Ibiza  is an island and town located in the Mediterranean Sea about 80 km off the coast of Spain. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands in Spain. With Formentera, it is one of the two Pine Islands or Pityuses. Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan:Vila d'Eivissa or simply Vila), Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany..

The island of Ibiza is well-known for its summer club parties which attract large numbers of tourists, but the island and the Spanish Tourist Office have been working to shed the prevailing "sex-and-alcohol" image in order to promote more family-oriented tourism. Noted clubs include Space, Pacha, Privilege , Amnesia, DC10, Eden, Es Paradis, and Cafe Del Mar. It is also home to the 'West End' party district of Sant Antoni, a popular stop for many tourists.

The 1960's saw Ibiza start to boom with the 'flower power' revolution which saw stacks of forward thinking hippies from across Europe to descend on the baleric island, attracted by its laid back attitude, unspoilt natural beauty and probably its great weather!

The 70's saw the real arrival of the tourist boom which has essentially continued ever since. It also saw the opening of the discotheques which would define its history up to the present day. Rave made it big in the 80's, baleric house really emerged in the 90's and today an eclectic mix of muscial styles and people make it a massive tourist industry and one of the most facinating (and mindblowing) places on the planet.

One of the joys of being on this island is that, no matter where you are, especially when driving, you are never far from one of the many wonderful beaches or secluded little coves.
