Especially, in the valley of <a href=\"https:\/\/ibizaruralvillas.com\/en\/santa-ines\/\"><strong>Santa Ines<\/strong><\/a>. The green spaces, abundant woods and the beautiful countryside where largely responsible for seducing the visitors of the <strong>island<\/strong>. The numerous hills, plains and prairies create an ecological setting, where the tourists enjoy de authenticity, wildness and beauty created by the local peasant farmers, who have been cultivating and preserving the countryside for centuries. In spring, the island becomes a real spectacle for the eyes for its particular colour, beauty and light. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ibizaruralvillas.com\/en\/las-salinas\/\"><strong>The natural park of Las Salinas<\/strong><\/a> is an area with a high index of biodiversity. The hilly coastal range of Es Amunts-situated in the north part of the island-, <strong>Cala d\u2019Hort<\/strong>, Ses Feixes and the plains of Santa Ines and <a href=\"https:\/\/ibizaruralvillas.com\/en\/san-mateo\/\"><strong>San Mateo<\/strong><\/a> are some other natural spaces of great ecological value. Ibiza is plenty of pines, but we can also see other species like the <strong>juniper<\/strong>, <strong>olive<\/strong> and <strong>carob tree<\/strong>, some of these are centuries old. Concerning to the crop trees we find: the <strong>almond tree<\/strong>, the <strong>algarrobo tree<\/strong> (local specie), <strong>olive tree<\/strong> and <strong>fig tree<\/strong>, part of the autochthonous landscape and history of the island. If we talk about flowers, the most common ones are: <strong>daisies<\/strong>, <strong>poppies<\/strong>, small <strong>orchid<\/strong> and many other wild flowers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many travelers<\/strong> describe their arrival to <a href=\"https:\/\/ibizaruralvillas.com\/en\/curiosities-of-ibiza\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Eivissa by boat as something very special<\/strong><\/a>. The access by sea gives us an incredible view of the old town, <a href=\"https:\/\/ibizaruralvillas.com\/en\/ibiza-world-heritage\/\"><strong>Dalt Vila<\/strong><\/a>, which emerges from behind the little picturesque houses. The little narrow streets of La Marina end in the old market ( <strong>Mercat Vell<\/strong> ) which is located between the quarter of <strong>Sa Penya<\/strong> and the main entrance to the walled city of Dalt Vila. <strong>Portal de Ses Taules<\/strong> is a direct access to the old town, which goes to the beautiful patio, known as Patio de Armas and the square of <strong>Plaza de la Vila<\/strong>, where an oasis of original <strong>restaurants<\/strong> and shops can be found. If we continue uphill we reach the square La plaza de Sa Carrossa, the town council and <strong>the Cathedral<\/strong>. Afterwards, on the way down we go through Ronda Calvi, leaving behind the walled enclosure we arrive to the park Reina Sofia and the main avenue Vara de Rey. During this route we will discover the colonial architecture in buildings like Hotel Montesol or some other places to relax, such as Plaza del Parque, very frequented by the locals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Every summer in the old city<\/strong> Ibiza celebrates a three-day Jazz Music Festival, called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/login\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEivissaJazz%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>\u201cEivissa Jazz&#8221;<\/strong><\/a> that congregates many jazz groups coming from all over the world.
