Hidden historic gems in Ibiza shows the island has more to offer than nightlife

So many destinations, how do you choose?

Rule No 1: beware of labelling. A first-time visitor to Ibiza in May, I half expected an afternoon of the living dead scenario — because I’d swallowed the “Ibiza means clubbing” label.

Not having enjoyed nightclubs since the 1980s, I’d taken Ibiza off my destination list, mistakenly fearing hordes of hungover palefaced teenagers waking at noon and wandering like zombies, after their 12-hour beach raves until 6am.
