EL PLA DE CORONA. Agricultural Ibiza

EL PLA DE CORONA

Agricultural Ibiza

  • Tours
  • Description of the route
Just like the Romans in Asterix’s Gaul, the new economic order still has a place to conquer Ibiza. Namely, El Pla de Corona, possibly the richest extension of farmland on all of Ibiza and Formentera where even today agriculture is an economic activity that halts the encroachment of the forest and the urbanised occupation of the land. Swiss writer Jean Willi, who has lived in Santa Agnès since the 1970s, has no doubt: paradise lies between Sant Antoni and Sant Joan, that is, right in El Pla de Corona.

If you take this route at the right time – towards the end of January or early February – the spectacle is sublime: the almond blossoms illuminate the plain in a striking, lovely way. The peace and quiet of the route through El Pla de Corona has a rugged counterpoint: the coastal stretch between Cap Negret and Punta des Castellar, presided over by Ses Illes Margalides islets.

  • Recommendations

It is best to avoid the heat of summer, which is also when the fields are the least striking. The best time to take this route is on the uncertain days of January and February, when the almond blossoms light up El Pla de Corona.

To see the llentiera borda (wild mastic) in bloom, try to go between February and April.

This route is appropriate for anyone willing and able to walk a little over eight kilometres on a virtually flat route, much of which is asphalted. If you are willing to forgo visits down to Es Corrals d'en Guillem and Ses Balandres, the entire route can be done in a vehicle.

Traditional cuisine. This is a zone with a high density of restaurants featuring traditional cuisine, where you can savour dishes like the ensalada pagesa (peasant salad), sofrit (a traditional stew) and arròs de matances (rice with game).

Sunset in Sant Antoni. There are some spots by the sea in Sant Antoni where the guests listen to chill-out music as they applaud the sunset. This special atmosphere is worth witnessing once in your lifetime.
