Basic moments

Half a century ago, the radiant beauty of Ibiza, the blue clear sea, long, almost deserted beaches at that time, and magnificent landscapes made the city a center of attraction for hippies. This fateful choice for the island divided the modern history of Ibiza into two eras: “before the hippies” and “after the hippies”. Spanish bohemia flocked here for the “long-haired” people, and today the city is some kind of incredible “cocktail”, where there is a place for everyone: moneybags relaxing in luxurious villas, golden youth who prefer modern five-star hotels, and romantic travelers , content with living in hostels.

Here the sun smiles on everyone, the sea waves gently whisper something, there is a cozy place for everyone in a fashionable restaurant or an affordable bistro. Some will go to the beach to dance until they drop to the sounds of electronic music, others will prefer boat trips on yachts, boats, or go scuba diving, and some will spend hours wandering through fashion boutiques, not knowing what outfit to stop their gaze on.

Ibiza can also boast of its numerous historical attractions, because it is not for nothing that its Old Town, surrounded by mighty stone walls, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

History of Ibiza Town

In his historical treatises, the ancient Greek historian and mythographer Diodorus Siculus claims that the city of Ibiza dates back to 654 BC. e., when Phoenician colonists founded a seaport here. They named him Ibossim. The port was surrounded by fortified walls and over time became an important link in Mediterranean trade routes.

With the decline of Phenicia, the power of Carthage was established here, and in the 2nd century BC. e. Along with the other islands of the Balearic archipelago, Ibiza was conquered by the Romans. After becoming Roman, the city received the name "Ebusus". It had a federal status, as evidenced by the fact that it minted its own money. On the coins found during excavations, on one side you can see the inscription “Self-governing island”, and on the other - the image of Bes, a deity who was worshiped here back in the days of the Phoenicians. This is confirmation that the Romanization of Ibiza was not radically different, and the locals managed to preserve their ancient beliefs. The Ibisians also preserved traditional crafts - extracting salt from sea water, catching fish and growing fruits and vegetables.

Between the 5th and 9th centuries, Ibiza was subject to barbarian raids, formally becoming part of the Byzantine Empire, after which it fell under the rule of the Moorish emirs. The city changed its name again - during the period of Arab rule it was called Yebisah. The influence of Moorish culture is still felt here, which is manifested in architectural and musical traditions, and the linguistic features of the island dialect.

In 1236, King Jaime I of Aragon and Count of Barcelona conquered Ibiza, expelling the Arabs from here. Legend has it that the impregnable city fell thanks to the betrayal of the ruler’s brother, who showed the Spaniards a secret passage to the fortress, taking revenge on a relative for a personal insult. This move can still be seen today in the historical part of Ibiza.

The Catalans named the city in their own manner - Eivissa, but in Spanish and English proper this name sounds like “Ibiza”. In 1986, the name Eivissa received official status. The inhabitants of the island themselves call their main city Villa d’Iivissa or simply Villa.

Until the beginning of the 18th century, the island maintained a system of self-government in various forms, but its inhabitants had to pay a high price for independence: they were forced to repel constant attacks by sea pirates on their own. In 1715, the Spanish king from the Bourbon dynasty, Philip V, abolished the autonomy of Ibiza. Since 1983, when the Balearic Islands again became an autonomous region of Spain, the city of Ibiza received the status of the administrative center of the island.

Tourism seasons

Tourists begin to flock to Ibiza en masse in May, when the air temperature during the day is about +22 °C, and the sea water warms up to +19 °C. It’s comfortable here in June: on average +26 °C. In July-August it gets hot, the thermometer approaches +30 °C, gloomy skies and rain are an extremely rare exception. The water temperature in summer varies from +21 to +27 °C. Summer in Ibiza is party season. At this time, young people from all over Europe are in charge here, for whom a beach holiday is just a pleasant addition to reckless parties in fashionable clubs and bars.

The weather is also pleasant in autumn: in September during the day it is about +27 °C, in November +18...+20 °C. Even in the last month of autumn you can swim: the water temperature does not drop below +19 °C. In October-November there are short-term rains.

The rainiest month is December, but cloudy weather does not last long and there are many more clear days. The average temperature in winter is +13...+15 °C.

Walk around the city

The architectural appearance of Ibiza is original and charming in its eclecticism. There are ancient, well-kept houses, villas, and many modern buildings preserved here. City streets with these pretty buildings, closely pressed against each other, descend from the hills to the blue sea and form a single whole with the stone or hedges surrounding them. Getting around Ibiza is easy. If you turn your back to the sea on the Paseo Maritimo embankment, then on your left you will find the Old Town and the Paseo Vara de Rei embankment, and on your right and in front is the modern part of the city.

The Paseo Vara de Rei embankment stretches for 300 meters and is considered the heart of the city. There are many historical buildings with colonial architecture, terraces, shops, bars, restaurants. Along it, under the canopy of centuries-old trees, there are stone benches, where in the summer heat you can sit and watch street life. Fairs, concerts, festivals, and costume processions are held on the embankment throughout the year.

The La Marina quarter is adjacent to the port of Ibiza, where it is pleasant to wander around at any time of the day. It dates back to the Middle Ages, when the Catalans conquered Ibiza and began to build new buildings outside the fortress walls. The architecture of the quarter is typical of the island: on the narrow streets there are neatly whitewashed houses with tiny windows, balconies, balustrades, crowded together on the narrow streets, there are also shops selling products of local artisans, and elegant boutiques nearby.

La Marina is home to art galleries, small hotels and a myriad of cafes, restaurants, bars, which are lively and crowded not only in season, but also in winter. As dusk falls, the music in the neighborhood gets louder and, illuminated by neon lights, it becomes a truly magical place.

In the port itself you can see an obelisk, which is often called the world's only monument to pirates. In fact, we are talking about privateers - corsairs who had a license from the authorities of their countries to attack ships of hostile states, sink them or rob them. The spoils partially went to the state treasury, but a good sum remained in the pockets of the conquerors of the sea. The monument, built in 1915, is not of particular artistic value, but serves as a good landmark in the city.

The Sa Pena neighborhood is adjacent to La Marina. It stretches from the port to the foot of the hills, above which lies the Upper Town - the main historical attraction of Ibiza. The narrow, stone-paved streets of the La Marina district, its low houses in courtyards decorated with flower beds and fragrant shrubs, Gothic buildings, historical hotels, on the facades of which are imprinted with the handprints of famous guests, are conducive to pleasant walks. But not everywhere there is a peaceful atmosphere here. The Carrer de la Mare de Deu, also known as Virgin Street or the Avenue of the Virgin, which runs through the entire quarter, is one of the favorite places for those who like to party until the morning. There are bars, restaurants, and discos at literally every step. It is also known as the center of gay tourism on the island.

Sa Pena approaches the very walls of the Old Town, which lies on the slope of one of the hills overlooking the port of Ibiza. At its very top is the Upper Town - La Dalt Vila, surrounded by powerful walls with bastions forming a heptagon. This quarter is a unique ensemble, including squares and narrow alleys, religious and secular historical buildings. It is quite large, and it will take a lot of time to take a good look at everything. Take care of your shoes - they should be comfortable; it will be difficult to walk along cobblestone streets and squares in heels.

The main entrance to the city is called Portal de ses Taules. It is located between two bastions - Sant Joan and Santa Lucia, and was built at the end of the 16th century. In those days, the moat in front of the gate was crossed by a boardwalk, which could easily be dismantled in case of danger of attack. Later the deck was replaced by a drawbridge, and at the beginning of the 20th century a permanent stone structure was erected here. The gate is decorated with the royal coat of arms. On both sides of the entrance there are Roman sculptures found during excavations. These are copies, the originals are in the Archaeological Museum.

The first defensive structures on the hill were built by the Carthaginians, but they have not survived, but the remains of medieval earthen ramparts and fortress walls with watchtowers can still be seen today. The grandiose fortifications that appear before your eyes were erected in the 16th century at the behest of King Philip II, who paid tribute to the strategic position of Ibiza in the Mediterranean. The fortress was built to hold off the constant attacks of Barbary pirates. The length of the perimeter walls is about two kilometers, and their height in some places reaches 22 m. This stronghold is one of two fully preserved Renaissance fortresses. The second is part of the fortifications in La Valletta (Malta).

In addition to the Portal de ses Taules, the main entrance to the Upper Town, there are four more, and each of them will lead you to one of the historical corners, from where your acquaintance with La Dalt Vila will begin. It is very easy to get lost here among the numerous historical attractions, shops, cafes, art galleries, but, in any case, you will not pass by the iconic monuments of the quarter. Entrance to temples and castles is free, but to view their collections and visit museums you will need to pay from 1 to 3 €.

The most spectacular buildings of La Dalt Vila are located at the top and form a magnificent architectural ensemble. This is Ibiza Castle and Santa Maria Cathedral. The castle is the oldest building on the island. It was built by the Arabs in the 12th century. During the Middle Ages, it was supplemented with bastions, a fortress wall and 12 towers. The houses of the townspeople and the Cathedral of Santa Maria were hidden behind the defensive structures. Over the past centuries, the appearance of the castle has changed more than once, acquiring features of different architectural styles, but elements of Gothic and Renaissance prevail here. The castle looks grandiose from the outside, but its interior decor is very modest.

Behind the castle wall in the Cathedral Square is the Cathedral of Santa Maria. In 1235, when Ibiza was conquered by the Catalans, there was a mosque here, which in turn was built by the Arabs on the site of a Roman temple. Since the Christianization of the islanders was the first priority for the new rulers of Ibiza, they decided not to destroy the religious Muslim building, but to rebuild it in order to quickly begin Catholic services. In the middle of the 15th century, 5 chapels were erected here, dedicated to the saints most revered by the Spaniards. In the 16th century, the appearance of the castle changed again, acquiring distinct features of Catalan Gothic. A global restoration was carried out in the 18th century, and today its appearance and interiors are dominated by Baroque features.

The Archaeological Museum is also located on Cathedral Square. Its halls house an exhibition chronologically divided into 6 periods: from prehistoric times to the conquest of Ibiza by the Spaniards.

In this corner of La Dalt Vila, everything breathes the medieval era: narrow winding streets, cobblestone streets, ancient houses where people still live today. Many of them today house souvenir shops, galleries and exhibition halls, cafes and restaurants.

Heading down from the Cathedral Square, you will see the beautiful Church of Santo Domingo, the second largest temple in Ibiza. It was built in the 17th century. Be sure to stop by here to admire the magnificent interior of the cathedral. Santo Domingo is adjacent to the Dominican monastery. Construction of the monastery began in 1592 according to the design of Genoese architects; construction was completed in the middle of the 17th century. After the confiscation of Mendizábal in the 19th century, which included the dissolution of the monastic orders and the nationalization of their possessions, the monastery became the seat of the city authorities.

By the way, the city authorities are sensitive to the history of the city, organizing various interesting events in La Dalt Vila. Recently, so-called “Theater Visits” have become popular. They are held for tourists all year round on Saturdays at twilight hours. During the trip, tourists are accompanied by actors who perform themed scenes at the main attractions. The excursion lasts about an hour and a half, the cost is 10 € for adults, 5 € for children from 5 to 16 years old, for children - free.

As you descend towards the exit of the Upper Town, do not pass by the Museum of Contemporary Art, located in one of the halls of the former Ibiza Armory. There is an excellent collection of paintings by local and foreign artists who are members of the Friends of Ibiza Association, founded in 1969. Many of its participants, fascinated by the beauty of the island, purchased property in Ibiza and stayed here forever.

If you are not tired after walking around La Dalt Vila, return to Paseo Vara de Rei and from here, via Calle de Espana, head to new areas of Ibiza, such as Figueretas. Its streets go down to the beach of the same name. Life in this corner of Ibiza, where there are numerous bars, discos, hotels, and apartments for rent, is in full swing at any time of the year, but in the summer there is simply nowhere to fall.

On the hill between the Upper Town and Figueretas is another famous landmark of Ibiza - the Puig d'es Molins necropolis, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first burials here date back to the 7th century BC. e., when the Carthaginians buried their loved ones in Ibiza, considering this land sacred. They dug caves on the hillside, where they placed sarcophagi with the bodies of the deceased; the entrances to the grottoes themselves were usually filled with boulders. In the 1st century BC. e. The area of ​​the necropolis was supposedly 50,000 m², and the number of crypts exceeded 3,000. The Romans, who came to the island after the Carthaginians, also buried their dead here. Excavations in the area began in 1929, and in 1968 the necropolis had its own museum. In its halls you will find one of the best collections of Punic art in the world.

Beaches

Within the city of Ibiza there are three beaches: Ses Figueretes, Talamanca, Playa d'en Bossa. Each of them is perfectly equipped. The infrastructure includes water entertainment centers, cafes, showers, and toilets. Entrance to all beaches is free during the day, you will have to pay for the use of a sunbed and umbrella (12 € each), you can rent a tent for 200 €.

Ses Figueretes boasts its location near the city center and a picturesque landscape: its miniature coves very effectively separate the rocky hills, creating cozy corners for relaxation. The sandy slope here is gentle, and in some places you need to walk about 50 m to fully swim. It is separated from the city highways by the Ses Pitiuses alley, where cafes, restaurants, shops of artists and craftsmen are located.

Elegantly curved along the coastline, Talamanca Beach is located a quarter of an hour's walk from the center of Ibiza. A walk here along the embankment, where cafes, restaurants, casinos, and shops are open, will be very pleasant. The beach stretches over 900 meters in the Cala Talamanca Bay. The atmosphere here is calm, as thrill-seeking young people “have a blast” in other places, for example, in Playa d'en Bossa.

The huge beach of the resort area of ​​Playa d'en Bossa is located on the southern outskirts of Ibiza. It is the longest on the island, stretching for almost 3 km. Fashionable clubs, restaurants, and hotels crowd each other along the beach, many of which are the most fashionable on the island. Playa d'en Bossa is home to some of the most famous clubs in Ibiza. On most of the beach, the atmosphere is somewhat crazy: people dance and drink here from morning to night, loud electronic music is heard everywhere, popular DJs perform, and costume shows take place.

If you get tired of the noise, take a walk along the beach: the further you get from the city, the calmer the situation becomes. This way you can walk to the nudist beach Playa d'Es Cavallette, also popular with windsurfers. Even further away is Playa de Migjorn beach with a luxurious promenade.

Note! You can fly from Moscow (Domodedovo Airport), St. Petersburg, Krasnodar and Yekaterinburg. The initial ticket price is 6.5 thousand rubles. It is much more profitable to purchase air tickets directly than through Russian tour operators.

Inexperienced travelers are afraid of traveling to new places that are far from their home. Advice and recommendations from avid tourists will help dispel all fears and instill confidence. Here's what they say about holidays in Ibiza:

• It is necessary to clearly understand which country Ibiza belongs to. All local establishments are imbued with Spanish flavor. It is important to take this circumstance into account in order to avoid getting into an awkward situation when communicating with the indigenous inhabitants of the island.
• Time flies at breakneck speed in Ibiza, so you should clearly think through the list of places that are worth visiting first. This will help you not feel limited in your choice.
• Ibiza is not only about noisy parties and nightlife, but also a unique historical and cultural heritage. It is recommended to devote some free time to visiting memorable places and the main attractions of the island; this will significantly broaden your horizons.
• You should focus on visiting not clubs, but parties, since they are the ones who create that unique atmosphere of the resort.
• You should always study the lineups (lists of DJs who will play at the party) in advance. This way you can save yourself from listening to inappropriate music.

Ibiza is a unique luxury resort in Europe that everyone will love. There is entertainment here for partygoers and for exemplary family men craving silence and solitude. It is best to fly to the island in the summer, when the largest events and festivals are held.

The island of Ibiza has long had a reputation as a place where only young people can relax normally. We will try to look at it from different angles and explain why we consider it universal.

Ibiza mood

• This island, probably like no other, evokes many conflicting feelings. The “magical” place is famous throughout the world for all kinds of pleasures, spread out over wide areas of dance floors, beaches, water parks, luxury hotels...
• The fireworks of emotions are complemented by world-famous stars, scurrying back and forth in close proximity to fans and ordinary onlookers.
• This picturesque picture is completed by the azure sky, merging with clear water and sand caressing the body.

It would concern what restrictions there might be in order to visit this paradise? Paradoxically, many deliberately avoid the “Island of Besa” (that’s how “Ibiza” is translated) due to “outdated” data in the passport. As if age has limits to fun! It is generally accepted that Ibiza is a place where young people “hang out”. And it is true! There are clubs here that host incredible shows accompanied by world-famous DJs.

But, nevertheless, Ibiza has a number of first-class resorts for families with children, away from the noise and “bustle of the city”. And if you vacation outside of the high season (for example, in winter or spring), then you are guaranteed mild weather and privacy. Therefore, we are convinced that this part of the Balearic Islands will suit everyone, at any time of the year. You just have to figure out who should stay and where.

When to fly and how?

The most economical option would be to fly to Mallorca or Barcelona on a charter flight for €450 in the summer, and then take a ferry to Ibiza. The cost of the crossing is €50-70. For comparison: the price for a direct flight to the island fluctuates around $700-800. Charter flights are slightly cheaper.

And one more tip for the budget-conscious: at the end of June – beginning of July, they traditionally charge less for a hotel stay than during the high season, which ends in October. At the same time, you will be able to get to all parties, because... The doors of the clubs are already open. Only you are welcome here.

Where to stay? Resorts

Everything here is like in a fairy tale: if you go left, you will lose sleep, if you go right, you will find peace. If you like to “light up the stars” at night, we recommend basing yourself in Ibiza town. It is a meeting place for travelers, clubbers and nightlife revelers, radiating celebration, celebration and nothing but a celebration of life. Don't let go of your camera and have a spare battery! Who knows, maybe after midnight a transvestite with false eyelashes and an incredible boa will come up to you and ask you to “borrow a light”... Anything is possible in Ibiza.

The legendary clubs Pacha and El Divino, luxury boutiques, and bars and restaurants are located here. Ibiza town is a favorite meeting place for celebrities. Taking a look into the historical district of the Old Town, you can wander along the narrow cobbled streets away from the musical “madness” of the local resort. Or you can take walks along the Ibiza pier, where luxury yachts are moored.

• Despite many advantages, the city has a couple of disadvantages, which in fairness are worth voicing. This is the lack of your own beach. Therefore, if you are eager to go to Ibiza to take away a bronze tan from here, then choose another resort. Because it will take at least ten minutes to get from Ibiza Town to the nearest beach.
• In addition, prices in the city (accommodation does not count) are an order of magnitude higher than other resorts. This is explained by the increased demand among tourists for this holiday destination. Of course, people come here from all over the world to merge in a single ecstasy to the sounds of techno, house and trance. The result is long queues and crowded streets. By the way, the island receives up to four million people annually. So, if you don’t want to get into the epicenter of resort passions, book your hotel in advance.

In the meantime, we are exploring the calmer and incredibly beautiful resort of Portinach.

Portinach

The wind will not spoil your mood here: the rocks reliably protect the area from the pranks of nature. In this place you will be helped to master diving so you can admire the sea views in crystal clear water to your heart's content. The shores are both rocky and with perfect sand. Ferries from other resorts regularly moor at the pier. Among the incredible variety of restaurants, let us highlight, perhaps, “Es Puet Blanc”. It will appeal to married couples with children. There is a large play terrace, and just beyond it is the sea, the bounty of which will be brought to you on a tray. Bachelors will probably want to feel the atmosphere of a “drinking establishment”, designed for... well, at least for the British - lovers of inexpensive and high-quality drinks. Collective singing with a mug of beer in hand and heated discussion of football matches will be provided to you at the Vincent Bar.

Talamanca

The Talamanca resort is suitable for both lovers of noisy pastimes and their antagonists. True, there is one thing: a five-minute drive from a quiet area is the noisy capital. As they say, draw your own conclusions...

Talamanca, by the way, has the most beautiful beach with a gentle entrance, which ensures safe swimming for children. There is everything you need for comfortable sunbathing and swimming: sun loungers, umbrellas, lifeguards, attractions, bars, rental of windsurfing equipment... There is a water park nearby where you can have great fun with the whole family.

San Antonio

The resort of San Antonio has become famous as the English-speaking part of Ibiza. This is an exclusively youth place. That's why it's always noisy here, especially at night. After all, people come here to have fun. Therefore, an incredible number of nightlife establishments, bars, discos and hotels are concentrated here, where people do not sleep for days on end. Do you like drive? So this is your place.

Once again about the beaches

Ibiza is not the largest island in area, but fifty beaches and coves leave no doubt: there is enough space in the sun for everyone. Even for those who are looking for privacy on the hot days of the high season. In the north of the island you can explore the underwater world. For lovers of more active water activities, the already mentioned resorts of Talamanca and Portinach, as well as Playa Den Bossa in the southeast of the island, are suitable.

In the east there are specially designated areas for nudists and representatives of sexual minorities. There are convenient beaches for couples. And there are places where there are many celebrities who want to relax in a relaxed atmosphere.

The “beach” south of the island includes the whole range of entertainment, ranging from calm daytime music to foam parties that charge you with energy by two hundred percent. By the way, there is an unusual bar there: all visitors are “accidentally” doused with cold water from a hose. Your opinion on this matter is not taken into account, because such a “trick” is the main attraction of the beach.

In the west of the island you can relax in a quiet bay where the yachts of rich people rest.

Tired of water activities, you can go horseback riding to admire the amazing natural views of Ibiza.

..and about discos

Ibiza is one of the ten places where the “coolest” clubs in the world are located, recognized by the world’s partygoers. Among them are two titans: Privilege and Space. The first club can accommodate up to ten thousand people; in the center of the dance floor there is a huge pool in which costume performances with all sorts of visual effects take place. Space has many venues with different music. This is very convenient: tired of the energetic “sausage”, you can take a break by listening to the “slow” in another room. Parties take place outdoors in close proximity to the runway.

Many clubs are open 24 hours a day. If you want to experience as many parties as possible, don't rush into all of them at once. Organizers presenting their program, as a rule, rent various venues for their performances. Find out in advance which thematic party you will witness.

Realities of club life

The price for entering the club will be from €30 to €80, and you will not be able to leave its territory. Otherwise you will have to pay again. Tickets can be purchased in advance, it will be cheaper. An even more profitable option: purchase a flyer. Drinks start from €15. There is usually a large parking lot in front of the entrance. There is no dress code.

Separately, it is necessary to highlight the legendary holiday destination - Bora Bora beach and the center of Ibiza's daytime club life. There is always music playing here that you can dance to for free. Or you can doze on the sand, hiding from the scorching sun under an umbrella. By the way, it is paid – €15 complete with a sunbed.

In general, prices here are much higher than on mainland Spain. This is understandable: the desire of tourists to join the universal fun only grows over the years.

Food

Needless to say, there are an incredible number of bars and restaurants in Ibiza, where you will be offered everything your heart desires. The local cuisine is not limited to the Mediterranean menu. But be prepared to pay “a fortune” for a restaurant meal. It’s not easier, but it’s cheaper to buy groceries in the supermarket and cook something yourself. The English breakfast is popular on the island and is offered everywhere around the clock. It consists of eggs, bacon, toast and coffee. This meal costs €3. A local hearty “business lunch” without any frills, but with wine and even dessert, will cost up to €10.

Accommodation

It’s not for nothing that we brought you up to date for so long, describing the features of a holiday in Ibiza. It is important to know what is going on in each part of the island in order to understand where you would like to stay.

Accommodation in club areas such as Ibiza Town or San Antonio is inexpensive. People come here mainly for fun, and not for a quiet holiday in comfort. Therefore, the local public has low requirements for service. But cleanliness and the necessary minimum, such as a shower and a balcony, are certainly available. Playa Den Bossa, on the contrary, is the most expensive area of ​​Ibiza. Here money “flows like a river”, expenses amount to thousands of euros per day.

The average cost of living in Ibiza is from one hundred euros per day. This does not count the large expenses for restaurants and drinks.

Moving around the island

Forget about buses. They drive slowly and rarely. And at night they are not there at all. You can rent a car in Ibiza per day for €30-90. It all depends on the class of the car. You can save money here by booking in advance. Returning and renting a car on non-working days are advantages for your budget. There are scooters, ATVs, bicycles and, of course, taxis.

Attractions

As you know, sooner or later you get tired of everything: from sleepless nights and daytime “doing nothing.” If such apathy attacks you, it doesn’t matter. There is a lot more to see in Ibiza. For example, the oldest part of the island, Dalt Vila, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to the Museum of Modern Art and the Cathedral.

Various caves, among them – Kan-Marsa – one of the most beautiful and ancient. A tour of its internal museum takes about half an hour. You can travel around the entire island with a guide and learn about how Ibiza survived times of famine and poverty, the Arab yoke and many other interesting historical facts. It is worth trying wine from local vineyards, the authentic frigola drink, playing golf and visiting the popular hippie market among tourists.

P.S.

Yes, Ibiza is a continuous party lasting a vacation of ten days and no less! This is a place where you can finally forget about rules and prejudices, indulge in all sorts of hard things, learn to lightly disdain money and relax with the highest degree of comfort. This is a fabulous island, about which it is not enough just to listen to incredible stories. This is a must see! And a passport... It is necessary, perhaps, only when entering the country... Age is not a hindrance to a holiday in Ibiza.

Russian tourists prefer to spend their holidays on foreign beaches. They visit Turkey and Egypt especially often. Ibiza is one of the most popular holiday destinations among Russian residents. The interest in her is quite understandable. This resort area offers tourists a lot of unique opportunities that they will certainly want to take advantage of.

What is Ibiza? This is the first question that a person who is not familiar with such a colorful place asks himself. This is the name of the sunny island, lost on the world map. It is located close to the African coast and belongs to the archipelago administered by Spain. The island is home to approximately 130 thousand people. There are only two ways to get to Ibiza:

• Arriving by plane.
• Arrived by ferry.

Where Ibiza is located, in what country, you can understand by finding it on the map. Its location was discussed a little higher. Now a few words should be said about the climate of the Spanish island. It is quite soft and comfortable in these parts. In winter, the temperature here does not drop below fifteen degrees Celsius. This is one of the reasons why Russians prefer to wait out the cold season in warm Ibiza, forgetting about snow blizzards and unpleasant frosts. Hot days usually occur between June and September. At this time, real heat is observed in this corner of paradise, marking the beginning of the swimming season. At the same time, the temperature rarely rises above thirty degrees. Thanks to this feature, both island residents and tourists feel quite comfortable on it.

The emergence of the island and its history

The area of ​​Ibiza is not that big. It reaches only about 500 square kilometers. People began to inhabit its territory in ancient times. The Carthaginians were the first to know about this paradise. This happened approximately seven centuries ago BC. They turned this place into a real shopping center, where many Mediterranean residents gathered. Therefore, it is not surprising that the island quickly attracted the interest of various conquerors who were accustomed to conquering little-known lands. It was quite easy to subjugate Ibiza, since it didn’t really belong to anyone.

In 123 BC the island became part of the Roman Empire. After some time, Arabs began to actively settle there. But they were never able to defend their own rights to this place. They had to give it up to the arriving Catalans. In these parts, an ancient cathedral still stands, which was built by representatives of the conquering people. They also gave new names to existing settlements that had managed to form before that time. But the Arabs were still not forgotten. Their culture still lives on in Ibiza, which the locals continue to inherit.

Today, all rights to own the island belong to the Spanish state. The local residents are among the peoples of this country. Therefore, the official language of Ibiza, like many other Balearic Islands, is Catalan.

Ideal place for tourism

Ibiza is difficult to compare with other islands popular among travelers. After all, everything here is unique. Spending time in these parts leaves a special impression on tourists. That's why they come back here again and again. The landscapes here are especially unusual. The combination of clean beaches, clear water and bright sun is simply perfect. The green vegetation that covers most of the island is also pleasing to the eye.

There are two main central cities on the island. This is Ibiza and a town called San Antonio. Every tourist should visit here. The residents of these cities managed to preserve the spirit of history in them, while adding modern details to it. In the local narrow streets you can see fashionable shops with beautiful clothes. San Antonio has a great waterfront. There are yachts of influential people here: businessmen, movie and sports stars. And if you’re lucky, tourists may encounter real celebrities who also came here for a quality holiday away from big cities.

Ibiza offers its guests a huge amount of exciting entertainment that is difficult to refuse. Night discos are especially popular here. Club parties take place almost every night. Those who like a more relaxing holiday can simply stroll along the embankments or take an interesting excursion to the most interesting places in the city. After all, you can’t visit an unfamiliar place and not get acquainted with its attractions. Without such a cultural pastime, a vacation can hardly be called complete.

Young people prefer to come here. Also, tickets to Ibiza are often purchased by spouses with children. Both families and young people will be offered the most suitable types of recreation that will be interesting and incredibly exciting. After this, tourists will want to spend their next vacation in this paradise.

What to eat in Ibiza

The island is crowded with all kinds of cafeterias, bars and restaurants. Each establishment offers visitors to get acquainted with a specific cuisine. It will be especially interesting for real gourmets who like to try something new to look into such places. Local chefs are not limited to Mediterranean dishes. If desired, travelers will be able to find a cafe that serves treats traditional to their home country.

So-called English breakfasts are popular in Ibiza. They include toast, eggs and bacon and strong coffee. You can refresh yourself with such a set in almost any public institution.

The main attractions of the island

It is recommended to set aside a few days of your vacation for a walk through the memorable places of Ibiza, where its main attractions are located. Special escorted excursions are offered for tourists. You can also go on such a trip on your own, if you are not afraid of getting lost by mistake in an unfamiliar area.

Every tourist should visit the most ancient part of the island, called Dalt Vila. On its territory there is a unique museum of modern art. The Cathedral is also located here.

One of the most beautiful caves on the island is Can Marsa. There is a museum inside it. To view all its exhibits, a traveler will need at least half an hour. It also doesn't hurt to visit the local vineyards to taste the most delicious wine in the world. Tourists also often visit the hippie market. In this place you can buy unusual things that will become a wonderful souvenir.

It’s not for nothing that Ibiza is called the place where the most colorful parties take place that never end. It gives every guest the opportunity to feel real freedom, to forget about the hated rules, and just live for their own pleasure for at least a couple of days. This island seems to transport you into a fairy tale that you will never want to leave. Every traveler must visit this wonderful place. Ibiza will change the usual idea of ​​relaxation and entertainment. Here the dreams in which many of us imagine our ideal life really come true.

“Island of Besa” - this is what the ancient Romans, Arabs and residents of Carthage called Ibiza in different languages. The Demon did not mean Satan, whose religious cult arose hundreds of years later, but the ancient Egyptian god of eroticism and entertainment. Perhaps this is why the island of Ibiza is now one of the most popular youth resorts. The administrative capital is the city of Ibiza, where the bulk of architectural and historical attractions are concentrated, which attracts tourists no less than the beach areas of the island.

Geographic coordinates of Ibiza

It is quite difficult for an uninitiated person to find where Ibiza is located on the map. However, this can still be done - if you look a little to the west of Spain, you can see the Belearic Archipelago, consisting of three islands - Menorca, Mallorca and Ibiza itself, which on the map is the smallest in area in this group. Difficulties with the search are caused by the fact that Ibiza is sometimes not indicated on the world map, as well as the rest of the islands of the Belearic Archipelago. Meanwhile, its location is much more advantageous than that of the Canary Islands, since on the map Ibiza is much closer to mainland Spain. Island coordinates: 38, 54 N. and 1.25 W.

Climate and holiday opportunities in Ibiza

The subtropical zone provides wonderful opportunities for recreation all year round. Of course, from October to May it is quite cool on the island and you won’t be able to have a full-fledged holiday at sea, but it is at this time that the island is visited by those who like to relax in nature, and not in a club. A special peak of “winter holidays” occurs during the period of Catholic Easter.

The club life of the island begins in May. Precipitation is very rare, sunny days and the absence of scorching heat make the island the best vacation spot for young people. Between July and September the heat intensifies. After its decline, the velvet season begins until November. It is at the end of this month that the holiday season closes and only a small part of the hotels and bars remain open on the island. However, there is one year-round club, Pacha.

In the summer, life in Ibiza is especially lively - a large number of clubs are open, and the bulk of tourists are young people. For lovers of such a holiday, summer is the best time to visit the island. By the way, it’s not for nothing that Ibiza is considered the gay capital of Europe; people with non-traditional orientation are treated absolutely normally on the island, which makes it popular among this category of the population.

If you want to know more about Ibiza and Spain in general, read the article:.

For those who prefer a family vacation, it is recommended to visit the island during the velvet season, when all the clubbers have gone home, electronic music no longer sounds from each establishment and you can calmly admire nature, enjoy your vacation, meditate, watch migratory birds and just relax away from the bustle of the city.

First of all, it is worth remembering where Ibiza is located - it is one of the most popular resorts in the world, so it is worth booking a hotel room in advance so that you do not have to urgently look for a place to stay. If the city of Ibiza is chosen as your vacation destination, you should remember in advance that everything is much more expensive in the capital, including souvenirs. For shopping, it is best to go to the small town of Santa Eulalia, located nearby. In addition to souvenirs, this locality is famous for its stores of designer clothing, fashionable accessories for leisure and club wear.

It’s worth choosing a city for your vacation in advance and the places you plan to visit during the process. One of the best options would be to search on forums about Ibiza, where there are photos of hotels, customer reviews and other necessary information. It is worth knowing in which country Ibiza is located - this island belongs to the territory of Spain; to visit it, compatriots will need to apply for a visa at the appropriate embassy. Of course, if you go on a tour package, the travel company will take care of the necessary documents, saving the tourist from having to deal with this matter himself for a small amount.

It is recommended to visit the administrative center of the island - Ibiza, where everything you need for traveling around the island is located: car rental, water transport, and also guides and excursion organizers provide their services. Of course, all this will require additional costs.

Many people ask questions - Ibiza, where is it and how much money will you need to take with you? Recently, the island has become a popular resort, and accordingly, prices here are quite high. According to people who have visited Ibiza, in order to feel confident, you need about 100 euros a day for pocket money. It costs from 70 euros per day to rent a room. If a tourist, in addition, needs transport, then he will need at least another 250 euros per week for an inexpensive car. As you can see, vacation is quite an expensive pleasure. However, almost every day another material about Ibiza appears on the Internet, with photos and videos about the happy days spent. And those who want to truly take a break from the conventions of everyday life flock to this hospitable island.

Rules of conduct are limited, perhaps, only by the criminal code. The form of clothing does not matter; there are establishments and beaches that you can visit without it at all. Some clubs, however, maintain a certain tribute to decency, limiting themselves to awards for the most striking and interesting costumes. During the summer season, many holidays, electronic music festivals, as well as various competitions and other entertainment events are held.

Moving and transporting Ibiza

If you look at where Ibiza is located on the map, you can understand that this island is not endowed with a large area. Accordingly, there are no extensive transport routes here, and are they even needed with 40 sq. km. Those who don't like the idea of ​​spending a lot of money on renting a car or boat can travel by bus. Tickets are inexpensive and are sold at special kiosks. Since it is already known which country Ibiza is located in, it is expected that not all tourists will be able to understand the native language of the island’s inhabitants. It is to facilitate communication that there are special signs in English, as well as schematic drawings. As practice shows, for most tourists this is more than enough to avoid getting lost and confusing the routes.

Renting a car may pose some difficulties. Ibiza, where there are a large number of car dealerships, imposes certain restrictions on the use of vehicles. Anyone wishing to rent a car will have to present an international driving license and a credit card with the required amount of deposit in the account. In addition, the driver must be over 21 years old.

Clothing and food in Ibiza

If you remember that Ibiza is located in the tropical zone on the world map, you should not be surprised that the island has a hot climate in the summer. There is practically no precipitation, so it is recommended to take only summer clothes in bright colors with you. It is best not to eat on the street, since not everyone likes the local cuisine. It is worth remembering that the clubs mainly serve drinks, so you will have to take care of food in advance. For example, if you buy a ticket, then you won’t even have to ask questions: “Ibiza - where is it?”, “how to apply for a visa,” “where to live?” But it is worth remembering that vouchers will cost significantly more than searching for a hotel on your own.

The best way to avoid unnecessary expenses is to be proactive. For example, before your trip, find out the location of Ibiza on the map, read information about holidays on the island, chat with people who have been there and listen to their recommendations regarding establishments and entertainment opportunities. Most hotels and clubs on the island have their own online resources, which provide detailed prices, which will make it possible to calculate exactly how much money you will need for your vacation. Thus, a holiday on the island will become a real holiday and will allow you to escape from everyday worries, completely immersing yourself in club life. Of course, if the tourist’s visit occurs precisely during this period of the year.
