There are a number of powerfully mystical places on Ibiza which have managed to remain enigmatic and mysterious through an unspoken pact among island dwellers not to disclose their whereabouts. Thus saving them from being spoilt by the developers and their concrete mixer. The most well known of these are familiar names, including Es Vedra, which being an island comprising only cliffs has escaped development, Benniras beach which is now threatened by a development of some 100+ houses, the cave at Es Cuilleram near Cala San Vicente, Punta Galera north of San Antonio and Atlantis itself. Atlantis remains the only one that doesn't appear on the maps, nor is it signposted from any nearby road or path. Being island dwellers and thus tied to the unspoken pact, we are unable to supply directions other than to let you know that you get a spectacular, if distant, arial view of Atlantis from the Torre des Cap des Jueu (pirate watch tower) that overlooks Es Vedra. It's directly below you to the left, but be careful not to fall from the top of the tower as you enjoy the view. Photos of Atlantis
Ok, so you can see it - all that remains for you to do is to find a way down to it...
Upon arrival you will find an extraordinary landscape created over 1,000 years ago when rock was quarried to build the fortress walls of Ibiza town. Over the subsequent centuries other stonemasons and sculptors have applied their own touches to the remaining landscape creating people seemingly emerging from within the rocks, dragons and other symbolic features surrounded by stalactites and stalagmites created with rocks, perforated pebbles and lengths of rope.
A veritable art gallery in the wildest of settings that provides the necessary inspiration to get you back up the cliff to the disappointment of everyday reality.
Not a journey for the faint hearted or the wheelchair, but an unforgettable and haunting experience...
