How to travel à Ibiza
How to go alone
In high tourist season a trip to Ibiza is not improvised. You will have difficulty finding accommodation on site unless you move away from the seaside resorts! The flights (Ibiza is connected to several French cities) are also taken by storm. Otherwise, there is no reason to organize your own stay in Ibiza. You can rent a car, go in search of a remote accommodation or a small lost restaurant and get away from the most touristic sites.
How to go on a tour
Ibiza being one of the most touristic destinations in Europe, there is no problem to find organized trips. They are generally turnkey stays, accommodation and full or semi-complete board. The formula is well established and should be adopted if you don't want to be afraid of the community and want to take advantage of some promotions (but prices should be compared because some really inflate the prices in summer). The hotel services are of quality.
How to get around
45 km long, 25 km wide, the island is quickly covered by two main roads that are quite easy to drive on - except during traffic jams - and by secondary roads that are narrower and more hilly but that open onto wilder landscapes. Rent a car if you want to enjoy its villages, small restaurants, panoramas and especially to isolate yourself. Be careful, parking in the tourist areas is sometimes a problem (expensive and full!). The island is served by bus.

Discover Ibiza
What a daunting task it would be to sum up all the mysterious beauty, diverse landscapes and historical influences that have made and continue to make Ibiza what it is today! Blond sandy or rocky coves, picturesque little fishing ports, gentle Mediterranean sunshine, bucolic agricultural hinterland, dynamic towns with a rich historical heritage, subtle marine gastronomy, fiesta until the end of the night... The magnetism of the White Isle is nothing new: it has fascinated many civilizations and continues to exert its indescribable power of attraction even today. Let's dig a little deeper and try to paint as faithful a portrait as possible of this unique piece of land, at once rural and modern, Catalan and cosmopolitan. The dossiers presented here dare to take a broad view of the island's DNA, and delve into the history of clubbing in Ibiza.
The 12 keywords à Ibiza
Ad-Lib
This fashion was born in the 1970s in Ibiza, promoted by the late Smilja Mihailovitch. A contraction of the Latin expression ad libitum ("take the side you like"), Ad-Lib fashion, a harmonious blend of elegance and sophistication, concentrates casualness and freshness, evoking the brightness and youthfulness of Ibiza.
Balearic Beat
Born in the 1980s in nightclubs and other wild parties on the beaches of Ibiza, Balearic Beat, also known as Balearic Dance, is a style of electronic music supposedly discovered by English DJs. With its thick, hypnotic layers, it became popular in the island's clubs in the 1990s.
Chiringuito
They used to be bars where fishermen came to refresh themselves before or after their shift... And the evenings were pretty drunk! Nowadays, a chiringuito is a beach bar serving food, drinks and cocktails in the evening, set to festive or chill-out music. Ibiza is home to many chiringuitos, from the rustic to the trendy.
DJ
Ibiza's clubs make it their biggest advertisement: who gets to be the best DJ... of the evening. For many years now, the Ibiza DJ Awards have rewarded the best DJ of the year. But in addition to the nightclubs, most of the trendy bars and beach huts have their own resident DJs and their own discographies.
Hippies
Hippies arrived on the archipelago in the middle of the 20th century and left their mark. A weekly fixture on the island of Ibiza are the hippie markets, including Es Canar and Las Dalias, selling handicrafts as well as imports from Asia and India. Formentera also has several markets.
Hierbas
As typical of Ibiza as it gets, Hierbas Ibicencas are an alcoholic concoction made from a multitude of macerated herbs. Produced by hand for many years, it is consumed as a digestive throughout the island. In addition to gastronomy, Hierbas are also used in the manufacture of cosmetics.
Legends
Ibiza's history is full of accounts of strange cults, witch flights and UFO sightings. Everyone has their own version and adds their own personal touch! A case in point is the cult of the goddess Tanit. As the island has been occupied by many different civilizations, its folklore reflects a great cultural mix.
Pacha
The Pacha story began in 1967 on the beaches of Sitges, south of Barcelona, when Ricardo Urgell opened his first club. Five more nightclubs soon graced the Catalan coast, before Ibiza's famous Pacha was born in 1973! Today, Pacha is a franchise with a worldwide reputation.
Pityuses
The Pityuse islands include Ibiza and Formentera, as well as several smaller islets such as Espalmador and Espardell. The name Pityuse probably comes from pitys, which means pine in ancient Greek. In ancient times, the Pityuses were clearly differentiated from the rest of the Balearic Islands. Mallorca and Menorca formed the Gymesias.
Podenco
The podenco is a small greyhound-like dog probably imported by the Phoenicians. Athletic and affectionate, it has become one of the symbols of Ibiza. Known as a primitive breed and little-known by the general public, Podenco populations are declining and are mainly found on the Mediterranean coast, from Valencia to Provence.
Posidonia
These aquatic plants, which create a rich ecosystem, are partly responsible for the transparency of the water. Almost 100 million years old, it covers a large part of the Mediterranean seabed, but it is in the area covered by the Ses Salines Natural Park (classified by UNESCO in 1999) that the most extensive meadows grow.
Its saltworks
Ibizan salt, renowned for its purity, comes from this nature reserve stretching from Ibiza to Fomentera. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 for its exceptional beauty, the salt flats are also a special protection area for birds, serving as a migration stopover for herons and flamingos in particular.
You are from here, if...
You speak Catalan, or at least Spanish. If you know two words of Spanish, don't hesitate to use them! In Ibiza, people are used to tourists and will appreciate anyone who makes the effort to speak even a little Spanish.
You won't be speaking to (almost) anyone! As a rule, Spaniards abhor the use of "vouvoie" and banish the word usted (the polite "you") from their vocabulary. However, it's a good idea to be formal with older people and employees.
You respect others as you respect yourself. This is a particularity of the islands: in the towns and villages of Ibiza, everyone strolls serenely without being judged on their appearance, religion or customs.
You respect the environment by not leaving plastic or cigarette butts lying around. Nature is sacred in the Balearics.
You don't hesitate to add an ice cube to your café au lait. It's the famous "tallat amb gel".
