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.

It is typically served as a digestif after a meal. This liqueur is infused with a variety of Mediterranean herbs, wh

CHIRINGUITO CAN COLOMARET We took another trip from Sant Antoni to the beautiful beach at Cala Nova, located in the northern part of the island. There are several expensive, trendy restaurants situated along the long sandy beach. The stunning Hotel Bless, located at one end of the beach, features a one-Michelin-starred restaurant. We decided to go to the opposite end of the beach, to Chiringuito Can Colomaret. Please be aware that they only accept CASH, no credit or debit car

LA CHISMOSA CHIRINGUITO CALA OLIVERA We returned to Cala Olivera to visit the new beach bar, La Chismosa Chiringuito Cala Olivera, which has replaced the previous Hydrogen beach bar that, unfortunately, we did not particularly like.

It is situated on a stunning little bay that features white sands and overhanging cliffs, providing much-needed shade during the summer months. The crystal-clear water

El Bigotes will be remembered for sitting at his table every lunchtime while enjoying a flagon of his favourite red wine with his fish and rice. Sadly, he passed away in 2025 at nearly 100 years old.
