🚇 Transit & Pacing
Principles
- Siesta is sacred: Do not plan activities between 2 PM and 5 PM in the interior.
- Navigate by 'Roundabouts': Follow signs for the Egg (San An) or the Mermaid (Ibiza Town).
- Late Dining: Book dinner for 9:30 PM to eat when the locals do.
Make It Easier
- The L10 bus connects the airport to the city center every 20-30 minutes.
- Most village parking is free, but Ibiza Town parking is expensive—use the 'P+R' lots.
