Ibiza
"A legendary destination where top resorts and traditions still bloom side by side, Ibiza makes everyone feel welcome. Buzzing nightlife, awesome beaches and rural beauty, this energetic island has it all." A small island with an enormous reputation, Ibiza hosts some of the world’s best nightlife and is one of the most beautiful of the Balearics. Green hills and open plains become golden sand bathed in the warm Mediterranean, and as resorts flourish on the coast, traditional life still thrives inland. Current weather in Ibiza

If this is not your scene however, never fear as there is life beyond San Antonio once the sun sets. More information San Antonio Playa D' en BossaOnce thought sacred by the Carthaginians, people now make pilgrimages to Ibiza’s shore for a very different type of worship – sun, sand, music and fashion have become the new religion of today’s visitors. First made fashionable by the hippy generation of the 1960s, Ibiza’s popularity has continued to grow, but not at the expense of the island’s traditions and natural beauty. Its peasant past is not forgotten, captured in the folk dances you can see performed across the island. It’s hard to believe that on an island that can attracts the some of wealthiest and most fashionable people in the Western world, women in traditional Ibecian dress can still be seen collect almonds from the orchards. However, in the rural villages nestled among pine covered hills and fertile valleys, that is exactly how people continue to live, regardless of the bustling resorts on the coasts below. Ibiza has a home for every kind of holidaymaker, for those looking for a carefree family break, a hideaway immersed in local culture or bright lights and glamour. From the cosmopolitan Ibiza town where private yachts anchor in front of Gothic churches, to the endlessly energetic San Antonio, to the picturesque and calm resorts such as Portinatx, Ibiza really is the island with it all.

RestaurantsIbiza attracts people from all walks of life and so caters for all kinds of tastes. The native cuisine is much like the rest of the Mediterranean, with fish and seafood dominating many menus. For a uniquely Ibecian dish, try sofrit pages, potato and red peppers stewed in olive oil, or esta fado de buey, a kind of beef stew. Resorts are peppered with restaurants and streets offer up many pavement cafes where you can sip coffee in the sunshine. With international cuisine served everywhere, your only decision is how you want to dine – in the up market, chic restaurants in Ibiza Town, in a beamed medieval building, or something relaxed along the seafront. Of course, along with the clubbing culture comes fast food and there’s plenty of places to grab a bite in San Antonio. Sip local spirits, flavoured with aniseed and herbs, the most famous of which is hierbas.
