Ibiza Holidays Allow You to Explore Fantastic Attractions
A beautiful Spanish island
located in the Mediterranean Sea, Ibiza is the third-largest of all the
Balearic Islands and is renowned for its exciting nightlife and EDM (Electronic
Dance Music) events. Some of the island's prominent clubs and bars have become
extremely popular with the tourists who visit the island quite often. Those
who've had enough of the wild parties and wish to spend some quiet moments away
from the crowds can head to the island's gorgeous beaches. Families and elderly
tourists can have some interesting things to explore in Ibiza Town. They can
also choose to tour the rural interior of this Spanish island.
One of the places you'll get
to explore during your Ibiza
holidays is Dalt Villa, which is the oldest and the highest part of Ibiza
Town. It is surrounded by strong fortifications that were constructed during
the 16th century by the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. The walls offered great
resistance to the attacks by the Berber pirates and other invading forces.
While touring this part of Ibiza, you can also visit the seven bastions. Among
them is the Santa Lucia bastion, which gives you the chance to savour awe-inspiring
views of the harbour and the old fishing district.
Yet another interesting
attraction on this Spanish island is the Ibiza Cathedral or the Cathedral of
Our Lady of the Snows. The history of this cathedral dates back to the 13th
century when it was first established. Over the years, several changes were
made to the original structure, resulting in the existing building. The
deteriorating condition of the church in the 18th century led the authorities
to carry out some heavy refurbishment works. You can witness many works of art
while on your visit to this cathedral, such as the Gothic monstrance made in
the late 14th century by Francesc Marti.
When you're on the lookout for
beaches, don't forget to visit Playa d’en Bossa, which is the longest on this
Spanish island. During the summer season, it becomes no less than a paradise
for the young crowds. There are several places where you can get some delicious
local delicacies when you begin to feel hungry. You'll find an excellent
combination of beaches and nightclubs upon visiting San Antonio, the
second-largest town of Ibiza. The promenade located in this town would be the
best place to enjoy your favourite drink and watch some delightful sights of
the surroundings.
The northern tip of the island
of Ibiza is home to a pine forest and farmland along with small holiday
communities scattered around the coves. You can wear a sturdy pair of shoes and
hike on the trail, which begins from Portinatx and goes all the way to Punta
Moscarter Lighthouse. This lighthouse built in the 1970s has a height of 52
metres, making it the tallest man-made structure in this part of the world. The
trek, which takes you through junipers and pine shrubs, can be quite
challenging. However, the photos that you get to take from the headland would
make the entire journey worthwhile.
