Sant Mateu d'Albarca or Sant Mateu d'Aubarca is a town and parish in the municipality of San Antonio, in Ibiza. It has 377 inhabitants as of 2009
Nestled in the northwest corner of the island, around 10 km from Santa Gertrudis, San Mateo (Sant Mateu in Catalan) stands as a quaint and scenic village, offering a glimpse into the authentic, non-touristy side of Ibiza.
The village, characterized by scattered houses, a charming church, an affordable bar within the village hall, and two restaurants boasting expansive terraces, exudes a serene ambiance. Dating back to the late 1700s, the church, featuring enclosed porches, serves as a remarkable representation of traditional construction from that period.
A scenic road encircles the valley, providing an opportunity for a leisurely walk followed by a satisfying drink or meal at one of the local restaurants. For avid hikers, a popular route leads to the sea at Cala d'Albarca, where a striking natural bridge formation stands as a captivating photo hotspot.
