What secrets do these ancient stones whisper? Right here, nestled amidst the sun-drenched hills of Ibiza, lie the remnants of the Medieval Islamic Rural Property. These scattered stones and weathered walls once formed the heart of an alquería, a small, self-sufficient farming community. Imagine a cluster of humble dwellings, perhaps fortified for protection, where life revolved around the rhythms of the earth. These were the homes of Islamic settlers, primarily Berbers from North Africa, who arrived in the wake of the Moorish conquest in the 11th century. Skilled in the art of irrigation, they transformed Ibiza’s landscape, their legacy visible even today in the ancient water channels etched across the island.
