Ibiza the "Party" Island
The island of Ibiza is the third largest
of the archipelago, covering an area of more than 500 km2, and
with a population of over 70,000. Thanks to its hilly terrain
the island offers some magnificent scenery of great beauty.
There are a great deal of pine forests, as well as almond trees,
fig and olive trees, and also palm trees. Ibiza is most strongly
associated, these days, with nightclubs (Amnesia, Pacha, Space...).

Formentera
The nearby island of Formentera has salt marshes, orchards, farmers and fishermen. Reached by ferry from the island of Ibiza, Formentera is very small and quiet, with no high-rise tourist developments marring the landscape. The inhabitants seem to prefer a slower pace and want to keep it that way.
