There is a smaller island thirty minutes by ferry from Ibiza called Fomentera. It’s rather rustic and said to be how Ibiza was fifty years ago. Ibiza is, in fact, starting to become very wealthy and on its way to becoming a Saint Tropez.
A view of a small beach as we walked to it.
Another lighthouse. It was at the very end of the island, very isolated.
A lookout tower, used as protection by the inhabitants when those pesky pirates arrived. There were also some palaeolithic ruins nearby.
The churches were also used as protection-no windows to break and climb through.
And yet another lighthouse. Note the desert vegetation. Some areas have pine tree forests, but most are desert.
I had Irish friends who lived there long ago. Sounds lovely!
The first photo is so pretty. Too bad about Ibiza becoming another Saint Tropez.
