Why Es Vedra matters

Es Vedra is a steep, uninhabited rock rising straight from the sea off the south-west corner of Ibiza. Legends say it has magnetic powers, and that it is the home of sirens. Whatever you believe, sunset here is spectacular. Watch from the cliffs above Cala d'Hort or from a boat.
