Five privately owned properties in the municipality of Santa Eulària des Riu are affected by land expropriations required to build a new cycle route between Ca na Negreta and Puig d’en Valls. The project, promoted by the Consell Insular d’Eivissa, will run alongside the EI-300 road and cover approximately 2.6 kilometres, with a construction budget of more than €2 million including VAT.

The initial property schedule identifies 435 square metres of private land for expropriation across the five plots. Additional areas will be required for underground easements and temporary occupation during the works.

The project aims to improve connections between Ca na Negreta, Puig d’en Valls and Jesús, creating greater continuity between existing cycling routes in this part of Ibiza.

Five Properties Included in the Expropriation Process

According to the property schedule published by the Consell, five privately owned plots in Santa Eulària are affected by the planned works.

The largest area to be expropriated is 257 square metres, representing approximately 59% of the total land required. The other four properties have affected areas of 36, 29, 104 and nine square metres respectively.

In addition to the 435 square metres subject to expropriation, the project identifies two underground easements covering a combined 30 square metres. It also includes temporary occupation of a further 115 square metres.

These additional areas are separate from the land being permanently expropriated and are required for different aspects of the infrastructure works.

Urgent Occupation Procedure

The expropriation process was initiated by the Consell in September 2026. An edict dated 8 September set out the initial list of affected properties and rights, and the notice appeared in the Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands on 10 September.

The procedure included a 15-day public information period during which interested parties could submit objections, particularly in relation to possible errors in the identification of the properties or the rights affected.

The documentation also provides for a declaration of urgent occupation of the necessary land. The initial publication of the property schedule does not, by itself, mean that all expropriations have been completed or that the land has already been taken into possession.

A 2.6-Kilometre Cycle Route Along the EI-300

The project involves constructing a segregated cycling route measuring 2,645 metres alongside the EI-300. Most of the new infrastructure will run along the left-hand side of the road, between kilometre points 1+925 and 4+130.

The route is designed to connect existing cycling infrastructure around Ca na Negreta and Puig d’en Valls, with links towards Jesús and the wider network.

The aim is to improve continuity for people travelling by bicycle between these population centres and make cycling a more practical option for everyday journeys.

The development forms part of the Consell's wider programme to expand the island's cycling infrastructure and connect urban centres through safer interurban routes.

Construction Tender Worth More Than €2 Million

The construction works have already been put out to public tender by the Consell Insular d’Eivissa.

The current tender has a budget of €1,729,829.10 excluding VAT, equivalent to €2,093,093.21 including VAT. A separate allocation of €6,069.30 is included for expropriation costs.

The planned construction period is six months. Companies interested in carrying out the works have until 23 November 2026 at 14:00 to submit their bids.

The tender process is still underway, meaning that the construction contract has not yet been awarded.

Improving Cycling Connections Across Ibiza

The Ca na Negreta to Puig d’en Valls route is one of several projects intended to expand and connect Ibiza's cycling network.

The Consell has identified the need for more continuous routes between residential areas, transport connections and important destinations. The new section is intended to address a gap in the existing network and provide a more direct cycling connection between several population centres in Santa Eulària.

Once the procurement and land procedures have progressed, the project will move towards construction, with the aim of improving cycling access and encouraging more sustainable journeys across this part of the island.
