Ibiza

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.
