Sant Miquel de Balansat, Ibiza, August 2025.

The towns and villages of Ibiza provide a rich source for street photography. Care is required as you are in another country and people are generally on holiday. They may not take kindly to having their photograph taken. The island is very attractive. The sun drenched streets and white reflective houses are a challenge and my polarised filter was needed. As I was on a family holiday, my transport options were limited to taking pictures during the day. Any sunrise or sunset pictures were taken in and around the villa where we were saying and these form the basis of another blog about the island. 

The interior of the churches that I visited were fascinating.  The church at Sant Miquel de Balansat had beautiful frescoes on the ceiling. At St Gertrude, the church, Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera church, was set back from the central thoroughfare. Inside you escaped the heat and were able to take in and marvel at the surrounding fixtures and iconography around the church.

I enjoyed photographing this selection taken around the island.  The places are described in the captions.
