The largest of the Pitiüsas, Ibiza, is generally known for its summers, but this beautiful island can also be enjoyed out of season. The best time for this is in the spring, and I’ll tell you why.
Winter takes charge of putting in place what the summer messes up. It also happens with one of the most precious things of the island: its beaches. The year wakens up between the calm swaying of the waves in crystalline water coves and many residents begin to enjoy the beaches.
The temperature of the sea during the months of April and May is around 16ºC. Nevertheless, a bath in a calm and transparent sea is something that makes you forget the cold. The sand conserves during the spring its winter freshness and it transmits the peace and the calm that the sea reflects.
This peace is also transmitted to the restaurants, which open their doors during this season. Gradually, we can see terraces that take the tables out and the friendly and pleasant waiters that invite you to sit down and chat.
Winter has calmed the stress of summer and the locals start the season relaxed. A perfect occasion to mingle with residents in traditional bars and start conversation. These people are the best tour guides you can find.
Under a bright sun and pleasant temperatures, you can go hiking or take a walk around. Many of the marked routes meander all the coast of Ibiza.
It is a wonderful way to discover the different rock formations. The reddish colours characteristic of the clay soil take on black and white shades depending on the area. On the firm ground, the pines grow bright green in colour, so characteristic of Ibiza.
The fields are an element that is often not discussed in the guides. Spring is the best season to know the island of Ibiza in all its colours. Yellow, green, red, pink, white and blue are some of the shades that cover the earth.
Thanks to a rainy winter, the fields enjoy running water this year. The numerous torrents are carriers of life during these months. The Santa Eulalia River, unique in the Balearic Islands, has redrawn its flow and flows into the sea, closing the water life cycle.
Intercorp also opens its doors during spring to the sound of the calm rhythm of the island. Do you need any more reasons to discover Ibiza in spring?
