Every Wednesday, Es Cana - on the north west side of Ibiza - plays host to its famous Hippy Market. Hundreds flock to this little town for the shopping and atmosphere. As I suspected, it's pretty un-hippy-like - with plenty of stalls selling items you may find elsewhere in Ibiza (floral dressed, 'I Love Ibiza' shirts, bracelets etc), but there is certainly more of a selection and a really amazing range of colours, sounds and smells. From the dance-music being played in the central podium, to the incense and food scent in the air - it's a pretty nice bohemian change from the club-heavy St Antonio side of the island that people know more about. Once I was done in the market, I had a wander around Es Cana (which incidentally took three different buses to get to - what an adventure!) and ended up having a relax on the nice quiet beach there. Recommended.
