The Colorful Culture and History Of Ibiza

After I was unable to get a cheap flight to Kisumu was cancelled, I decided to head over to Spain. Ibiza is where I landed!

 The clubs and the club culture are the main attraction of many to the wonderful island of Ibiza. Other attractions include the many water sports and the sunny sandy beaches. All these are phenomenon, but there is a lot more such as studying and discovering the culture and history of Ibiza. You should consider visiting cultural and historical sites to learn about the culture and history– it will be a good break from the monotony of clubbing.

Apart from culture, there are lots of attractive things to see. For example, you can go fish finding, snorkeling, trekking and so on. These are some of the activities most people don't think of when going to Ibiza.

Let's go back to the history and culture of Ibiza.

The culture of Ibiza as people know it now, but which is not the real culture of the residents, started in the 1960 with the hippies who came from all over the world and were attracted to the island by its unmatched weather and beaches. In the 1970s, the island continued to attract people and that is when the most famous clubs to date, the Amnesia and Pacha were put up, followed closely by Privilege which went by the name Ku Club then. The culture of the club is now a club culture with almost everything that goes on in the island being centered on partying and clubbing.

The history of Ibiza goes back many years, about 3000 years, and it is important to understand this history so as to enjoy your time in the island more, especially if you will be going out sightseeing. The history tells us that the city was discovered by Carthaginians and without going into boring details, wars were won and lost and now the Spaniards proudly own the magical island. Other things that we learn from the history of the destination is that at some point Islam was the major religion, that the island suffered from the plundering and marauding by pirates by virtue of its location, that it has changed hands countless times and that evidence of this history can still be found etched in the island’s architecture.
