Despite the fact that February is one of the coldest months in Ibiza and it is not possible to enjoy the sun and the beach as you would in other warmer months, you will always find various reasons to visit the island. If you’re looking for a place where you can experience a relaxed pace of life, enjoy some exceptional carnivals or be the star of a unique nature show, get ready because the island of Ibiza is waiting for you. Here are three suggestions for the month of February. Come and enjoy them with us!
Santa Inés: the paradise of almond blossom
The blossoming of the almond trees in Ibiza is a unique nature show not to be missed. Santa Inés (Santa Agnès) is a beautiful village, located to the north of Sant Antoni, which will keep you away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy coastal towns.
In this charming area, with orange, lemon and almond groves, you will be able to experience the most rural Ibiza. At the end of January and during the month of February, when the almond trees begin to blossom, the town and its surroundings transform to give way to a show that will delight nature lovers. For several weeks, the valley known as “Pla de Corona” is covered with a mantle that dyes everything white and pink. Simply spectacular!
And as a personal recommendation… Don’t forget to take a good camera with you to immortalise the moment!
Carnival in Ibiza
One of the most famous celebrations in various towns on the island are their carnivals, which also take place during the month of February. They are characterised by colourful and popular troupe parades, floats and gastronomic contests, as well as extensive activity programmes.
The best-known carnivals are those of Sant Antoni, Santa Eulària and Ibiza town, in which countless children and adults take part every year. In addition to the parades of troupes and the traditional burial of the sardine, there are concerts, children’s activities and events for all ages.
Don’t miss out on the carnival parade, where every year families, schools, neighbourhood associations and even travellers take part, eager to show off their funniest costumes. Are you going to be one of them?
Patron saint festivities of Santa Eulària
Santa Eulària des Riu is a small town located less than 20 kilometres from the city of Ibiza. Consolidated as a family tourism destination, the town remains a stronghold far from the hectic atmosphere of other towns such as Sant Antoni or Ibiza town.
During the month of February, the patron saint’s “fiestas” of Santa Eulalia are held here, and they are undoubtedly a good excuse to visit the island and take part in all the activities organised during the festivities.
Santa Eulària is full of activities, live music concerts, sporting events and all kinds of festive events for both children and adults. In addition to these proposals, February is always a good time to visit the walled city of Dalt Vila, immerse yourself in Ibiza’s historical heritage, go hiking or visit museums. Because in Ibiza… You’ll always find something to do!
