seems clear that Ibiza is one of the best islands in the Mediterranean, and not just for its beaches or party almost perennial that have given fame.
On December 4, 1999, UNESCO declared World Heritage Site to the fortified area of \u200b\u200bIbiza, along with other treasures from Ibiza and Formentera as the necropolis of Puig des Molins, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta and the seagrass meadows of the Park Natural de ses Salines.
I was lucky to walk inside this place a few years ago, and every time I go to Ibiza, even without getting off the boat, I pause to look at this beautiful space high above the port with nostalgia. On our visit to Ibiza we can not walk through this room, known as Dalt Vila. "
The museum, which preserves the original layout sixteenth century, converting to Ibiza in one of the most heavily defended cities of the Mediterranean. It was in the sixteenth century when King Philip II decided to build a new wall to surround the city, and remains today as an example of military architecture and aesthetics of the Renaissance.
Visiting the steep streets of this old town to reach the highest point of Dalt Vila and peek through the defenses will lead to the best views over the bay and the city.
We see the beach from En Bossa, Ses Salines and the island of Formentera. Not to be missed visits as former Dominican monastery, now the town hall of Ibiza. Nor Ibiza Cathedral, started in the Century XIV and completed in the eighteenth century or the Bishop's Palace, residence of the Bishop.
The Archaeological Museum, situated in the old building of the University, is another interesting stop as well as building military buildings located on the top (the Royal Curia, the Castle, the keep, the Almudaina , the Governor's house ...).
Carrossa sa La Plaza, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the chapel of San Ciriaco, ol'Hospitalet Seminary, a former church converted into an exhibition hall, we also expect. Dalt Vila
But not only offers these historical and artistic interest: leisure stroll through its streets as bars and restaurants. By nightfall parade striking claims, drag queens, transvestites and sculpted bodies naked boys and girls to attract customers to pubs and clubs.
At night, the music takes over the streets and the animation reaches almost every corner, and although you will not find big clubs, we can choose one of the bars or pubs in the area to dance till you drop.
For purchases we can also lose the old town, craft shops, clothing or art. So we can stay in a small hotel in this area.
In any case, night or day, walking, eating, to dance, to buy, you'll want to return to this place so special about Ibiza. Walk between the buildings leaning to the port that the typical white alternate Ibiza with other colors bold and welcome all who come to Ibiza.
