Where Ibiza is located<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those of you visiting us from abroad, you should know that Ibiza is a Spanish island that forms part of the Balearic Islands archipelago<\/strong> and is located on the western side of the Mediterranean Sea, almost 80 km from Denia (the nearest port on the Iberian Peninsula); 80 km southeast of the island of Majorca and 7 km from Formentera. Due to its location, the island has a typically Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, with moderate minimum temperatures.<\/p>\n

The island’s capital has the same name, Ibiza\/Eivissa<\/strong>, although Ibicencans usually refer to it as Vila. In addition to this municipality, the island is made up of four others: Santa Eul\u00e0ria des Riu, Sant Joan de Labritja, Sant Antoni de Portmany and Sant Josep de sa Talaia.<\/p>\n

What is Ibiza like?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ibiza is an island characterised by a mountainous landscape that alternates valleys with low mountain ranges covered with pine forests, the highest peak being Sa Talaia, at a height of 475 metres. Its rugged landscape also extends to the coastline, resulting in a multitude of beautiful coves <\/strong>scattered along its long stretches of cliffs, giving rise to a few beaches longer than 500 metres.<\/p>\n

Travelling around the island from cove to cove is one of the must-do activities in Ibiza thanks to the charm of its roads, which wind through beautiful rural landscapes. With an area of 572 km2, it is very tempting to move from north to south and east to west in a single day, as the maximum distance on the island does not exceed 55 km<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the villages of Ibiza like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Except for the villages of San Antonio and Santa Eulalia, which are the most touristy, the rest of Ibiza’s villages and parishes are small urban centres located in the island’s interior. The parishes of Santa Agn\u00e8s, Sant Mateu, Sant Joan, Sant Lloren\u00e7, Sant Agust\u00ed and Es Cubells<\/strong>remain as they were in the past, with only a church and a few houses around it.<\/p>\n

The rest of the towns have expanded in recent decades, although they are still small villages, such as Sant Carles, Santa Gertrudis, Sant Jordi, Sant Josep, Sant Miquel and Sant Rafel. Jes\u00fas and Puig d’en Valls, neighbours of the city of Ibiza, have undergone greater growth due to their proximity to the island’s capital.<\/p>\n
