We recommend that you visit Ibiza, its old town, Dalt Vila, visit its walls and medieval gates, it is spectacular, it is very well preserved. The views and the bastions are a must.
Other very special places are its beaches and coves. Cala Compta is one of the most visited. It stands out for its access, it is very easy to get to and once you are there you can enjoy its services. It has hammocks, umbrellas, lifeguard service and a beach bar where you can eat something if you are hungry, but over all, this cove stands out for its natural landscape. Postcard photos come out easily.
We recommend you to arrive early, because from the first hour of the morning it fills up quickly, especially in high season, and practice snorkeling, since with the rocks, the landscape is very fun.
The Dalias market, is another place that you should visit, not only for you to take a souvenir of your trip, but also you will be able to eat, and visiting it at night is quite an experience, you will love the atmosphere.
Cala Es Bol Nou, is different because of its reddish rock that contrasts with the turquoise water, it is a natural landscape that makes it different from the rest of the beaches in Ibiza. The water is calm and it is as if you were bathing in a pool.
Go to see the rock of Es Vedra, it is more or less 30 minutes from the center of the capital. It is a very beautiful place, the best time is at sunset; you will have a spectacular view.
