History of Ibiza

  • Ibiza was first settled by the Phoenicians around 654 BC. They established the port of Ibossim, which became an important commercial hub in the Mediterranean. The Phoenicians introduced advanced agricultural practices and were instrumental in the initial development of the island.

  • Following the decline of the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians took control of Ibiza. They continued to develop the island's trade networks and fortified the city of Eivissa. Carthaginian artifacts and ruins can still be found on the island, reflecting this period of prosperity.

  • Ibiza fell under Roman control in 123 BC during the Punic Wars. The Romans called the island 'Ebusus' and integrated it into their extensive trade networks. Roman influence is evident in the island's architecture, including aqueducts and roads, some of which remain today.

  • After the fall of the Roman Empire, Ibiza was briefly controlled by the Vandals and then the Byzantines. The island experienced a period of relative obscurity during these centuries, with little historical documentation available.

  • The Moors conquered Ibiza in 902 AD, ushering in a golden age of agriculture, architecture, and culture. They introduced new irrigation techniques and crops, and their architectural legacy includes the fortified walls of Dalt Vila. The Moorish influence is still visible in the island’s culture and architecture.

  • In 1235, Ibiza was conquered by King James I of Aragon during the Reconquista. The island was integrated into the Kingdom of Aragon and later the Crown of Aragon. This period saw the construction of many churches and the establishment of a feudal system.

  • During the 16th and 17th centuries, Ibiza was frequently targeted by pirates. To protect against these threats, extensive fortifications were built, including the impressive walls of Dalt Vila. These defensive structures are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the island's turbulent past.

  • Under the Bourbon monarchy, Ibiza underwent significant administrative and economic reforms in the 18th century. These changes led to improved infrastructure and the revitalization of the island’s agriculture and trade.

  • The mid-20th century saw Ibiza transform into an international tourist destination. The island became famous for its vibrant nightlife, scenic beaches, and bohemian atmosphere. This tourism boom significantly impacted the local economy and culture, making Ibiza a global icon.

  • In 1999, UNESCO designated several sites in Ibiza as World Heritage Sites. These include Dalt Vila, the Phoenician settlement of Sa Caleta, and the necropolis of Puig des Molins. These recognitions underscore the island's rich historical and cultural heritage.

Ibiza Essentials

  • Ibiza is easily accessible by air and sea. The island's main entry point is Ibiza Airport (IBZ), located approximately 7 kilometers southwest of Ibiza Town. Multiple airlines offer direct flights from major European cities, especially during the summer season. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from mainland Spain, with regular services from Barcelona, Valencia, and Denia. The ferry docks at the Port of Ibiza Town, providing a scenic welcome to the island.
  • Transportation on the island includes buses, taxis, car rentals, and scooters. The public bus network connects major towns and tourist areas, with frequent services during the peak season. Taxis are widely available but can be expensive. Renting a car or scooter offers flexibility to explore the island at your own pace, although parking can be challenging in busy areas. Bicycles are also a popular option for short distances and coastal rides.
  • The official currency in Ibiza is the Euro (EUR). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops. ATMs are plentiful in towns and tourist areas. However, it is advisable to carry some cash, especially when visiting rural areas or smaller establishments. Currency exchange services are available at the airport, banks, and exchange offices.
  • Ibiza is generally a safe destination for tourists, but it is important to take standard precautions. Avoid displaying valuables and be vigilant in crowded places, especially in Ibiza Town and San Antonio, where pickpocketing can occur. Some areas of San Antonio, particularly the West End, have higher crime rates targeting tourists, such as petty theft and scams. Always use licensed taxis and avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas.
  • In case of emergency, dial 112 for immediate assistance. This number connects you to police, fire, and medical services. Several hospitals and clinics are available on the island, with the main hospital, Can Misses, located in Ibiza Town. It is recommended to have travel insurance that covers medical emergencies. Pharmacies are widespread and can provide over-the-counter medications and minor health advice.
  • Fashion: Do dress casually and comfortably, but avoid beachwear in town centers and upscale restaurants. Religion: Do respect local customs and traditions. When visiting churches, dress modestly and avoid loud behavior. Public Transport: Do be respectful and considerate to fellow passengers. Don't eat or drink on public transport. Greetings: Do greet people with a friendly 'Hola' or 'Buenos días.' A handshake is common in formal situations. Eating & Drinking: Do try local dishes like 'bullit de peix' and 'ensaimada.' Don't forget to tip around 10% in restaurants if service is not included.
  • To experience Ibiza like a local, visit the traditional markets such as Las Dalias and Punta Arabí, where you can buy handmade crafts and local produce. Explore the island's lesser-known beaches like Cala d'en Serra and Cala Llentrisca for a more tranquil experience. Engage with locals at family-owned bars and restaurants, especially in smaller villages like Santa Gertrudis and Sant Joan. Don't miss the sunset at Es Vedrà, a mystical rock island with stunning views.
