1. Es Vedra / Atlantis
Maybe the most popular sightseeing of Ibiza, the magical island Es Vedra. It is located at the south-west of Ibiza. You can’t reach the island itself because there don’t live any people around there and it has no port, but there is a really nice viewpoint where you can easy get to. As you are driving to the beach named Cala d’Hort, drive through on this way and you will see signposting that are telling you where to find Es Vedra. Eventually you will end up on a sandy road that will lead to a parking place. At this place you will have the option to go to Atlantis or Es Vedra. Atlantis is a beautiful place that is very popular by the hippies of Ibiza. It is much harder to get to with heavy climbing, but it’s worth it. Make sure you have enough water to drink, it will take about 45 minutes to get there. When you are going to the viewpoint of Es Vedra , it’s just a straight road that goes up slightly. If you have reached the viewpoint, you can also climb about 2 meters down to see some hippie caves. The hippie caves are intact and residents say they are still in use.

The club was located in the mountains that was hard to reach. The owners had to build a way by themselves. Although it was hard to reach, that didn’t seem to be a problem. The club was getting much traffic and it was used for different purposes. It was build as amphitheater so it was also used for cabaret-shows and bullfights. Unfortunately in 1974 they had to close it’s doors because of the oil crisis and the increasing flight ticket prices. Now, after almost 50 years, nature has find his way through the concrete.
