Ibiza is the perfect if you love the warm summer sun. The island is famous for its hot summers and perfect beach weather and the sunshine is certainly plentiful during this time.

San Antonio on the west coast of Ibiza is a great place to come on holiday " this beautiful bay with its lovely beaches, spectacular sunsets and Mediterranean sunshine is very attractive. San An tends to be spoiled by the English in football shirts. There are plenty of English bars and greasy spoon cafes to help the English feel like they never left home. You can spot the English as they trudge around too hot and red with sunburn.

Ibiza has proved a popular destination throughout the years for everyone from the Jet Set to the Hippies. What ever kind of holiday you want Ibiza has something for you. One of the best months to visit is September when the sea is still warm but the sun is cooler and most of the tourists have left. - 29948
