Day 4 - Day 4 Ibiza, Balearic Islands - Spain

You can easily take a trip around the island from here, stopping off at one of the often deserted stunning white beaches for a dip in the azure seas. Formentera is much quieter than it's neighbouring Ibiza and is definitely for those who like the gentler pace.
