During our personal growth associated with each word learned a precise idea, which sometimes does not derive from our direct experience, but from society, which generalizes by packaging it as absolute truth.

This idea that we have about that something, finally, our mental schemes as adults are now rigid and consolidated.

Do you want some examples?

1. Sharks, which frighten us madly (although many of us have not seen one other than an aquarium), attack and kill humans an infinitesimal fraction of times, when compared to the cute hippos or annoying mosquitoes.

2. The guilty "big bones" in overweight people, regarding popular folklore as an alibi for not losing weight. “I'm not fat, I have big bones”, so I can't lose weight even if I want to because I was born like that, ergo I eat a wild boar for breakfast.

There are also ideas and concepts packaged by common knowledge for holiday destinations, such as Ibiza, the stronghold of the people of the night.

The island is famous for its afternoon Ushuaia "parties", for the endless parties that begin on the beach and end (perhaps) after a night spent in one of the most famous clubs such as Pacha or Amnesia.

Ibiza is famous for the myriad of clubs and bars in Playa d’en Bossa and Sant’Antonio, where dancing and getting high are the only conditions required of the participants.

But if for a moment we abandon the idea of ​​Ibiza wanted by modern society to generate money, we will discover that there is much more in Ibiza.

We will discover that the island was chosen by the Phoenicians as the burial place of the powerful because there are no snakes, malefic reptiles according to the Punic religion. If you don't believe it, take a trip to the necropolis of Puig des Molins, still surrounded today by some characteristic windmill, impossible not to photograph.

We will discover that Dalt Vila, the stronghold in the highest part of the city of Ibiza, (UNESCO World Heritage Site), is one of the best-preserved examples of fortress in the world, and which was built by the King of Spain Philip II over the old fortifications of Arab domination to defend the island from the continuous acts of piracy that raged in that period. The landscape that can be admired from the top of the terraces at the top is something superlative.

We will discover that in the north, and more precisely in the bay of Puerto de San Miguel, there is the cave of Can Marça. Once used by smugglers to hide stolen goods, this sub-sea level freshwater cave is home to millennial stalactites and stalagmites.

We will discover the true essence of the island, which can only be seen and perceived during the day.

Along the almost pristine coastline of the northern area of ​​the island you can admire the beautiful colors of the beaches and the most hidden small bays, protected by the fragrant Mediterranean scrub, while in the hinterland the rural landscape will be dominated by pomegranate and carob trees, with the latter very often stormed in the part of the fruit by the greedy snails.

The whole area of ​​the salt flats near the airport is also worthy of attention, where you can spot a famous local resident, the pink flamingo.

Stop for an unforgettable stop in the small village of Santa Gertrude, where at Bar Costa you can enjoy in our opinion the best ham in the world, the pure Pata Negra ham of Bellota, which comes from a certified animal that feeds exclusively on acorns (bellotas) and field herbs. To feel in another dimension, try it over warm bread with tomatoes!

The food itself makes this island one of the destinations not to be missed by the greediest, for those who love good food deriving from a millenary culture where a part of Mediterranean cuisine still reigns.

But there is also room for the most naïve, for those who believe in the supernatural and in the universal cosmic spirit. For them (and for all the others too) a tour near Cala d’Hort is recommended, from where Es Vedrà is visible, a very high rocky spur that attracts the eye with its charm. Those who do not suffer from vertigo can try to reach the nearby des Savinar observation tower, used in the past to spot pirates. It is located about 200 meters above sea level and can be reached after a non-intuitive trekking route, but once you reach the view it will be Oscar-worthy.

Those with good legs can go to Atlantis, an old, abandoned quarry that was used by hippies as a shamanic gathering place in the 1970s.

Finally, again for lovers of esotericism, the existence of UFOs and the curious, we recommend a visit to the contemporary Stonehenge, near Cala Llentia. This installation is called “Time and Space - The Speed ​​of Light” (2014).

Wanted by Guy Lalibertè, founder of Cirque du Soleil, on his return from his trip to orbit, this installation conceived by the extravagant and visionary artist Andrew Rogers was illegally mounted in a week, using basaltic monoliths from Turkey (how they did not notice the transport and assembly of a total of 420 tons is not known).

The installation will leave you amazed to say the least.

If you want to discover this authentic Ibiza choose to stay in the north (we have chosen Santa Eularia des Riu), away from the spotlight of the night, from the noise and wear and tear of modern society.

Beyond the high, beyond the night, beyond any conceptually wrong idea that turns into a stereotype, dictated by the uniforming society of thought.

In Ibiza, beyond the night, there is much more life.
