Ibiza
A UNESCO walled town, seagrass meadows, and the loudest nights in Europe.
Ibiza is two destinations sharing an island: the club economy that defines its reputation, and a UNESCO listing covering Dalt Vila, a Phoenician settlement and the Posidonia meadows that keep the water that colour. Twenty-one tourists per resident is the number that explains the tension.
