Mid-November is when Ibiza gets its outdoor life back. The heat has gone, the pine forests smell of resin after the first rains, and the island's town councils fill the calendar with races, guided walks and free cultural afternoons aimed at the people who actually live here. If you're looking for Ibiza events this week that get you outside rather than indoors, the next seven days are full of them: a coastal trail race in the north-east, a night of stargazing at Cala d'Hort, smugglers' caves, a relay run tied to the sobrassada season and plenty of easy family outings in between.
Here's our pick of the outdoor and family events in Ibiza from Saturday 14 to Saturday 21 November 2026, with the practical details you need to plan a week.
Trail Races and Group Runs in Ibiza This Week
XI Adobe Sant Carles Trail – Sunday 15 November, 10:45
The eleventh edition of the Sant Carles Trail follows one of the wildest stretches of Ibiza's coastline, past rocky coves, through pine forest and by an old pirate watchtower in the north-east of the island. There are two distances: a 12 km course starting at Cala Boix and a shorter 7 km route from Pou d'es Lleó, so it works whether you train every week or just enjoy a long, hilly walk-run. It's a self-sufficiency race, so bring your own water and snacks. Entry starts from around €17. Even if you aren't running, the finish area is a good excuse to spend a morning in this quiet corner of Santa Eulària and have a long lunch afterwards.
Group Social Trail Run – Wednesday 18 November, 09:00
For something with less pressure, the weekly group trail run is open to all levels and kept at a social, chatty pace through pine forest and coastal paths. The meeting point changes every week, so check the location before you go. Participation costs around €4, and it's one of the easiest ways to meet active locals and discover trails you'd never find on your own.
Cursa Sa Sobrassada – Saturday 21 November, 09:00
To close the week, Santa Gertrudis hosts a popular relay race over a half-marathon distance, run in pairs along rural tracks around the village. It's timed to match the traditional season for making sobrassada, the paprika-cured sausage that still marks the start of winter in Ibizan farmhouses. Find a partner, split the distance, and stay for the village atmosphere. Check the organisers' channels for registration details.
Guided Walks and Nordic Walking
If running isn't your thing, Ibiza's councils run free walking programmes all winter.
The Ruta de Marcha Nórdica in Sant Antoni is part of a series of free Nordic walking routes the town hall organises through the cool season. Poles, fresh air and a sociable group make it a gentle way to get fit and see the west coast at walking pace. The sessions are free, but places can fill up, so sign up through the Sant Antoni council in advance.
Early risers can also join the Guided Route: Dawn at Sa Talaia on Sunday 15 November, which leaves at 07:15 from the square in front of the church in Sant Josep and climbs the island's highest point in time for sunrise. It's free and part of Sant Josep's 2026–2027 guided routes programme. Dress in layers: it is noticeably colder at the top than on the coast.
Stargazing and Caves: Ibiza After Dark and Underground
Noche de Estrellas at Cala d'Hort – Saturday 14 November
The Consell d'Eivissa and the Agrupació Astronòmica d'Eivissa have restarted their free public astronomy nights at Cala d'Hort, the natural park facing Es Vedrà. With almost no light pollution on this stretch of the south-west coast, November's long nights make it one of the best times of year to look up. Volunteer astronomers set up telescopes and talk visitors through what's overhead. Bring a warm jacket, a red-light torch if you have one, and something to sit on. Confirm the start time and booking requirements with the Consell before you set off.
Can Marçà Cave Tours – daily, 10:30
Hidden in the cliffs near Port de Sant Miquel on the north coast, the Cova de Can Marçà is a limestone cave system shaped over thousands of years, and for more than a century it was a smugglers' hideout. Guided tours run every day this week from 10:30, with tickets from about €9 to €15. It's a reliable rainy-day plan and a hit with children, and the views over the bay from the entrance are worth the drive on their own.
Family-Friendly Culture and Craft
Not every outing needs trainers. A few of this week's gentler events are perfect for families or slow mornings.
Felt Hat Making with Antoni Tur 'Sendic' – Saturday 14 November, 10:00
At Ca n'Andreu des Trull in Sant Carles, master hatter Antoni Tur Riera, known as 'Sendic', demonstrates how traditional Ibizan felt hats are made. It's a rare chance to watch a craft that has nearly disappeared from the island. The demonstration is free but places are limited, so arrive early.
3ª Fira Sabors at s'Alamera – Saturday 14 November, from 10:30
Under the trees of Passeig de Vara de Rey in Ibiza Town, the third Fira Sabors brings local flavours to the city's main promenade. It pairs well with the Saturday country market at Mercat de Forada, held on the road between Sant Rafel and Santa Agnès, where you'll find organic produce, local wine and handmade goods, plus a special festa pagesa edition this weekend with live music.
Contes de Tardor: "Ikigai, la teva raó de ser" – Friday 20 November, 17:00
Part of Santa Eulària's autumn storytelling programme, this session by David i Monma takes place at the public library of CEIP Sant Carles and is aimed at children aged three and up. It's free and a lovely way to end the school week.
Divendres de Cine – Friday 20 November, 20:00
For grown-ups, the free Friday film cycle at the Can Jeroni Cultural Centre in Sant Josep screens The Seed of the Sacred Fig in its original version with Spanish subtitles. Independent cinema, no ticket price, and a short drive from the south-west beaches.
Tips for an Outdoor Week in Ibiza in November
Check the weather and the sea. November brings bright, mild days, often 17–20°C, but also the odd heavy shower. Trails in the north can get muddy after rain, so proper trainers or walking shoes beat sandals.
Rent a car or plan your buses. Winter bus timetables are reduced, and many of this week's events, from Cala Boix to Cala d'Hort, are well away from the main towns. A car makes it far easier to combine a morning race with lunch in a village.
Book the free activities. Many council-run events are free but limited in numbers. Booking ahead through the relevant ajuntament or the Consell d'Eivissa saves a wasted trip.
Make a weekend of it. Pair the Sant Carles Trail with a Sunday at the Sant Joan market, or the stargazing night with a sunset walk along the cliffs above Cala d'Hort beforehand.
Plans change quickly in the quiet season, so always confirm times and locations before you set off. For the full, day-by-day agenda of what's on across the island, including markets, concerts and exhibitions, browse the Ibiza Calendar events page and build your own week.
