How to get to Pou Roig

Pou Roig, a well steeped in age-old customs

Pou Roig

Halfway between Sant Jordi and Ibiza Town lies Pou Roig. Curiously, although it sits level with Platja d’en Bossa and appears in the cultural catalogues of the official bodies, when we went Pou Roig had no signs at all. What’s more, you either keep your eyes peeled, bring a GPS or pray for divine inspiration, because not even the locals are quite sure where it is.

First take the road that runs through Sant Jordi. As you enter the village, look for the church of Sant Jordi, which you can see from the main road. Turn there and stay on Carrer de Montblanc. Once you leave the housing estates behind, you’ll come into an area of ploughed fields on both sides of the road. At the first crossroads, on your left, is Pou Roig, unsigned, as we said, and in the shade of the neighbouring estate.

The history of Pou Roig

Today a well is just one more water source, used on remote farms. Barely a century ago, however, wells were an essential stop for watering horses and livestock, and also a meeting place for the locals: together with the church, they were the main centre of social life and courtship. Pou Roig is one of those wells that brought the people of the area together for generations.
