The route

Signposted MTB route along the west coast of Ibiza, in the municipality of Sant Josep de sa Talaia, on dirt tracks, country lanes and short stretches of tarmac linking the coves on this side of the island. You ride through pine woods, dry-stone walls and carob fields, with the sea in view almost all the way. It's route 8 of the municipality's MTB network: follow the signs on the ground, which come before the GPX. The coves have beach bars and restaurants in season, but many close from November to March, so set off with water and something to eat. The best time is October to May; in summer it's hot from first thing and the roads to the beaches fill with cars, so start early. There are sections of loose stone: best on a mountain bike or a gravel bike with wide tyres. Respect the farms and close any gates you come across.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (MTB route 8 of the Sant Josep de sa Talaia network) (ODbL).

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride.
