There is plenty to do on Ibiza during the pleasant cooler
months, away from the heat of July and August. The sea is still very
warm to enjoy swimming and Water Sports.
There are 5 stables on the Island for those of you who like to go
Horse Riding, plus Walking and Cycling with
routes all ready for you to follow. It is delightful to drive / walk /
ride around the country side, especially in the Spring, as we have a
glorious display of wild flowers, at their best in April / May to the
beginning of June. Ibiza’s scenery is spectacular around the coast, and
tranquil with the atmosphere of times gone by, in some of the interior
villages such as San Mateo.
Also we have a very good Golf Course and lots of boat
charter for those who like Sailing.
Eating and drinking is a favourite pastime here on Ibiza
and we have a wonderful selection of specialist restaurants that cater
to all tastes in foods and wines. Whilst out and about you can sample
some of the Islands well known typical, local cuisine restaurants and
tapas bars, either for lunch or in the evening, and have the best of the
service during the quieter times.
You can spend time relaxing in Spa’s, joining in some
yoga classes, having massage and all
manner of beauty treatments and if you’re feeling
energetic enough, there are plenty of gym’s to choose
from.
We also have plenty of Culture and History
including beautiful churches, buildings, museums, art, dance and music.
All through the year we have an abundance of festivals,
all with folk-dancing, music, games, exhibitions, entertainment, live
shows, parades of classic cars, motor bikes, horse and carts and most
ending with a firework display. Some are listed below that you might be
interested in being here for. It is a good way to mix in with the
locals, they love it and all turn out to enjoy a day of having fun with
family & friends.
Cycling and Walking
The Ministry of Tourism on the Island have worked well to put
cycling on the list of attractions. There are now 20 planned routes
through our beautiful country side or around cliffs and beaches of our
coast. You will see some of Ibiza’s ancient monuments and buildings
including wells, watch towers and windmills.
On all the routes, you will see an information board which
shows the route, points of interest and the gradient, something you need
to know considering our hills!
All of the routes are good for walking. Some of the
routes pass cafes and shops where you can get refreshment, or you can
take a picnic. When you’re passing fruit trees, the general rule is
that you can pick the fruit as long as you eat it there.
The local magazine, Ibiza Now, has published 3 booklets on
routes for walks, each book taking a different area of Ibiza. The
routes are all marked at various points to keep you on the right path.
They also have a small book on the Wild Flowers of Ibiza. There is also a
walkers group that meet every Wednesday and are led on a planned walk
for the day. You can ask for the leaflets in any of the town halls or
tourist information offices. |
