May 21st, 2009 God’s Finger
One of the most interesting aspects of Ibiza, and something most potential vacationers may want to know, is that the island is toning down its party reputation. While it is not trying to eliminate the night clubs or even reduce the amount of tourists that are attracted to it, the government of Ibiza is interested in highlighting the aspects of the island that are more attractive to families. This will also have the effect of drawing greater international interest to and awareness of the island. Regardless of the reason for the visit, all tourists enjoy the delicious food that is served at the fine Ibiza restaurants.
One of the aspects a nature lover will appreciate about Ibiza is the fact that a large portion of the island’s land is classified as UN World Heritage sites. This means that they are protected from market exploitation and commercial developments. God’s Finger may have had a hand in this, however it is also one of the protected sites. God’s Finger is also the name of an area in the Benirras Bay and contains some of the greatest historical and traditional cultural heritage elements to be found. Another protected location is the area of Ibicenco. It is so beautiful that it draws countless artists and photographers that wish to capture some of its glory and portray the natural beauty of the island.
One of the official measures the government is taking to attract a more diverse population of tourists is to implement a legal requirement that all new hotels be of 5 star status. Tourist will enjoy this increased availability of luxury accommodations before heading out to explore the island. One of the more popular outdoor activities is spending the day at the beach at Es Canar. It is one of the local and tourist favorites among all the beaches on the island because it offers some of the most spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea . It also provides plenty of activity options, including kiking, boating, and swimming.
