1. Take a Trip Cala Llonga:
Famous for being a quiet, but beautiful
town, Cala Llonga has the most fantastic mountainous views and caves that lead
to the beach with its gorgeous clear blue sea. The outskirts of the town are
said to be quite steep, so venturing out my car or coach is probably your best
bet. But once you get out there, it really is worth it. Take a small hike to
the older parts of Ibiza and take in the striking mixture of natural scenery
and old-fashioned houses and buildings.
2. Eat at a
Restaurant in Sa Penya:
It can be hard to find a couple of great
restaurants on holiday, but somewhere that serves superb food and gives you a
little taster of real Spanish culture isn’t a bad place to start. Sa Penya’s restaurants are situated in
the Fisherman’s Quarter of the main
town, along the authentic cobbled, narrow streets. The Fisherman’s Quarter is said to be where the beautiful people hang
out. A great ‘Studio Restaurante’ serves
real Spanish food every day and has a dazzling view and atmosphere.
3. Shop at the Hippy Market:
Think Brick
Lane’s good for picking up a bargain? Think again. Hit up the chilled out,
cheap and cheerful Hippy market of Ibiza, with their bright and beautiful
goods round every corner. La Dalias Hippy
Market is renowned for selling some stunning work from the island’s best
underground artists, sculptors and clothes-makers. Every Saturday, the Arabic
and Spanish inspired styles of the clothing and accessories make for great
little trinkets, treats or souvenirs to bring home for yourself or a friend.
Set in the grounds of a restaurant, the market is home to around 100 stalls,
along with bars and DJs who play a mixture of Spanish, American and British
music long into the wonderfully warm evenings. And at tourist-friendly prices,
what’s not to love?
4. Visit Cap Blank Aquarium
Ever wanted to see a live lobster? Set foot
inside this hidden gem for just €3, and discover what the inside of
perfectly-formed caves look like. The aquarium
is set inside an old smugglers’ cave and is full of countless varieties of
animal and plant, and makes a great, chilled out day trip. Cap Blank also rehabilitates injured or ill animals before they are
released back into the sea. The cave is also more like an enclosure for the
fish and other sea creatures, making it less of a zoo, and more of a natural
wildlife park for the public to enjoy. There is a bar inside the aquarium, as
well as huge diving boards for launching yourself into the depths of the ocean
if you’re that way inclined.
5. Learn to Dive at Arenal Diving Centre:
With the party island of Ibiza floating on
the dazzling Mediterranean waves, why
not take a trip to San Antonio’s Arenal
Diving Centre, which even caters
for unqualified beginners. Even if you’ve never dived before, you’ll be teamed
up with an instructor, taught all the basics and be able to dive like a pro in
no time! Beginners’ courses last for just 3 hours, and there are even secret pools
for those who aren’t up for diving into the depths. The course costs €65, and
