Balearic Islands : the fantastic and hot Ibiza
May 7, 2009
Ibiza is the center of entertainments and society life in Europe. But it is also a city with its own identity, with a nice historical centre and several interesting areas. Sa Penya, the heart of the old port of Ibiza and the ideal place for those who love wandering, is rich in typical small shops, cobbled paved passages and alleys. Light-heartedness is constantly in the air. The ancient high city, D’Alt Vila, is the primitive nucleus of Ibiza. It was built on a rocky high ground and it was surrounded by walls (built in the XVI century by Philip II), today it is the oldest fortress in Europe. Today it hosts the Museum of Contemporary Arts.

Islas Baleares, Spain: The splendor of Ibiza
April 24, 2009
Travel. My passion. I’m a director for sales for a division of an insurance group, which allows me to travel all over the world and one of the trips that really impacted me was when I visited Ibiza. Dining out in this city offers plenty of low-cost options at any time of day or night. On saturday, I lunched in a Thai Restaurant which serves food so deliciously authentic it might as well be an outpost of the archipielago. But the surprise is to taste a creamy pumpkin soup topped with tarragon chantilly. If you like walking, you may find fascinating exploring the city of Sant Antoni de Portmany. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will lead you there. – unknown
