Sant Carles district is full of almonds, fig trees and carob trees, in a rural setting sprinkled with lovely farmhouses, luminous fields and a coastline which boasts bays and coves with crystal-clear water. In addition, the area of Sant Carles has launched an intense cultural activity, because many intellectuals chose to settle here in the 1950s. Since then, concerts, exhibitions and a cosmopolitan atmosphere, all revolving around one particular bar, Anita’s (Ca n’Anneta), have enhanced the life of this municipality. Don’t forget to go in and try their well-known spirit called Hierbas Ibicencas.
JIn the village you can also see one of the beautiful island churches, constructed in 1785, rectangular in outline, a wide porch with rows of columns and with an unusual bell tower towards the left end of the building. It is surrounded with gardens in which there is a traditional well. On the outskirts, heading to Santa Eulària, there is the popular street market Las Dalias, which is surely the most extravagant in the island.
