Spanish Propert in Ibiza
The island of Ibiza is the third largest of the Balearic Islands (along with Mallorca and Menorca), and is located in the Mediterranean of the southeast corner of Spain. It covers an area of 221 square miles, and has a coastline of an incredible 150 miles, which is three times the length that one would expect from a uniformly round island of this size.
One of the lovely aspects of Ibiza is that it is small enough never to be too far from anywhere, and yet large enough, that even if you have been living there for thirty years, you will still be finding parts you never knew existed!
The coastline is full of little coves and peninsulas. There are 56 beaches (of which 18 are blue flag). Ibiza is also fairly mountainous, and this together with the length of coastline is what helps Ibiza host an incredible selection of properties, many with outstanding sea views and at prices that are cheaper than on the Costa Blanca for a property with equivalent view.
The coastline of Ibiza is a mixture of beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves. Towards the south of the island is an area known as Salinas, where the salt lakes are that still produce salt. Once this was Ibiza's most important export. Now it is tourism!
