Besides the race, that starts and ends in Sant Antoni, this event includes music shows from six o’clock.
Learn about Ibiza’s history with the guided tours of Dalt Vila
Dalt Vila, the old town of Eivissa is one of the key places for those who are visiting the island.

Enjoy Ibiza’s countryside through its trails and coves
Not all October plans in Ibiza have to be on a specific date. Autumn brings you a great opportunity to explore the island’s countryside, hike along coast trails and discover coves and other landscapes that can get pretty crowded in the summer. Near our hotel in Es Canar, you’ll find walks and bike trails for different levels as well as a wide range of beaches and coves to enjoy the last swims of the year in the Mediterranean Sea.
Eat and dance at the Soul Food Fest
On Monday 12th October, at the Auditorio Caló de s’Oli, in Portmany bay, you’ll be able to come to the latest edition of this free music event that brings together traditional food from southern US and live soul and blues shows.
