For yet another year we are kicking off the Ibiza season. The streets begin to fill with people in search of adventures and magical moments because in the end Ibiza is just that, an accumulation of magic, joy and good energy. Las calles empiezan a llenarse de gente en busca de aventuras y momentos mágicos porque al final Ibiza es eso, un cúmulo de magia, alegría y buena energía. Cala Conta has already opened its doors and the first to arrive do not hesitate to make a stop beforehand to sunbathe and enjoy the crystal clear waters of the island. The first boat trips make their appearance, filling the beaches of Formentera with non-local visitors looking to discover the gastronomy and hidden places of the area.

When people mention Ibiza, the first image that comes to mind are the macro discotheques and techno parties, but there is also another side that very few get to know and enjoy. Ibiza, part of the Balearic archipelago, hides magical places that give off a peace that very few find. If you are looking for a few days of disconnection and relaxation, you are in the right place. A good holiday itinerary has to contain moments of absolute relaxation, and one of the favourite places for visitors is undoubtedly Cala Benirrás to watch the sun go down. Little is said about the vibe we give off in those moments or when we sit in front of the famous Es Vedra. Ibiza really started out as a fishermen’s town, which is why they have so many jetties. Together with Formentera and the more than fifty islets that surround the coast they form the Pitiusas Islands, let’s say that it is an archipelago within an archipelago, although at an administrative level it is only one. It is an area of about 572 km, from end to end it can be covered in between one and two hours by car, depending on the stops and the traffic. A very nice route to take is by bicycle, although it is a three- to four-hour ride. It is 75 kilometres long and about 26 kilometres wide. A boat or kayak along the coast is also a very good option, as you can access even the island’s most hidden coves. Little by little we will be telling you more about the island, about its magical places and where you can enjoy its gastronomy.

To visit Es Vedrá we must go to the southwest of the island, in the municipality of San José, until we reach Cala d’Hort, where we will have an incredible view of the islet from the beach itself. It is important to note that, since 2002, Es Vedrá has been a protected area as a biosphere reserve, within the Es Vedrá, Es Vedranell and Els Illots de Ponent Natural Park, therefore, in order to preserve the fauna and flora, it is not permitted to disembark or set foot on the islet. However, sailing just a few metres away from this magical 380-metre-high islet on its deep, dark seabed is a unique experience.
Goats
A curious fact about Es Vedrá is the number of goats that inhabited the islet from 1992 until 2016, when biologists declared that the number of goats was increasing too fast and that they were endangering the native vegetation of Es Vedrá, and finally, the Balearic Government ordered the extinction of all of them.
Magnetism
Why is Es Vedra, without a doubt one of the most special places in Ibiza? So many are its legends that it has been considered one of the most magnetic spots on our planet earth. In fact, it is one of the favourite places for those who practice yoga and meditation. This has its origins in the 1960s, when the hippy movement in Ibiza was at its peak, they discovered its energy and Es Vedra became a spiritual hotspot.
Triangle of Silence
The Triangle of Silence, one of the best known stories of Es Vedra. The name is due to the fact that the islet, together with the Ifach rock in Alicante and the southwest coast of Mallorca, form an area delimited by a Triangle shape. Legend has it that many of the ships that sailed in this area suffered interference and failures in their navigation systems, just as supposedly happens in the Bermuda Triangle.
UFOs
Another curious legend that feeds the islet of Es Vedrá is that of UFO sightings. At this point, we must talk about the famous Manises Case, one of the most famous UFO sightings in Spain that took place on the 11th of November in 1979 and in which Es Vedrá played a very important role. A plane with 109 passengers on board flying from Palma de Mallorca to Tenerife was chased by three unknown red lights in the sky. After asking the control towers in Madrid and Barcelona for information and discovering that they did not know what it was, the pilot decided to make an emergency landing at the airport of Manises (Valencia). The most curious thing about the case is that the phenomenon happened just as the plane was flying over Es Vedrá. It turned out to be the first case of forced landing due to the sighting of a UFO in the history of Spanish aviation.
