A Phoenician-Punic settlement during ancient times, Ibiza
contains within its Renaissance walls an interesting legacy from
all the different cultures that populated it.
This artistic wealth is found in the monumental area of Dalt
Vila, in the necropolis of Es Puig des Molins and in the
archaeological site of Sa Caleta. The beauty of the island
capital is enhanced by the sands and coves at Figueretes, Es
Viver and Talamanca, as well as by its the diverse marine
ecosystem.
Ibiza, often called the White Island for its typical
architecture, became a major tourist destination during the
1960s, being then famous for its "Hippie-Culture" and nudist
beaches. Today Ibiza has widened its appeal to cater for
families and older visitors, but any visitor to the Island
should remember that San Antonio is like Amsterdam with sun.
The young ones are attracted by the island's rollicking
nightlife, which already starts in the afternoon, at the beaches
and in the centre of town, to continue until dawn in the
numerous discotheques. Unless you're one of them it's best to
keep away from San Antonio or the Island as a whole. You must
remember, that even if your not staying near them in Ibiza
you'll still have to share the airport and flight with them,
twice.
If you leave the beaches behind you to explore the island's
interior, you will find a pure and simple Mediterranean culture,
and remains of populations which inhabited Ibiza thousands of
years ago, as for instance the famous wall-paintings of Ses
Fontelles.
