One of the most curious is <strong>Atlantis, an ancient sandstone quarry located in the Cala d\u2019Hort area<\/strong>. It features rock formations sculpted by both man and nature, creating natural pools and geometric figures. It is not easy to get to, but the reward is worth it, as it offers an almost mystical landscape with spectacular views of Es Vedr\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another fascinating spot is the <strong>stone bridge of Es Portixol<\/strong>, a gem for hiking lovers. It is <strong>a virgin cove with a small circular bay surrounded by cliffs<\/strong>, where fishermen used to keep their boats. Access is only possible on foot, which keeps it away from crowds and preserves its wild charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most enigmatic sites on the island is the <strong>Phoenician cemetery of Puig des Molins<\/strong>, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This archaeological site <strong>houses hundreds of tombs carved into the rock<\/strong>, some of which are accessible to the public. The Phoenicians believed in life after death and buried their deceased with personal belongings. It is an ideal place to learn about the history of Ibiza and discover its past as a strategic point in the ancient Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/2-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For mystery and legend lovers, <strong>Es Vedr\u00e0<\/strong> is a must-see. This islet, located off the southwest coast of Ibiza, <strong>is surrounded by myths, ranging from UFO sightings to stories about its strong magnetic field<\/strong>. It is said to be one of the most energetic places on Earth, comparable to the Bermuda Triangle. In addition to its mysticism, it offers one of the most stunning sunsets on the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another place that many are unaware of is the <strong>Cueva de Can Mar\u00e7\u00e0<\/strong>, more than 100,000 years old and located in the north of the island. For centuries, it was used by smugglers to hide goods, and today it is a tourist attraction with light shows and artificial waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-768x511.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-1536x1022.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/breezeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/3.Cueva-de-Can-Marca-2048x1363.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another cave<strong>\u2014this one with cave paintings\u2014, is the Cova des Vi<\/strong> or Cueva de Ses Fontanelles. While some believe these paintings date back to the Bronze Age, others think that, based on the scenes depicted, they are from the Punic period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if we travel to the north of Ibiza, around the village of Santa In\u00e9s de Corona, we can find one of the most spectacular viewpoints. This magical place is known as <strong>Sa Penya Esbarrada or the Gates of Heaven<\/strong>, a name that refers to the natural stone arch on one of the islets visible from the viewpoint.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ibiza hides surprising corners.
