THE 6 BEST THINGS TO DO IN CLOUDY IBIZA
On holiday we look forward to non-stop blue skies and 30-degree heat, yet this is not always the case. However, we like to see these days as an opportunity to explore and see other versions of Ibiza that we would undoubtedly miss if we had no reason to peel ourselves away from that sun lounger.
Here are our top 6 things to do when the weather changes in Ibiza.
1. E-biking
We have to admit we get quite excited on a cloudy day here in Ibiza. With over 250 days of sun a year, we like to make the most of the days with cloud cover to go on those extra long rides and get lost in nature. The island is abundant with excellent roads, caminos and tracks for cycling. Whether you’re exploring the promenade in town, taking the red rocky coastal paths or making your way over a mountain track, gliding along on two wheels will not leave you disappointed.
Hasha Ibiza has several routes you can use to explore or you can make your adventure. Hire their ebikes or if you want an extra memorable experience you can book a guide to show you around.
2. Hiking
Ibiza is a Hikers' paradise. Its’ rugged hilly terrain is breathtaking and intriguing. All over the island, there are trails to be discovered. Book a guide to find the off-the-beaten-track trails, or follow one of the many well-trodden paths to some of the most magical places. Our favourites are es Portixol, Cala Blanca Tunel and Sa Talaia at sunrise!
3. Explore the villages
All are unique from, San Juan, San Carlos, and Santa Gertrudis to San Jose. On a Sunday, San Juan is not one to miss, on first glance you may think this sleepy village is just that, but for its many cultural events and weekly Sunday market, it comes alive. This bustling and vibrant village is located in the north of the island. San Carlos is perfect for browsing in the local artisan shops for souvenirs or spending the afternoon watching the world go by in Bar Anita. For some of the best Sushi on the Island check out Mei - our favourite is their rainbow roll.
4. Museums and Galleries
Ibiza has a rich cultural heritage and learning about its history only begins to deepen your appreciation for a place.
Why not take a visit to; Ibiza Contemporary Art Museum - Museu d'Art Contemporani d'Eivissa Ajuntament de la Ciutat d'Eivissa MACE, Museu Puget, Puig des Molins Monographic Museum, Centre d'interpretació Madina Yabisa, Museu Casa Broner, La Nave Salinas or one of the many independent galleries on the island.
5. Wander the ancient streets of Dalt Vila
Get lost in the streets of Dalt Vila. The fortified town built upon the hill overlooking the coast holds many wondrous sights. The views from the top are breathtaking, the cobbled streets enchanting, each corner you turn you are presented with historic ruins and artefacts. The intricate streets and surprising vistas are like nowhere else and great for that photo opportunity. Stop in Plaza del Sol for a drink on your way down.
6. Cinema
Visit Teatro España in Santa Eularia, this is a historic beautifully preserved municipal building used for the cinema as well as plays, shows and other events, situated on the main street in Santa Eularia it is a perfect reason to explore the town while visiting. There is Multicines Eivissa in Ibiza a modern complex, or Cine Regio Ibiza in San Antonio also fully equipped with all the mod cons. Look out for showings in original audio or English.
