Ibiza Private Taxi
Located in a picturesque enclave, this small cove is famous for its tiny fishing port, where one of the most famous fish bars on the island is located: El Bigotes.
In this beach bar, the peix bullit with band rice is almost the only dish you can order. Of course! Cooked with firewood, like all life and with freshly caught fish.
