As the largest island in the Valencian Community, Tabarca offers a serene escape, perfect for basking in the gentle Mediterranean air. With a modest population of around 60 residents, you can enjoy a tranquil environment without the hustle and bustle of larger tourist sites.
We suggest wandering through the picturesque streets of the village located at the island’s western end, where you can visit the church of San Pedro and San Pablo. Don’t miss the Museum of Nueva Tabarca, home to numerous archaeological artifacts from this Mediterranean region.
To savor local flavors, consider trying the exquisite lobster rice dishes available at the village restaurants. For those who appreciate a scenic stroll, a visit to the eastern tip of the island will lead you to the iconic Tabarca lighthouse.
