Cruise along the southern coastline of Ibiza and anchor for lunch under the rock island of Es Vedra. Standing at almost 400 metres high. Thought to be the third most magnetic place on the globe, after the North Pole and the Bermuda Triangle, Es Vedra is surrounded in myth and legend.
Beaches, nature, leisure and heritage are often the main reasons for choosing to go to Ibiza for the first time. Its cuisine, however, is what always makes you come back, well known for its sobrasada, the traditional orelletes, flaó and café caleta.
From the 6th century AC the influence of Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans created an important wine tradition on the island. The local varieties are Monastrell and Garnacha grapes for red wines, while the most important variety for white wine is Malvasia. Ibizan wines are made and produced in areas of San Mateu, Buscastell, and Sant Josep.
