San José (Sant Josep in Catalan) is the largest municipality in Ibiza and is located in the south of the island. It includes some of the most emblematic sights of the island as well as some beautiful beaches and stunning scenery. Aside from the town of San José, the municipality includes the parishes of Sant Jordi, Sant Agustí and Es Cubells, all of them quiet picturesque villages with beautiful churches.

The charming village of San José on Sa Talaia, Ibiza’s tallest mountain is in the centre of the municipality and is dominated by an 18^th Century church. It also boasts some excellent bars and restaurants serving traditional Ibicencan cuisine, tapas and seafood as well as designer and traditional shops . This pretty whitewashed village is far removed from the world famous party hot spots that much of Ibiza is famous for and has become a popular hub among northern Europeans who have made this part of Ibiza their home.
Sa Talaia is also home to the highest woodland in the island at 475 m high and offers one of the best views in the island.

The Salines Nature park is one of the most visited nature reserves in Spain and includes the south tip of Ibiza (within the San José municipality), the north of Formentera and the islets which separate the islands. The area is dominated by salt pans and marshes, designated a Natural Reserve in 1995 and Natural Park in 2001 In former times, Ibiza was called the island of salt, and its inhabitants were even guaranteed a supply of the condiment by law. After the re-conquest of Spain by the Moors, the salt pans became one of the most important saltworks in the Mediterranean. For various centuries they belonged to the Crown, until they passed into private hands in the late 19^th Century.  Today the extraction of salt continues, using traditional methods and creating a landscape of white mountains.
The sea beds have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and make for perfect scuba-diving.

The municipality’s coastline is 80 Km long and is home to some of the most beautiful coves on the island, such as Cavallet, Cala Jondal, Cala d’Hort, Cala Carbó, Cala Vedella, Cala Tarida, and Platges de Comte, as well as remote fishermen bays, such as Porroig, es Xarco, sa Caleta, Cala Llentrisca, and Cala Corral, all of them keeping their traditional feel.
The coastline is abundant with cliffs and islets, such as Vedrà, es Vedranell, sa Conillera, s’Espartà, s’Illa des Bosc and ses Bledes, which dominate the view.

There are also important archaeological sites such as Sa Caleta’s Phoenician village founded by the first settlers in the island and a World Heritage site, as well as Ses Païses de Cala d’Hort, a Punic-Roman settlement.
