Ibiza - An Island To Forget Your Worries
Ibiza is famous the world over for being a party island, but it has a lot more to offer to visitors than just dancing away to the most famous DJs. As with all the Balearic Islands, it is a dependency of Spain and is the closest to the mainland at just over 100 miles away. It has around 125 miles of majestic coastline that is dotted with numerous tranquil coves and stunning beaches with perfectly clear water and golden sand.
Accommodation ranges from cheap and simple budget rooms to deluxe resorts and hotels, these can all be found both close to the shore and miles inland. The main tourist season is during the European summer at which time the lodgings may be full to capacity so it is best to book as far in advance as possible.
It was during the'90s that Ibiza's tourist numbers grew massively; this was at the same time as the advent of the dance scene. Today some of Europe's most famous bars and clubs can be found here attracting clientele from around the world. But apart from the partying there are many other pursuits and activities to keep visitors happy. It is possible to rent an old stone cottage in the middle of nowhere and slowly watch the days pass by. Also there are plenty of great walks to be had amongst olive groves, pine forests, and historic buildings.
Ibiza town is the largest on the island and has a unique charm that mixes a medieval feeling alongside superb restaurants and bars.
Every here there are around three hundred days of sunshine, with only a small number of rainy days. Luckily the cool and refreshing sea breeze helps it from getting uncomfortably hot. The winters are also a great time to visit as the temperature never drops as low as most of Europe.
Whenever you choose to come you will find the pace of life to be relaxed and stress free. It is for this reason many tourists choose to make a pilgrimage here every year.
