Do you need to enjoy the blue sky and the warm sun ? Ibiza is a fabulous destination to relax. What can you do in Ibiza? Ibiza Cathedral: Inside the walls is a steep warren of alleys that you’ll have a lot of fun exploring. These are packed with galleries, boutiques and local amenities like bakeries. Occasionally they’ll open out on to charming old squares like Plaza de Sa Carrosa and Plaza de la Vila. At the very top of the old city is the cathedral, which sits next to a scenic outlook over the water. Potter around inside for a few minutes to see the gothic gold and silver monstrance, dating to 1399, and the 14th and 15th-century gothic panel paintings.
The resort of Cala Llonga boasts a wide and sandy white beach, views over a beautiful bay and even hills covered in pine trees to frame the scenery. This is perhaps the most family-oriented place to visit in Ibiza, which means that you’ll find plenty of families with young children in the area. The main beach even offers a playground and a miniature amusement park to keep kids having fun throughout the vacation. Cala Llonga is also situated just 10 minutes from Ibiza Town, which means you can easily head away from the beach and explore the historic attractions any time.
Dalt Vila (meaning upper town), is Ibiza’s old town and is on a hill, contained within ancient walls, and looking out to sea. The views from the ramparts are stunning, and the numerous winding, cobbled streets and steps lead towards the cathedral at the top. The main gateway into the old town is up a ramp and through an old draw-bridge. The area is not simply a tourist attraction but is still partly residential, and offers tantalising glimpses of real life through the occasional open door. A fascinating area to wander around during the day or evening, with many little shops, galleries, museums, and restaurants in the narrow streets.
Of course, the absolute best way to explore anywhere is to nab yourself a local to show you the ropes. Or maybe, you’re after some backpacking pals to explore the island with.
