Lucia, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Ibiza once relied on salt production, and while the salt pans are still in use, they are now protected as part of a much larger nature reserve in order to safeguard the wildlife – in particular the many species of birds that use the area as a staging post as they migrate from Africa to Europe. Look out for the distinctive pink flamingos wading through the ponds.'In the morning, you'll pass by the snowy-white salt flats of Las Salinas. A huge patchwork of wetlands, it was the isle's chief earner for over 2,000 years.

Kveldstur i Ibiza by med Las Dalias hippiemarked

Den gamle festningen på toppen av Ibiza by har en fantastisk atmosfære med sine brosteinsbelagte gater som normalt bare er tilgjengelige til fots.
