Historical and geographical background on Ibiza

Ibiza is an island located in the Mediterranean Sea administratively managed by Spain and part of the Balearic archipelago along with Formentera, Majorca and Menorca.

Despite being made up of an area of about 570 km², Ibiza is an island that plays a crucial role in Spanish tourism because of the incredible influx of guests who flock there to admire its best-known locations.

The earliest traces of its history date back to the Carthaginian period, a population that used it as a strategic and commercial fortress, as well as a port for mooring fleet ships.

For a long time, Ibiza was subject at first to frequent pirate attacks and only later to the succession of populations that exerted hegemony over it, from the Romans to the Muslims via the Aragonese.

The real tourist growth of Ibiza saw its beginning in the 1960s, a decade that set the tone toward the gradual climb in the hierarchy of European tourist destinations in which, even today, it plays a crucially important role.
