The Goddess Tanit

Let’s talk a bit of our history. The Carthaginian goddess Tanit was worshiped as the goddess of sexuality, fertility and death. Ibiza is known as it’s island since the Carthaginians whom were brought it in 600 BC when they settled in Ibiza. The Romans called "Dea Caelestis" and venerated as "Juno".

Today, the goddess Tanit remains revered in Ibiza and its ancient temple, a cave with an altar in the center, located on the road to Portinatx and designated "Cova de’s Cuieram" is a different tourist attraction in northern the island.

For the Carthaginians, Ibiza was sacred ground and buried the nobility in Dalt Vila, in "Puig d’es Molins" which today remains one of the best examples of Carthaginian necropolis in the world.

It is thought that the powers of Tanit reside in drinking water (sources, etc.) of the island, which contains, according to legend, the power of purification, fertility and magnetic balance. Punic rituals are still practiced with dances around wells and water sources to commemorate Tanit.

In early 1900, six hundred clay statues of Tanit in "Cova Des Cuieram" are discovered and now on display in the Archaeological Museum of Ibiza Town. The caves are in a remote forest area in a mountain of San Vicente and their opening to the public from 9 to 13 hours. A car is essential if you wish to visit these caves.

Let’s go and see it!!

      Tap water in Ibiza


      Both tourists who come to Ibiza on holiday or the people who live all year long on the island, must understand that water is a valuable good. Here at Prestige Properties, one of the most important estate agencies in Ibiza since 1989, many people ask if tap water is drinkable. There is a rumor that the tap water is not drinkable, however it is not true. On the island, running water comes from two places: from the rain and from the sea; rainwater falls and seeps into the underground lakes, while sea water is pumped by three desalination plants that cleanse water, extract salt and treat it with chlorine in order to kill bacteria.

      The world of gambling has witnessed a significant transformation with the advent of online casinos. Over the past few decades, the popularity of online casinos has grown exponentially, providing players with a free $50 pokies no deposit sign up bonus australia convenient and immersive gambling experience from the comfort of their homes. This article delves into the factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of online casinos and presents a timeline of their evolution.

      Then, drink tap water in Ibiza is possible, however, the taste really is not pleasant; in addition, to drink this water too long, you can get stomach aches since the water from private wells has high levels of lime. To be honest, it is a privilege to have its own drinking water but often not good for the body.

      In Ibiza, there are water sale areas, water from boreholes which has been treated. This is the cheapest way of quality drinking water without fearing those dreaded problems.

      Anyway, most tourists drink bottled water, which can be bought in any supermarket on the island. On the other hand, for children, bottled water with lower levels of mineralization is always better.

      It is always better to drink water with high levels of magnesium and low sodium levels.
