Car Hire in Ibiza
travel information

The Mediterranean island of Ibiza (Eivissa) is located half way between the coast of mainland Spain and the larger island of Mallorca, approximately 100 km from each. Ibiza and its smaller neighbour, Formentera, are referred to as the Pitiuses, and the Pitiuses, jointly with Mallorca and Menorca, shape a group of islands collectively recognized as the Balearics.

The Island is crammed full of amazing surprises, all of which reveal them selves as soon as you leave behind the larger towns and head for the woods and beaches. The island has around sixty beaches, an abundance of hills, forests, cliffs, small villages, traditional restaurants, exclusive eateries, stunning architecture, and breathtaking sunsets.

The Ibicencos tend to think of Ibiza as a country in its own right; the main language of Ibiza is Catalan, a form of Spanish that differs somewhat from the better-known Castilian. Road signs and menus use both forms of Spanish, but there is a distinct fondness for the local Catalan - therefore 'Eivissa' rather than 'Ibiza', or 'bon dia' rather than 'buenas dias'.
