For the past 30 years, several towns and villages in Ibiza have been celebrating Tourist Day every third Thursday of September. This event is to show the islanders’ gratefulness to loyal travellers who chose the island as their holiday destination. This year, Tourist Day falls on the 21st, but there will be free activities until the 24th. If you’ll be staying in Ibiza during those dates, check out the programme and join the celebrations.
The Town Council of Sant Joan de Labritja celebrates Tourist Day by highlighting one of its most appealing features: Hiking trails. To do so, they have organized three circular guided walks that go past Portinatx (September 21st), the Moscarter lighthouse (September 22nd) and the Culleram cave (September 23rd). To book a place, call the town’s tourist office (Phone: 971 333 075).
