Hiring a Car in Sant Jordi de ses Salines
There are numerous car hire companies around the island, offering a vast selection of vehicles to choose from. For solo travellers or couples without much luggage, a compact car would be best. However, for families or larger groups, a spacious estate or SUV could be a better choice.
Parking
Parking could be a bit challenging during the summer months when the island is at full capacity. However, most hotels offer their own parking facilities, and there are a few public car parks around the city, particularly near the beach areas.
Attractions
The beautiful Playa d'en Bossa, the longest beach in Ibiza, is located in Sant Jordi de ses Salines. A drive around the island's breathtaking interior is also a must-do. Ibiza's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is worth a visit - just be aware that some of its narrow streets are better explored on foot.
Climate
The weather in Ibiza is typically Mediterranean, meaning warm summers and mild winters. The temperature in the summer averages around 30°C, while in winter it rarely drops below 15°C. Rainfall is scarce, making it excellent weather for a driving holiday at any time of the year.
Currency
The currency in Ibiza, as in the rest of Spain, is the Euro. This could mean managing exchange rates for UK travellers, but ATMs are readily available across the island, as are facilities for card payments.
Seasonal Events
One of the highlights in Ibiza's calendar is the start of the party season in May, with world-renowned DJ's and nightclubs opening their doors. In October, there are closing parties as the season draws to a close. The Ibiza Carnival, held in February, is a vibrant affair with colourful processions and costumes, a different, yet exciting experience to enjoy.
