  Ibiza, one of the Spanish Balearic islands, has enjoyed its reputation as a lively, fashionable year-round resort since the onset of tourism to the island began in the 1960s - and with the spectacular view of Eivissa, the capital, from the harbour, its white-washed houses piling up to the walls of the Dalt Vila, it is easy to see why. This is an island of curiosities and contrasts, dotted with windmills, sandy beaches, night clubs, rocky coves, spectacular cliffs, a mountainous interior and historical shights ranging from a Phoenician necropolis to Neolithic and Bronze Age remains. For those looking for peace and solitude, the neighbouring island of Formentera is only a hour away by ferry. This guide introduces the reader to the island's history, people, culture, wildlife and economy and then focuses on the really worthwhile sights and places of interest to visit. The concise, user-friendly text offers information panels, colour photographs, maps and suggested excursions, enabling the visitor to make the most of the time available.
