Ibiza, in case you didnt know, is an extremely beautiful island. Quite aside from the stunning beaches, incredible parties and world class restaurants, there are lots of quaint, slipping-off-the-time track villages that have changed little for centuries.

San Juan is one of these gems. For such a tiny village, there is ample parking everywhere including 2 free, public car-parks. It is home to a couple of traditional style bars, a cool, eco-style cafe and one particularly good Ibiza restaurant, The Giri Cafe. Add a tobacconist, fishmongers, bank, bookshop, post office, hardware store and local supermarket and that, Ibiza lovers, is it.

There is a wonderful atmosphere here. Everyone seems to know one another including the friendly local dogs! I wandered happily along its pretty, cobbled streets, observing the comings and goings of its cosmopolitan community. I was charmed at the sight of three elderly Ibicenco ladies laughing with their wicker baskets full of brightly coloured fruit, sharing an evidently amusing anecdote outside the local, traditional fishmongers shop.

Jaunty street flags straddled the tree-lined main road with its ancient, whitewashed stone cottages and window-boxes stuffed gaily full of brightly coloured flowers.

After passing by San Juans imposing 18th century church, I stopped off for a local delicacy - Chiachi. Christened by the owner at Bar Vista Alegre, it comprises of a hearty combination of toasted bread, tomatoes, avocado and cheese, topped cheekily with a fried egg. Delicious! All the tables were cheerfully intermingling and chatting together and my bill was minuscule.

The disco bus, which runs all through the night, will take you from Playa d'en Bossa into Ibiza Town and to all the other top clubs, if you are wanting a night out further afield.

Getting around through the day couldn't be easier, with a regular bus service to Ibiza Town and other major resorts, or perhaps take one of the mini ferries - a relaxing and economical way to travel around the island.

There are four different types of accommodation available at the Jet complexluxury, superior, standard and economy - so it very much caters to the tastes and purse-strings of every guest.

For this week's Beach of the Week, we head to the north of Ibiza to the beautiful bay of Cala Xarraca.

Situated 3.5 kilometres from Portinatx, in between S'illot d'es Rencli and the mountain of Puig de Sa Xarraca, Cala Xarraca is best reached by car due to its steep access road, although it is also possible to travel there by bus.

At only 90 metres long and 15 metres wide, this is one of the most isolated bays in Ibiza, boasting the most magnificent of views. It is surrounded by lush green pine forests dotted with white houses, rugged red cliffs and rocky pathways which make it ideal for adventure walks and exploring.

The unusual dark sand contrasts perfectly with the natural surroundings and the clear aquamarine waters. The rocky coastline of Cala Xarraca makes it a perfect place for snorkelling, and it remains a firm favourite with photographers.

Cala Xarraca is divided into three areas; the middle is the busiest and most popular, with the two smaller areas to either side being more secluded and tending to attract nudists.

A unique feature of Cala Xarraca is its natural mud bath, which can be found to the left of the bay. This is said to have healing properties for the body, and has been known to soothe tired skin.

If you are looking for peace, tranquility and total relaxation away from busier resorts of Ibiza, Cala Xarraca is the perfect tonic. There is only restaurant, aptly named the Cala Xarraca, which has been run by the Tur family for over thirty years, and offers a variety of excellent food. Specialties include fresh fish and rice dishes.

Kathmandu is an Indian restaurant situated on Santa Eulalias famous Restaurant Street. Its well-known for its wide range of cuisine as well as its great ambience and the friendliness of its proprietors. Ibiza Spotlight went eagerly to check it out!

Santa Eulalia gets very busy during the summer months, so arrive in plenty of time to find a place to park. Restaurant Street, running parallel behind Santa Eulalias main road is pedestrianized and the nearby blue bays only allow 2 hours maximum parking, so I recommend the underground public car-park next to the bus station. Another option is the fast, air-conditioned bus from Ibiza Town which costs only 2 and runs every half an hour, there and back.

I arrived in Santa Eulalia one beautiful Ibiza evening at 7pm to find the street bustling with a colourful array of locals and holidaymakers eating, shopping, chatting and laughing. What a great atmosphere!

Soon my friend arrived and we took a seat outside on the street terrace, settling down for a spot of good old people-watching. Our friendly waitress, Vicky, was over straight away to take a drinks order. In a flash, I had a nice, chilled glass of very decent house white in one hand and a delicious fresh popadom in the other. The popadoms came with a great range of typical Indian dips and sauces. Yum! Ordering some Onion Bhajis, I perused the menu which offered a large selection of both classic favorites and house specialities, not to mention an impressive vegetarian selection.

My friend, to my surprise, knew what she wanted before the menu arrived. Did she have secret superpowers I wondered?! Actually yes she whispered. I have x-ray vision, but thats not how I knew the menu! We giggled and she confided that she comes often to Kathmandu and loves it because of the enormous range of great quality food and very decent prices.

In fact, she continued I often come to this Indian restaurant with visiting friends and family. One of the dishes Im ordering, the Nepali Momo has been so popular, it has sent my highly impressed friends searching high and low back home to find it again!

A high compliment indeed, coming from a woman with extremely high standards who eats out in Ibizas finest dining establishments on a daily basis. Well it came and she was right, it was fabulous! An authentic Nepali dish, it came served with dumplings made with minced meat in a wonderfully spicy Nepalese sauce.
