Ibiza & Formentera

Ibiza, along with Mallorca and Menorca make up the three main islands of what is collectivelly known as the Balearics.

It is the closest island to the Peninsula and together with its neighbour Formentera, is known as the Pitiusas or “Islas de Pinos” from the ancient Greek. Tourism has provided a boom over the past 50 years due to its warm and pleasant climate all year round.

Ibiza is particularly famous for its nightlife whereas Mallorca attracts the more cosmopolitan person, the King and Queen of Spain for example - spend their holidays in Mallorca; and Menorca is chosen by tourists who require a more quiet approach.

Gastronomy The Balearics have a rich gastronomic heritage and each island provides its own subtle variation on a cuisine that may be considered Mediterranean. Fish and seafood based dishes are very important, given they are in plentiful supply and of great quality along the coast. La caldereta de langosta (a lobster dish) is the most outstanding. Other typical dishes are rice with lobster and tuna with mayonnaise.

Fish dishes, in fact, predominate in Ibiza. Of note is la burrida de ratjada, boiled skate seasoned with ground almonds, Ibiza lobster with squid and el guisat de marisc, a tasty stew made with a variety of fish and seafood. Ibiza also has a very strong herb liqueur that should be watered down with ice.

History Historically the Balearics can be considered as one. Ibiza has an obvious Phoenician, Carthaginian and Arab influence. Because of its geographical strategic location - the Mediterranean sea-routes - these islands were centres of trade. Piracy was brought to an end in the region when the Romans conquered Mallorca and established themselves there for six centuries.

At the beginning of the 10th century, during the period of the Cordoba caliphs, the Vandals and Moslems came from the north but were considered the islands inopportune. Nevertheless, the Arab influence in agriculture and commerce, as well as the Roman influence on architecture, are quite evident. The islands are abundantly sunny and ideal for tourism.

Famous 19th century people who visited these islands, such as George Sand, Chopin and the archduke Luis Salvador of Austria show the beauty of the islands in their works. The existing travel guides also testify to this beauty. Menorca, on the other hand, maintains its unequivocal 18th century British ambience.

Monuments Ibiza, the capital, is perched atop a promontory that dominates the entire port. Rising above the Upper Town are the twin outlines of the Cathedral and Castle. Mergeformatinet is particularly interesting for a quite unique historical remain - the Cueva des Cuieram caves with a Carthaginian temple inside.

The inhabitants of San José are proud to possess possibly the most beautiful church on the island. Activities Mergeformatinet (Ibiza) is particularly interesting for a quite unique historical remain - the Cueva des Cuieram caves with a Carthaginian temple inside.

Needless to say, the island provides excellent facilities for water based sports such as sailing and surfing.
