Ibiza (officially Eivissa) is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea off the eastern coast of Spain.
Eivissa
has become well known for its association with nightlife, electronic dance music and for the summer club scene, all of which attract large numbers of tourists. The average annual temperature of Ibiza is 18.3 °C (65 °F), being warm and mild throughout the whole year. A nucleus for the convergence and interchange of numerous cultures – Punic, Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, Visigoth, Muslim and Catalan – Ibiza today is known throughout the world for the beauty of the ‘ship of stone’, as poets have been known to call Dalt Vila, the best-preserved walled fortification in the Mediterranean region and a location that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ibiza
is also renowned for its privileged natural surroundings and for the millennial swards of Posidonia Oceanica, which were included in the World Heritage declaration as they help maintain the marine ecosystem and ensure both the preservation of the sand on the local beaches and the crystalline transparency of the waters around the Pityusic Islands.
