Santa Eularia des Riu: Puig de Missa
Puig de Missa has served as a fortified refuge above Santa Eulària des Riu on Ibiza since the 16th century. Its whitewashed church, set on a hill above the settlement, is among the defining religious buildings of eastern Ibiza; its plain, solid walls and elevated position recall a time when island communities faced raids from the sea. Below the hill, Santa Eulària des Riu spreads around the mouth of the Riu de Santa Eulària, which meets the Mediterranean there. Low ridges, scattered homes and cultivated plots around the town give this part of the Balearic island a markedly different setting from Ibiza's more intensively developed resorts.

Santa Eulària des Riu straddles the Riu de Santa Eulària on Ibiza’s eastern coast, a position that has long focused the town around its river mouth and seafront. This seasonal watercourse is Ibiza’s only river. Above the centre, the whitewashed church of Puig de Missa crowns a hill; built in the 16th century, its defensive form recalls a time when coastal settlements faced raids from the sea. A pedestrian promenade follows the shoreline past beaches and the marina, while older lanes climb towards the church.

The Balearic Islands have served as a Mediterranean crossroads within Spain since antiquity. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera lie in the western Mediterranean, each with a distinct coast shaped by coves, headlands and clear offshore waters. Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana forms a dramatic mountainous spine and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape. Menorca preserves remarkable prehistoric talayotic monuments, while Ibiza is internationally associated with electronic music and a historic walled old town. Maritime life, Catalan-language traditions and seasonal island rhythms remain central to the archipelago’s identity.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
