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.
