There is a rock Island in Ibiza called Isla Es Vedra. The rock has loads of old legends related to it and tourist guides, if you hire one, will tend to exaggerate the tales a little. The sunset on Ibiza is something you should not miss even if your trip is 1 or 2 days long. Several artists and celebrities from Hollywood visit these beaches. You might bump into one any time. The most adventurous part of the Island is its hidden coves around its coastline. The sand is clean and shines bright during the sunny days.

Ibiza Carnival is the most colorful festival celebrated in Ibiza. The carnival is in form of a parade through the heartwarming streets of the Ibiza Town. The parade is accompanied by various colorfully costumed participants walking their way through the capital showing some cute gestures and allowing their dresses to speak stories. The sun shines at this time of the year and thousands of eager spectators jump and walk around the participants dancing and gaily enjoying the carnival mood.

The carnival is a great reminder of the many stories of the fantasy world. Participants are dressed representing various cartoon characters as well as significant people from history. You will also find some Capricorn Dancers dancing their way through the narrow lanes. Some girls are dressed like Barbies and there are others dressed in a cloth resembling the hide of a tiger.
