Ibiza, the party island
Posted by julia on 09 Feb 2007 | Tagged as: Fiesta!, beaches, cities to visit
Ibiza is often called the white Island for its typical architecture but it is mostly known as a party island. It all started back in the 1960´s when Ibiza became home to many hippies that made their home there, making nudist beaches a normal part of life. Nowadays, even though it still continues to be a town for the young to be wild and free, it offers a lot more than that for people of all ages this includes families.
There are two ways to get to Ibiza, you can take a boat there or simply fly in. Once there you can visit Ibiza’s historical center, located at the top of the hill and enclosed by town-walls where you can see the cathedral, Museum of Punic Art, and the archaeological museum. But, the beaches are the protagonist of this tiny island. Relax in any point you find and get ready to party if you are up for it. You will not be bored at any time.

It has recently been declared a government nature reserve and one could see why.
As you approach the 13 kilometer stretch of coastline that covers the Calpe region you start to get a peak of the peñón de Ifach and you can’t wait to get there and see it up close for yourself. Once there the views are extraordinary as is the entire quaint town. There are many restaurants and small cafes along the beach where you can enjoy the view from afar.
Calpe’s old town is becoming a favorite to many who visit the Costa Blanca due to its variety of amenities and activities. Centrally located it is a great spot to either start your day excursions or as your final destination. Believe me, you may not want to leave.
