The star products of Ibizan cuisine are undoubtedly the fish and seafood that fishermen catch with their nets and gear. Less often, however, reference is made to the extraordinary quality of cephalopod molluscs, which are an essential part of the island's marine recipes. With them, such emblematic dishes as octopus frita or squid stuffed with sobrasada, which is the Pitiuso sausage...

In the past, summer was the time to dry figs and apricots, following an ancient technique that provided food for families throughout the year. Fig trees are as important in the Ibiza countryside as almond, carob and olive trees, and they are still made to grow wide by means of props.

One of the wonders that Ibiza offers is its seabed, full of landscapes invaded by light, which combine posidonia meadows, wrecks, sandy bottoms and rocks dotted with caves and holes, where all kinds of species live.
