Herbes de Ca n'Anneta. Herbes de Ca n’Anneta (hierbas ibicencas - Ibizan Herbs) is the traditional herbal liqueur of Ibiza and Formentera, produced on the islands for centuries. It is typically served as a digestif after a meal. This liqueur is infused with a variety of Mediterranean herbs, wh
