Ibiza Hippy Market Visit with a Local Guide

The Es Cana Hippy Market is the stuff of legend. Swing back to the Sixties at this treasure trove of cubby-hole stalls, where your batik fantasies clash in a cloud of incense. Ibiza's number one and original hippy market, it has refused to move with the times. The stands are piled high with authentic and retro items, everything from kaleidoscope kaftans to beads and bangles. Silke, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The market is full of creative artisans and artistes, not just selling their wares but performing music. It's an eclectic and electric experience for all the family.'A wide variety of products are on offer, from handstitched leather bags and a huge range of jewellery right through to homewares such as hand-woven baskets and art prints. Clothing is also highly sought-after, and there's no shortage of cool, beach-ready apparel. Prices are reasonable for such unique and often handcrafted items. Silke adds, ‘In 1973, the hotel invited hippy artisans to sell their wares to guests. Today, there are more than 450 stalls. You'll find stands selling white dresses and shirts – the typical Adlib Ibiza style, which was created during the hippy movement and is still very popular.'If you fancy just sitting back to soak up the atmosphere, there's food and drink for all tastes in the foodie areas. There are even activities for the kids and a playground for your little ones. Even if you're eyeing not buying, the psychedelic time travel is worth the visit alone.

Utflykt på Ibiza med Can Marca-grottorna, Las Salinas och Portinatx

Den här utflykten visar upp öns alla fyra hörn. Du kommer att besöka Las Salinas, Portinatx och San Miguel, men även feststaden San Antonio och det unika Santa Eulalia. Lucia, en av våra lokalguider, säger: "Ibiza var en gång i tiden beroende av saltproduktion, och även om saltbassängerna fortfarande används är de nu skyddade som en del av ett mycket större naturreservat för att skydda djurlivet - i synnerhet de många fågelarter som använder området som en rastplats när de flyttar från Afrika till Europa. Håll utkik efter de karakteristiska rosa flamingos som vadar i dammarna.På morgonen passerar du Las Salinas snövita saltplattor. Det är ett enormt lapptäcke av våtmarker och var öns främsta inkomstkälla i över 2 000 år. I den söta byn San Jose kan du ta en kaffe på torget eller besöka den uppmärksammade fästningskyrkan från 1700-talet. Byn har bevarat en traditionell ibizansk atmosfär och har ett naturskönt läge vid foten av Sa Talaia, Ibizas högsta berg som når 475 meter.Efter ett kort fotostopp i San Antonio eller Santa Eulalia - beroende på avgångsort - har du lite ledig tid att strosa runt i den vackra kustorten Portinatx och välja en av de lokala restaurangerna för en typisk lunch. Sista stoppet är den lilla hamnen i San Miguel, som ligger runt sin smala vik, och grottorna i Can Marca. En rundtur i grottorna avrundas med en kort ljud- och ljusshow innan du åker tillbaka till semesterorten.

Beautiful views, the sea breeze and a glass of bubbly are all the ingredients you need for a relaxing evening cruise along Ibiza's spectacular western coast. After the cruise, you'll have free time to soak up the island vibes in San Antonio. Silke, one of our expert local guides, says: When the sun goes down, you'll experience the real magic of Ibiza. The same magic which inspired musicians like Mike Oldfield to create their wonderful music. My advice is to forget the cameras for a few moments and to enjoy the moment with all your focus.'You'll set sail as the afternoon melts into the evening, and there's time to relax on board as your skipper takes you along the coast to enjoy the views of San Antonio's famous ‘Sunset Strip' bars from the sea. You'll get to know the coastline of Ibiza with explanations from the guide as you pass by. Toast the Ibiza sunset with a glass of fizz while you take in the picture-perfect setting.

Why not check out the funky and famous west end, hit the strip, or find somewhere for a bite to eat.

Kvällstur i staden Ibiza med Las Dalias hippiemarknad

Den gamla muromgärdade fästningen som ligger högst upp i Ibiza stad är en stämningsfull labyrint av kullerstensgator som normalt bara är tillgängliga till fots. Den kallas Dalt Vila och är mestadels bebyggd, men när du utforskar den kommer du att upptäcka de kulturella sevärdheterna som ligger gömda längs de smala gatorna. Efter att ha utforskat den gamla stadsdelen beger du dig till den berömda hippiemarknaden Las Dalias. Martina, en av våra lokalguider, säger: "1985 startade marknaden med bara fem stånd. När vi nu är i 2023, det 38:e året, har marknaden visserligen utökats till 250 stånd, men den har mer än någonsin kvar sin distinkta hippiecharme.Först promenerar vi runt i Dalt Vila, som omges av monumentala försvarsmurar med sju bastioner som alla erbjuder en unik utsikt över staden och havet. På den högsta punkten i Dalt Vila ligger 1200-talskatedralen Santa Maria som erbjuder en fantastisk utsikt över Ibiza stad. Eller så kanske du föredrar att titta på designerbutiker och lyxbutiker i det moderna Marina-distriktet nere vid hamnen. Det är ett livfullt och elegant område som kantas av kaféer, barer och restauranger vid vattnet. Efter ett par timmar i gamla stan beger du dig till den berömda hippiemarknaden Las Dalias. Det är mer av en institution än en marknad, ett riktigt potpurri av hantverkare och konstnärer som designar, tillverkar och säljer sina egna hantverk. Här kan du köpa en fantastisk variation av hantverk och mode - från pärlor och armband till originalmålningar av lokala skönhetsplatser. Du kan även boka en massage eller slå dig ner för en förfriskning.

Locals know this island as Eivissa. And there's a few more secrets they want to keep, too. Uncover real, rural and authentic Ibiza on this half-day tour. Rosa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘There's a hidden side to Ibiza that you can still find in villages like Santa Gertrudis. It's a bit of gastronomic hotspot of the island, largely due to the surrounding farms, which produce some of Ibiza's best fruit and vegetables. It's also home to the island's only herd of cows.'Kick off with a drive through the village of Es Cubells. Away from the party beaches and super-clubs, it's one of the few spots where the beauty and peace of old remain. It's not much more than a cute cluster of farms and a church with views over the sea. As you explore, keep an eye out for the famous white church of St. Augustine, a hallmark of the village. Enjoy the serene atmosphere and take in the breathtaking coastal views before it's on to an aloe vera farm for a tour.Rosa adds, ‘In our local folklore, the island is home to sirens, sea nymphs and other mythical creatures. It's also said to have a powerful energy, and many people believe it to be a healing place.' You'll round off with free time to explore the charming village of Santa Gertrudis. Stroll through its quaint streets and discover an array of arty boutiques and galleries where you can pick up unique souvenirs. If shopping isn't your thing, simply relax at a local café and savour a cup of coffee while soaking up the laid-back vibes.

Formentera Guided Tour from Ibiza by Fast Ferry

Toni, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘From the Mirador viewpoint you can see the whole island, which is shaped a bit like a seahorse. On the left you'll see playa Mitjorn – it is said that this is Bob Dylan's favourite beach. He used to get his nightcap from the beach kiosk there.'Catch the fast ferry from Ibiza to Formentera, and our first stop is Sant Francesc, the quaint little island capital. The hub of the village is undoubtedly the main square, Plaça de la Constitució, fringed with vibrant cafes and restaurants. On warm days, the square is usually thronged with locals and visitors making it a top spot to people-watch and soak up the relaxed island atmosphere.
