Ibiza travel wonder in the Balearic Islands, Spain |
|
|
Why Ibiza The Mediterranean island of Ibiza off the coast of mainland Spain hosts one of the world's most hyperactive, packed party scenes.
Ibiza
Throngs dance nonstop from dusk to dawn (and sometimes beyond) in Ibiza's many huge and small clubs energized by gifted deejays. The clubs attract the young and beautiful - and a few won't let you in if you're not.
Of course, Ibiza is not just for young clubbers. Other travelers come to enjoy its generous sunshine and pleasant sandy beaches. D'Alt Vila is another attraction. It's the old, walled, hilltop quarter of Ibiza Town with narrow streets, good nightlife, interesting restaurants, small shops, nice accommodations, and an 11th century cathedral bell tower (see top of photo). The castle walls provide a stunning view of the buildings and sea below.
This town on the other side of the island also has nightlife, dining, hotels and rental apartments. But expect a different atmosphere because it caters to mass-market package tourists.
Vacationing families seeking a less hectic Ibiza should consider the less developed northern coasts. The seaside village of Portinatx is a popular choice.
Ibiza became internationally infamous in the 1960s when it became a hippy mecca. The island's hippy markets are vestiges. They sell an eclectic assortment of goods to tourists.
