Ibiza - Formentera

About the destination: Once a haven for artists and flower children, Ibiza is now a summer retreat for Europe’s leisurely wealthy who, when they choose to wear anything at all, strut about town in fashionable, expensive attire. A constant whirl of social activity exists in the city and on the island, which you’ll either adore or detest. But partying is not all Ibiza has to offer. The town’s enchanting whitewashed old quarter, known as Dalt Vila, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999. Stroll up its narrow steep lanes to the cathedral and castle. The view of the walled city and the port is spectacular, especially at sunset. The island capital is located on the southeastern coast and is a delightful place brimming with stylish boutiques, swanky bars and an appealing marina lined with yachts and high-end cuisine, as well as the world famous super club Pacha. Ibiza offers endless possibilities for all types of travellers. Whether you’re there to dance till the wee hours, unwind on a beach or soak up some culture, Ibiza is a fantastic summer holiday destination.

About the destination: Formentera is the smallest and most southerly of the Balearic Islands of Spain. This wee island is one of the last remaining paradises of the Mediterranean. Its main attractions are its stunning beaches with crystal-clear waters and its untouched nature. The island is flat and sandy with magnificent, unspoilt beaches. There are a few places where the land rises to present spectacular cliffs to the sea. It is perfect for cycling, walking, snorkelling and sailing. Its cultural attractions include some megalithic sites, a roman road, some watch-towers, the 18th century chapel of Sant Francesc Xavier and a small Ethnological museum. Most of the small villages and even the capital, San Francesc Xavier, have a rural character. Only the town of Es Pujols is a wee bit more touristic. If you want to see Spain as it was before, then visit Formentera.
