History

In 654, the Phoenician colonists founded the port on the Balearic Islands called Ibossim. A little later, the name has changed to the Roman manner as "Ebusus." With the weakening of the Phenicia after the Assyrian invasion, Ibiza fell under the influence of Carthage, also the former Phoenician colony. The island was a supplier of natural paint, salt, fish sauce (Garuma) and wool.

Ibiza became a major trading center of the Mediterranean. During the second Punic war, the island was attacked, but still belonged to Carthage. After the fall of the military power of Carthagen, Ibiza moved to the Romans, who saved the island from further destruction and allowed him to continue to lead his Carthage-Punic War, right up to the days of the Hope, when the island became the official Roman city. For this reason, today Ibiza is a magnificent sample of the late Carthage-Punic period. During the reign of the Roman Empire, the island has become a quiet imperial military post, removed from important trade routes of that time.

After the fall of the Roman Empire and the short period of the first barbarians, and then the period of the Byzantine rule, the island was captured by Muslims, however, like most of the territory of the Iberian Peninsula.

The island was returned to the Christian world by King James I Aragon in 1235. Shortly thereafter, the island was able to achieve his independent management, but in 1715 the King of Philip V Spanish abolished local state autonomy. The declaration of democracy at the end of the 1970s led to the status of the autonomy of the Balearic Islands.

Today, Ibiza Island is part of the Autonomous Region of the Balearic Islands, along with Mallorca, Menorca and Formenter.

Security

Rest on Ibiza Island - the occupation is quite safe. The crime rate is very low here. But, as in any other, a completely civilized place, during large clusters of tourists and in Ibiza, small troubles are possible, like pocket theft or theft of personal belongings. Therefore, recommendations will be standard: closely follow your bags and photos and video equipment, do not carry large amounts of cash, documents and air tickets. You should also not leave valuable things in sight in the car rental.

Since Ibiza Island is considered to be the Mecca of the Clubber of all kinds and masters, and wears the name of the "Island of the Holiday", he has "around" some stereotypes that it is worth dispel.

So, it is not necessary to think that there are various kinds of narcotic substances on the island in free circulation. Ibiza is all the same Spain, and, according to the current Spanish legislation, the use and sale of narcotic and drug-containing substances (cannabis, amphetamines, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, ketamine, heroin, etc.) - severely punishable! The maximum punishment (for drug trafficking or smuggling) is 12 years in prison.

The second myth, which is worthwhile, is the confidence of some holidaymakers in the fact that Ibice can be "stung up" alcohol around the clock and everywhere. In general, then, of course, you can, if I really want. But here, too, there are nuances: it is absolutely unacceptable to sit behind the wheel of a car in a drunken form - a fine of 300 to 600 euros. For an attempt to "solve the issue" by giving a bribe to the Polishmen - prison. Local workers of the law are incomprehensible.

From the second myth of the unlimited use of alcohol, our following recommendations arise - regarding health. If the purpose of your visit to Ibiz is not an attempt on your own organism, you should not drink strong alcoholic beverages in the day heat. Desire in the dark and without accompanying explore the local relief dictated by several cocktails, it is also better to suppress. In a word, remember how the prayer, the phrase from your insurance that everything that happens to you into alcohol intoxication is "an insured event is not.

If you do not take into account the consequences of excessive libations in clubs, other health problems can be solved by contacting the nearest pharmacy (Farmacia) marked with a green cross. Local pharmacists are highly qualified, they can give you the necessary advice in English and even provide first aid.

Myth about the availability of sex entertainment in Ibiza We will not be discharged, because in the end everyone finds what is looking for. We just want to draw the attention of tourists to the fact that contraceptives are not sold on the island at every step. Remember that you can only buy them in pharmacies (most of which are closed at night) or in the only round-the-clock machine on C / Antoni Palau in Ibiza Town (next to the entrance to the Old Town).
