When you read about an Ibiza holiday trendy nightclubs are the first thing that springs to mind. However there must be more to this Spanish Island than this? I did a little research into Ibiza’s other attractions and heritage and hiking appear to be two appealing alternatives (or additions to) all night clubbing.

Heritage

Large portions of Ibiza are registered as  UN World Heritage sites. Ibiza Old Town or Dalt Vila is a fine example of Renaissance military architecture. There are Phoenician ruins at Sa Calate and Puig Cemetery.

Ibiza’s UN World Heritage status is not only related to history but to it’s ecosystem which has developed through the interaction of the marine and coastal environment. Posidonia, a type of seagrass found only in the Mediterranean coast, thrives in Ibiza.

Hiking

Ibiza has many hiking trails. There’s a coastal Hiking Trail from Es Cavellet to Platja d’en Bossa. The St Agnes Hike takes you through a beautiful valley of almond trees.
