While this Balearic island is best known for its happening party scene, there’s so much more to uncover here, from its Unesco World Heritage Old Town to the hidden coves that are tucked into the coastline’s cliffs, and from authentic local eateries to the fine dining restaurants of five-star hotels. These are the best things to do in Ibiza.
Ibiza Town
Providing an insight into this island’s past as well as its cultural and culinary identity, Ibiza Town is an integral part of discovering the island. With around 2,500 years of history, the Unesco World Heritage Old Town—Dalt Vila—is celebrated for its historic architecture, and in particular the citadel’s castle, which now acts as a museum. The Mercat Vell or Old Market, which originates from 1873, is also located here, selling cheese, herbs, wine and olive oil among other local produce.
Overseas destinations cater to Chinese tourists; Xinhua
Ibiza, an island off the east coast of Spain, welcomed 150 Chinese tourists earlier this year, a rare sight for locals. Encouraged by their arrival, Gloria Corral Joven, head of the local tourism bureau, led a team to Shanghai in mid-November to promote Ibiza as a destination for Chinese tourists.
“We are building a Chinese website, which will be open to the public early next year,” Joven says.
Ibiza was one of 18 exhibitors from Spain, an emerging destination for Chinese tourists, at the Shanghai International Tourism Fair, which has just ended.
The fair attracted more than 2,500 exhibitors from 106 countries and regions, and is one of the largest tourist events hosted in Asia.
“China is a very important market for Spain,” says Rafael Chamorro, an official from the Spain National Administration of Tourism.
