Descrizione
Ses Feixes is an important wetland, located between Ibiza Town and Talamanca. It is a wintering ground for migratory birds and harbouring a great variety of birds. Ses Feixes has an old ingenious irrigation which transformed the wetland into productive land, farmed until recent times. The system consists of many irrigation channels, which divide the land into fields. In Ses Feixes there are historic entrance gates, which formed the entrance to a feixa, one of the agricultural fields of the area. These gates are unique and only occur in Ibiza. Ses Feixes offers a curious walk in the middle of nature, despite being located practically in the city.
In total, about 140 different bird species have been recorded in Ses Feixes. Because the nature reserve has been threatened for years by housing construction and in the future possibly also by the construction of roads, steps are being taken to preserve the area. These steps are mainly aimed at informing residents and tourists about the importance of Ses Feixes. Among the birds you can see are Pernice rossa, Fagiano comune, Occhione, Corriere piccolo, Porciglione, Cardellino, Fanello, Cutrettola, Cannaiola, Airone rosso, Airone guardabuoi, Garzetta, Sgarza ciuffetto, Occhiocotto, Usignolo di fiume, Beccamoschino and Gabbiano corso.
Dettagli
Accesso
A path that starts from behind the hotels of Talamanca allows you to walk next to the feixa portals, a succession of whitewashed arches that indicated the entrance of each plot of cultivation. The Prat de ses Monges area is most attractive to explore with lower plant growth, views to the hills and information boards about birds and plant life you can expect to see.

Ses Feixes is subdivided into 164 small holdings and is unique in the world in terms of its irrigation system, a legacy of the town’s former Moslem inhabitants who made use of the water that flowed into the bay area by collecting it in a series of canals and ditches roughly one metre deep and up to three metres wide. In addition to providing constant irrigation for the crops, these channels marked the boundaries between the various properties and any excess water was channelled directly to the sea. Each plot features an entrance arch known as a portal de feixa, ‘feixa’ meaning patch or bed. Some of these still remain today. Most of the vegetables consumed in the capital were produced here.
