So, where is Ibiza? It is a Spanish island in the western Mediterranean Sea, just south of Mallorca (another famous giant). This article will focus on the main reasons Ibiza has become so renowned.
Beautiful island
First, it is a magnificent island with an incredible landscape of lush greenery, beautiful sandy beaches, and a turquoise sea. Above all, it is rich in culture. Ibiza Town, for instance, has been designated by UNESCO and not for no reason. Furthermore, not many people know that the island is not just about clubbing. 90% of the island attracts family-oriented tourism. More importantly, the prices outside the clubbing capitals (Ibiza Town and San Antoni) are lower, especially if you plan to visit it outside the primary season (July and August).

The pub scene is undoubtedly one of the pinnacles of tourists’ desires.

Original Spanish food
Ibiza’s cuisine has Spanish and Mediterranean influences. That’s why they will offer you a wide range of fish. Most popular are bacalao (cod), merluza (hake), Emperador (swordfish), and lenguado (sole), which are served very simply, only with some salads or potatoes so you can taste the fish fully. Since Ibiza is a famous destination, you can find many international restaurants too, varying from luxury restaurants to simple, fast foods.
Best LGBT+ parties and events
If you want the best of both worlds: great weather and plenty of action, June is the month to come to Ibiza. The principal weekly party nights have kicked off by mid-month in the clubs. Additionally, it is also the time for the Ibiza pride.
With Madrid and Barcelona, Ibiza is considered one of the top Spanish gay hotspots. Even more, many believe that it’s the best of all.
You will find most gay bars and clubs in Ibiza Town, Dalt Vila, and Figueretas. You can find many gay-friendly spots in other parts of the islands. The parties over there are mixed (hetero and gay). However, you will soon find out that the Ibizans are mostly hedonists. Therefore sexual issue over there doesn’t exist.
