The programme

The old town in this, the youngest island in the Mediterranean, dates back 2,500 years: discover Dalt Vila, Ibiza's fortified citadel and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Touring it on foot you'll discover the traces of the many civilizations that inhabited the island: Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Muslims and finally Catalans. It was they who changed the original Phoenician name, Ibosim, to Evissa, which then became Ibiza.
In front of the cathedral of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, remember that it stands on the site of a miraculous snowfall. While the church of Santo Domingo will impress you with its red roof tiles.
Last stop is the Portal de Ses Taules: a photo of the drawbridge is a good reminder of the historical side of Ibiza.
