We don’t always know it but Ibiza and Formentera undoubtedly offer the most beautiful sailing areas in the Mediterranean and varied programs; More than 300 km of coastline, very short sailing distances between anchorages, numerous areas to shelter in the event of a slightly stronger breeze, in fact it is extremely rare not to be able to go out to sea in Ibiza during the summertime.

Many populations have written its history: the Phoenicians, the Arabs left their beautiful architecture there, the Catalans, the IBICENCOS who left to immigrate to Latin America and Cuba came back and built colonial buildings including those of the magnificent VARA de REY square. The hippies, mostly children of rich Americans and Europeans, made it their Nirvana in the 60s and 70s . The ES CANAR market does not really present any interest, but the DALIAS.
