Ibiza is the closest Balearic island to the Iberian Peninsula. There is a lot of entertainment for every taste. It is here that youth companies from all over the world come in search of adventure and thrills.
On this rocky island, where the soil is poor and rocky, the smallest piece of fertile land has been used for centuries, arranging terraces in hollows on the slopes of hills, steeps hanging over streams. From a bird's eye view, it seems that the whole island is drawn with lines of low stone walls. No less peculiar are the traditional houses of Ibisians - "Finki", with flat roofs, narrow windows in thick walls, balconies, balustrades and rectangular ledges. In summer they keep cool, and in winter they protect against the wind blowing from the sea.
Until the 18th century, pagan traditions were strong in Ibiza. Trying to eradicate them, the Catholic Church resettled the residents of Ibiza, whose "Finques" were scattered throughout the island, to parishes based around the new churches. Therefore, most villages here bear the names of saints - patrons of parishes.
In the late 1960s, Ibiza became famous for the hippies, who turned it into a center of counterculture. Since then, the city has not taken off festive outfits. The nightlife of Ibiza deserves special mention. The fame of the discos here spread all over the world. For European youth, this is the most party place on earth and many come here for the weekend to "break away" to the fullest.
But not only nightlife attracts many tourists to Ibiza. There are many wonderful beaches on the island. Their total length is about 18 km. The best beaches are Talamanca, Figueretas, Playa d'en Bossa, Portinatx, Puerto de San Miguel. Exclusive Ibiza - musical beaches.
