At Sea Experience Ibiza we know that one of the most striking things about the Pitiusas has to do with the sea: its beautiful beaches, magical boat trips, water sports or the incredible sea bed for diving.
Inland, however, Ibiza offers a different way to enjoy the island and make your next holiday complete (and unforgettable). We are not talking about anything other than the patron saint festivals of the towns of Ibiza.
The best place to taste local products
If anything distinguishes the popular festivals of Ibiza (and Formentera) it is, without a doubt, their gastronomic delights. As far as cuisine is concerned, the islands are becoming a world benchmark for the mixture of avant-garde and local specialities.
As could not be otherwise, the best way to taste all that Ibizan gastronomy has to offer is at local festivals.
You should not fail to try everything from the typical "payés" bread with traditional sobrasada to the "gerret" (fish endemic to the Pitiusa coast), passing a "bullit de peix" or a "arroz de matanzas" and helping the digestion with a liqueur of Ibizan herbs.
An atmosphere for all audiences
The villages of Ibiza, as well as its residents, have a peaceful character and are open to the world. And so are their fiestas. It doesn't matter if you have come on holiday with your friends, with your partner, or with your family. At Ibiza's popular festivals there is room for everyone.
The main activities usually last several days and range from concerts and live music to theatre and street performances - you'll always find something to do!
