Ibiza — Neighborhood Guide
Santa Eulalia del Río is Ibiza's most genteel resort town — a genuine Ibicencan community with a river, a weekly hippie market in Las Dalias, and a waterfront that has attracted a sophisticated crowd of artists and creatives since the 1960s. More relaxed and family-friendly than Ibiza Town or Sant Antoni.

The Las Dalias Saturday hippie market, the marina promenade, the church of Puig de Missa on the hilltop, the art galleries around the old centre, and the best fresh fish restaurants on the island.
