Ibiza is famous for its clubbing scene, beautiful beaches, many of the prestigious blue flag award, and a fast growing rural hotel sector.
However this year has seen a massive amount of interest generated in outdoor sporting activities.
The tourist authorities working with the Island and Local Government have made enormous strides in the area of cycle tourism. Ibiza is now criss-crossed with hundreds of kilometres of clearly marked cycle routes which guide riders effortlessly through our beautiful countryside or round the rugged coastline.
There are 20 well planned routes which traverse mountains or more gentler roads, and which pass by the hidden corners of the island taking in ancient wells, monuments, ruins, watch towers and windmills.
Each route has an information board showing the points of interest along the way, and equally as important, the gradient.
Town Halls and tourist offices stock leaflets showing the cycle routes, or information can be obtained from the website Ibiza Cicloturismo, which is currently only in Spanish.
And as most routes just happen to have the odd bar on them, stopping for a cool drink or lunch makes cycling a real pleasure.
