Ibiza: Ibiza Town
built 646 days ago
The old medieval district of Ciudad de Ibiza (Ibiza Town), the capital of the island, sports narrow cobblestone streets, picturesque whitewashed houses and Gothic buildings around courtyards bright with blooming geraniums and bougainvillea. The old town, enclosed by historic walls and entered through the Puerta de las Tablas, contains some interesting sights, most noteworthy of which is the Archaeological Museum. The museum contains artefacts from prehistoric sites on the Balearic Islands, dating as far back as the Punic period between the 5th and 7th centuries BC. Also in the old town is the cathedral with its 10th-century Gothic tower and 18th-century Baroque nave.

Ibiza enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and milder winters. The summer season runs from June to September and is popular with families and young people taking advantage of the fantastic beaches and legendary nightlife. Out of season, the temperature remains mild, and the island, although much quieter is popular with visitors who come to discover a different Ibiza; one of sleepy provincial towns, unspoilt sandy beaches and remote rocky coves. Throughout the winter months the island of Ibiza is a paradise for walking, riding and swimming.

Pancha in Ibiza Town brings all of Ibiza's groups together, from hippies to millionaires. They mingle among the 15 bars, one of which is an open-air garden patio overlooking the town. Well, okay, the millionaires hang out among themselves in the VIP area off the main room. Pancha is popular enough to be one of the island's few bars to stay open year-round.

Ibiza offers a wealth of shopping opportunities, from smart designer outlets and chic boutiques to colourful local market stalls. The Paseo Vara de Rey in Ibiza Town has a variety of shops and designer outlets, as well as plenty of excellent bars and restaurants. By contrast, the ‘Hippy Markets' provide the perfect opportunity to sample a much loved aspect of Ibizan culture, selling local crafts, leather goods and African and Asian jewellery and trinkets.Many shops still close for the traditional siesta from 1.30pm till 4.30pm but stay open late into the evening.

The island's main town is the port of Ciudad de Ibiza - known as Eivissa to the locals and Ibiza Town to the Brits. Located in the south, it is the centre of the island's nightclub scene and has a lively marina and quaint old quarter with some great restaurants. It lies close to the beautiful beaches of Figueretes, Es Cavallet and Ses Salines. San Antonio is the main resort town of the island and is blighted with high-rise hotels and apartment blocks though it is making efforts to clean up its tarnished image. The main attractions for many British holidaymakers are the two clubs of Es Paradis and Eden but there are ... some beautiful coves nearby with glorious beaches. It's best to get there early to reserve a spot.
