Local lowdown on Ibiza Town (Eivissa)
The old town - Dalt Vila
No matter what your age,
nationality, interest or sex, the fairytale architecture of Dalt Vila, Europe's most ancient fortress city, perched high on the summit, will captivate you. The spell binding history and romance of
Dalt Vila are evident in its narrow streets, whose very cobblestones have been polished smooth by the feet of centuries.

Ibiza by night
Just outside the citadel walls, on
the Port side, is Sa Peña. A construction of ancient, terraced, Arab style buildings with spindly iron balconies overhanging the thin, winding streets with secret alleys and steep, cobbled
passageways. They are home to many tiny boutiques, bars and eateries, most of which are concentrated into the two streets nearest the Port, Calle de la Virgen and Calle Mayor.
The Marina
Across the Port is the fabulous Casino, Pacha and El Divino. Here the luxury yacht marinas,
at Marina Botafoch and Ibiza Nueva, are graced with the floating palaces of Ibiza's jetset regulars, who migrate here faithfully at the start of each summer to keep their rendezvous
with the most famous nightlife in the Med.
We can really recommend a stroll around the quays and jetties of the Marina. Some of the biggest floating pleasure palace you have ever seen are berthed in Ibiza (most of the time with a scantily-clad sunworshipper adorning the cushioned decks!). At both Marinas (Botafoch and Nueva) there are some excellent restaurants and cafés from which to enjoy the view and the atmosphere.

Ibiza's 'wetset' is one of the most exclusive and well known in the world - why don't you don your sailor's cap, roll up your trousers and join them. (Maybe one day your ship will come in!)
Talking of big boats... one of the most amusing sights in the port is the row of luxury yachts which are allowed to berth directly next to the port (opposite the Marina - do not ask us how you qualify ;-). They are always lined up in order of ascending size. From big to unbelievable.
Talamanca
Just beyond the Marina Botafoch is the beautiful bay of Talamanca - the nearest beach to Ibiza Town. Talamanca is a very popular holiday destination, combining peaceful location with proximity to Ibiza Town.
