Ibiza
As tempertaures begin to rise, life on the Balearic island of Ibiza begins to pick up pace with restaurants and bars re-opening and thanks to the short two and a half hour flight, the isle of Eivissa is certainly within reach for the May Bank Holiday this year. For those with a taste for fine food, guided food tours are available to join in Ibiza town on Saturday mornings sampling everything from freshly baked pastries to small tapas plates and the ‘catch of the day.’ The stunning cove of Sol d’en Serra offers an idyllic escape to the coastline with day beds available to lounge in the sun, before taking in the spectacular evening sunsets May has to offer.
