Holidays here put an emphasis on traditional entertainment and education. You are more likely to spot a traditional fishing boat than a banana boat from the local beach. While it is true that a San Miguel holiday may appeal to a certain kind of holiday maker, that certain type will be in heaven in this dreamy village.

The dining scene follows this traditional theme, the restaurants and tapas bars serve truly traditional Spanish food, such as traditional meat and fish dishes. Some of the best food in Ibiza can be found in this little town, due to the chefs sticking to traditional recipes and preparation methods.
