The Best Things To Do In Ibiza, Spain

Zamora

If Salamanca doesn’t provide enough history for you, take a day trip to Zamora located in the northern part of the city. Here the architecture dates back to the 1100s and 1200s and has over 24 Romanesque churches to discover. There is also a castle which has panoramic views over the city.

Try Jamón Ibérico

One of the best things to do in Salamanca is to try Jamon Iberico. Although you can get this all over Spain, Salamanca provides some of the best. This meat is cured for over 2 years and is served thinly sliced and is delicious just on its own.

Arribes del Duero National Park

One of the best things to do in Salamanca is actually located just outside of the city. Spanning 106.5 hectares, this natural park forms a natural border between Spain and Portugal and has one of the largest inland lakes in Europe. Make sure you visit the south side of the lake which has the beautiful Pozo de los Humos waterfall.

Cross the Roman Bridge

Running across the Tormes River is the Roman bridge which dates right back to the 1st century. This impressive bridge spans almost 360 meters and has 26 arches of which 14 have remained unchanged.

Convento de San Esteban

This convent features both baroque and renaissance elements blended together in perfect harmony. The convent was built by order of the Dominicans in the 16th and 17th century and is impressive both inside and outside, especially the royal cloister which is one of three.

See the sunset over from Tormes River

This for me is one of the best ways to see the breath-taking sunset over Salamanca. From here you can then take a leisurely stroll along the riverbank and see the city in glisten in spectacular light.

Try Pintxos at La Cocina de Tono

If you have come to Spain you have probably tried the tapas, but have you tried the Pintxos. The concept is fairly similar in that these are tapas style snacks mainly served in Northern Spain with the main difference that they are served with a toothpick to avoid the food falling off the bread slice bottom. For great Pintxos in a local setting, try La Cocina de Tono.

Eat Paella at Sa Caleta

One of the best things to do in Ibiza is to try the islands amazing food, and you can’t come to this Balearic island and not try Paella. Set in a stunning restaurant overlooking the Mediterranean is Sa Caleta. Enjoy a traditional mixed Paella which is full of fresh seafood and local ingredients.

Bargain hunt at a hippie market

When you’re in Ibiza it may seem impossible to bag a bargain, but if you head to one of the islands world famous hippie markets you may be able to do just that. The biggest markets are the Punta Arabí Hippy Market on Wednesday in Es Caná and the Las Dalias Hippy Market on Saturdays in San Carlos.
Although these can be crowded and now a little touristy, they are still one of the best things to do in Ibiza due to the atmosphere, sights, sounds and smells. In Las Dallas there is also a night time market with lots of colourful jewellery, handicrafts and live music.

Watch the Sunset

A very simple but beautiful experience, the sunset in Ibiza is world famous for a reason. There are plenty of great spots to get the best from this magical site and one of the best spots is at Café Mambo bar, which has a great atmosphere while providing mouth watering drinks and some of the best sunset views on the island. For something more chilled out, take a boat trip and relax while watching the unspoilt views.

Es Vedra

This mythical and magical rock of Ibiza sits just off the west coast of the island and is the 3rd magnetic piece of rock in the world. Standing 400 meters high, this uninhabited spiritual rock sits opposite Cala d’Hort on the west coast. The best way to get here is by car and walking the last 500 meter, take some prosecco to toast for a truly magical experience. That is once of The Best Things To Do In Ibiza, Spain.
