1.2 Beyond clubland: Ibiza by day

By: Jarrett Altrogge

Ibiza is an island that invites exploration. The UNESCO World Heritage Site status of parts of Ibiza has contributed to a conservation policy that has protected the island from over-development, so that there are plenty of natural attractions to discover, and activities to partake of during the day - beyond the beaches and the clubs. Here are a few recommendations.

The Salt Flats: ''Las Salinas'' are at the southern tip of the island, and are a photo opportunity waiting to happen, particularly at sunset. The salt fields are lakes that dry up in the summer and leave a sparkling, crystalline layer of salt, which has been harvested by humans for over 2000 years.

The south of the island has dramatic mountainous hills that afford great views. The village of San Jose in these hills is a good target to aim for in when touring in your hire car, with a coastal route that passes some 80km of beaches and coves.

As well as hosting some of the islands largest and most famous clubs in the new part of town, Ibiza Town has a rich history that has thankfully been well preserved. Dalt Vila, the Old Town area of Ibiza, has medieval fortifications and winding cobbled streets ? be advised that this terrain is not kind on those wearing high heels!

There is a Cathedral situated at the top of the Old Town, and as you reach the battlements surrounding the Cathedral, you will kick yourself if you have not brought a camera ? the views can be breathtaking.

Near Puerto de San Miguel beach there is an underground cave complex, the Can Marca Caves. A good place to take refuge from the sun if you have overdone the sun-bathing, these caves can be explored with the assistance of a guide, and host a regular Music and Light Show.

The clear waters around Ibiza are perfect for diving, and there are a good selection of established diving schools on the island to choose from. Recent attractions include swimming round the sunken wreck of the Don Pedro, a cargo ship that sunk, close to Ibiza, in 2007.

There are also a range of options for hiring a car to enable you to properly explore Ibiza, and this is easier than ever thanks to the internet. A simple search on car hire Ibiza airport shows up local outfits like Ritmo Cars who hire cars direct from the airport, so that you need waste none of your precious holiday time when you step off of the plane.
