When you read about Ibiza trendy nightclubs are the first thing that springs to mind. However there must be more to this Spanish Island than this? I did a little research into Ibiza’s other attractions and heritage and hiking appear to be two appealing alternatives (or additions to) all night clubbing.
Heritage
Large portions of Ibiza are registered as UN World Heritage sites. Ibiza Old Town or Dalt Vila is a fine example of Renaissance military architecture. There are Phoenician ruins at Sa Calate and Puig Cemetery.

Ibiza’s UN World Heritage status is not only related to history but to it’s ecosystem which has developed through the interaction of the marine and coastal environment. Posidonia, a type of seagrass found only in the Mediterranean coast, thrives in Ibiza.
Hiking
Ibiza has many hiking trails. There’s a coastal Hiking Trail from Es Cavellet to Platja d’en Bossa.
