Ibiza Holidays Take You to Some Fabulous Attractions
by Daisy Wilkinson Travel GuidesA 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.
