Balafia is a small, inland hamlet with whitewashed interlocking houses. They have flat roofs and towers where the inhabitants hid in times past during attacks by pirates. The houses are probably the oldest on the island and the village is said to be the only surviving Moorish settlement on Ibiza. Lying under the Peak es Fornas and located near a spring, the name Balafia means good water. It can be reached by a lane off the road to Sant Llorenc.
