A panoramic drive brings you to El Soto, high atop D’alt Vila, Ibiza’s Old Walled Town. This beautiful, fortified town-within-a-town boasts an impressive castle and cathedral at its summit. The town's walls date from the end of the 16th century, but the site of Ibiza’s Old Town has been essential to the island's defenses and administration for more than 2000 years. Enjoy stunning views over Ibiza's sister island, Formentera, and the port of Ibiza.
Walk from the top of D’alt Vila via tiny, whitewashed alleys and a series of cobblestone streets and courtyards to visit the 13th-century Maria de les Neus Cathedral and the Diocesan Museum. The cathedral is a very visible tower whose silhouette can be seen for miles. You will also visit the Puget Museum and see the Dominican Convent (now the Town Hall), the Chapel of San Ciriaco, and the Episcopal Palace (now the Bishop’s Residence).
Leaving the ancient city walls through one of the wall doors, you will return to the lively port of Ibiza and relax over a glass of Cava sangria at a tiny bistro. Take advantage of some free time to stroll on your own and finally return to the ship by bus.
