Ibiza Holidays Take You to Some Fabulous Attractions

by Daisy Wilkinson Travel Guides

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.
