Carrer de la Verge

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:31:38

Running parallel to the harbourfront, this tiny 400m-long lane is named after the Virgin Mary, though these days it's dedicated more to bacchanalian pleasures than religious devotion. Carrer de la Verge forms Ibiza's main gay village, with around 20 or so bars (many are cavelike spaces, seemingly hacked out of the hillside).

There's also a smattering of gay-orientated boutiques and a restaurant or two. During July and August the tiny streetside terraces are packed with drinkers and there's a heady ambience as the sultry Ibiza night is celebrated long into the wee hours.
