Also, this route will take you along some of Ibiza’s most famous beaches. They are not the only ones with fishermen’s huts, but they are the most picturesque. It will be hard to resist taking a selfie or two…

What are fishermen’s huts?

Ibiza’s coast has plenty of fishermen’s huts, these resemble small sheds built in the rocks and used to shelter seamen’s instruments as well as their “llaüt”, which is the island’s traditional boat. Nowadays there are still over 1,500 units remaining and some are protected or have been declared assets of cultural interest due to their notable heritage value. This is the case of the fishermen’s huts in Cala Corral. A traditional fisherman’s hut must be built with materials from the land, such as dry stone and sabine beams, as this wood is very resistant to humidity.
