4 ~~~ Formentera - Ibiza's hippy sister The Balearic island of Formentera is Ibiza's chilled-out little sister, beloved for its sensational beaches and off-grid hippy vibe The island of Formentera, fourth largest of the Balearics, hangs off the southern edge of Ibiza like an unevenly formed dog bone dangling on a string. When I lived in Ibiza, I could never quite see the point of Formentera. Although it was right next door, it seemed a long way away. I used to send house guests there for the weekend, and they would come back wild-haired and unkempt, with aching muscles and sand in their shoes. When you asked what they'd seen and done, they shrugged. They had cycled about, lazed on the beautiful beaches… Clearly there wasn't a whole lot to do there. Perhaps that was the point: it was a less-is-more island whose very lack of action was part of the attraction. www.cntraveller.com/article/formentera-beach-and-hotels-spain5 December 2018

To get you started on the right foot, we, the editors of Condé Nast Traveller Spain, took a look around our own backyard. Here we share 23 places that you’ll want to visit next year – we hope to run into you on a playa or in the Pyrenees. The start of a new year offers an opportunity to draw up lists of resolutions, and in our case, that means deciding which destinations around the world we want to explore. As the editors of Condé Nast Traveller Spain, we have collectively created another list: 23 places that we want to visit, and revisit, that are close to home – in Spain and Portugal too. At the same time, the editors of all of the Condé Nast Traveller editions around the world have been discussing, debating, and defending their choices in order to create a collective list of the top 23 places to visit around the world in 2023. We are happy that two of our picks – a Spanish province and a town in the Alentejo region of Portugal – made the global list. We also hope the double honour for these two destinations will serve as a recognition of their new cultural, gastronomic, and hospitality offerings as well as encourage readers to go visit and see them in person. Before you read further, you might want to grab a pen and a calendar as you begin to plan a year full of travel. And don’t forget to visit our global list of international destinations to visit next year – the best places to travel in 2023, vetted by Condé Nast Traveller editors, plus ideas for places to travel in the UK, places to go in the USA and destinations to book in India. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/best-places-to-travel-in-spain#29 November 2022
