About Ibiza
Ibiza has become famous for its nightlife and electronic music, but the island has much more to offer than that alone! Its capital city has two main areas: Dalt Vila and Puerto Deportivo. Dalt Vila is an old neighborhood located in the upper part of the city, surrounded by a wall built in the sixteenth century to protect the city from the pirates and Ottomans. Its steep streets offer tourists a peaceful journey, in which small whitewashed houses accumulate until you reach the highest point, from which you can contemplate wonderful panoramic views. The neighborhood includes important points of interest such as the Catedral de la Virgen de las Nieves (Our Lady of the Snows Cathedral, built in the 13th century), the Plaza de la Vila, the Santo Domingo Church (built in the 16th century) and the Town Hall which is located in a former Dominican convent. The port area is one of the liveliest, as there are many bars, restaurants and shops which stay open until midnight.

The stands are piled high with authentic and retro items, everything from kaleidoscope kaftans to beads and bangles. Silke, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The market is full of creative artisans and artistes, not just selling their wares but performing music. It's an eclectic and electric experience for all the family.'A wide variety of products are on offer, from handstitched leather bags and a huge range of jewellery right through to homewares such as hand-woven baskets and art prints. Clothing is also highly sought-after, and there's no shortage of cool, beach-ready apparel. Prices are reasonable for such unique and often handcrafted items. Silke adds, ‘In 1973, the hotel invited hippy artisans to sell their wares to guests. Today, there are more than 450 stalls. You'll find stands selling white dresses and shirts – the typical Adlib Ibiza style, which was created during the hippy movement and is still very popular.'If you fancy just sitting back to soak up the atmosphere, there's food and drink for all tastes in the foodie areas. There are even activities for the kids and a playground for your little ones. Even if you're eyeing not buying, the psychedelic time travel is worth the visit alone.
