[vc_row enable_hue_rotation=”no” enable_text_marquee=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Located on the South, Sant Josep is the largest municipality in the island. On the East, it shares Platja d\u2019en Bossa (beach) with the municipality of Eivissa, and Sant Antoni\u2019s Bay on the West. Apart from Sant Josep\u2019s town, the municipality includes the parishes of Sant Jordi, Sant Agust\u00ed and es Cubells, all of them quiet picturesque villages with beautiful churches.<\/p>\n

The municipality\u2019s coastline, which is 80 Km long, offers important tourist resorts, as well as some of the most beautiful coves in the Pitiusas, such as Cavallet, Ses Salines, Cala Jondal, Cala d\u2019Hort, Cala Carb\u00f3, Cala Vedella, Cala Tarida, and Platges de Comte, or remote fishermen coves, such as Porroig, es Xarco, sa Caleta, Cala Llentrisca, and Cala Corral, all of them keeping their traditional atmosphere.
\nThe coastline is abundant with cliffs and islets, such as Vedr\u00e0, es Vedranell, sa Conillera, s\u2019Espart\u00e0, s\u2019Illa des Bosc, and ses Bledes, which dominate the view when comtemplated from the land. It is a magnificent landscape, especially the two protected areas, Ses Salines Natural Park and the nature reserve of d\u2019es Vedr\u00e0, es Vedranell and Islotes de Poniente (islets), where nature can be found at its finest.
\nThe municipality provides the visitor with very interesting routes going through areas of unspoilt nature, where you can also see defensive towers in magic enclosures, such as the Pirate Tower in Cala d\u2019Hort, the tower of d\u2019en Rovira, located in Platges de Comte, or the Carregador tower, near Ses Salines.<\/p>\n

Sa Talaia, the highest woodland in the island, 475 m high, is located in the centre of the municipality. It offers one of the best views in the island. You can visit important archaeological sites in Sant Josep, such as Sa Caleta\u2019s Phoenician village (VII B.C.), founded by the first settlers in the island and declared World Heritage, or Ses Pa\u00efses de Cala d\u2019Hort, a Punic-Roman settlement.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
