Ibiza Third Largest of The Balearic Islands
There are four prominent Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain. Of these, Majorca is the largest and most heavily populated. It also receives the greatest amount of tourists, with an almost unsurpassable number. It is well known for its cultural aspects and the old town area of Palma, its capital city. Minorca is the second largest of these islands, and takes its name from its larger and greater known neighbor. As with all the island, Minorca has fabulous beaches and many historical landmarks that attract visitors. Formentera is the smallest of these four islands, though it is not short on beauty or outside interest. It has some of the most beautiful beaches, full of clean sand and clear waters. Wind surfing is a probably the most popular water sport associated with this island.
Finally, there is Ibiza, Formentera’s closet neighbor. It is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, though it is probably the most notoriously well known. This is largely due to its thriving club scene, which any island anywhere would be hard pressed to measure up to. Clubs, lounges, pubs and bars are almost everywhere on this island. They’re on the beaches, in the mainland, and of course in all of the cities, in particular the major ones. Even the smallest Ibiza town hotel is likely to have a private lounge for its guests to enjoy happy hour or a nightcap. The two most prominent cities on Ibiza are Ibiza Town and San Antonio. They are also the home to most of the clubs, and many of them are famous in their own right. However, there is also much more on this island than its nightclubs. There are great museums, ancient ruins and plenty of beautiful scenery. There are even golf courses, which are surrounded by majestic greenery and shrubs.
