I found this article just a few days ago, despite it was actually written on a Valentine Day last year. This article is perfect example of successful propagation of rural tourism, describing its benefits to wide auduence, and at the same time, the article accentuates why it is good for Ibiza in particular. Most of practical notes and advices are valid for all other places open for rural tourists - but this guys also provide information about accommodation and activities on this Balearic Island, widely known for its club life.

Those of us who have heard the word "Parador" before, might think that paradores are not something that should be discussed on a site that specializes on rural, responsible and green travel. Well, while admitting that many paradores are not exactly in the countryside, other half is actually located in rural areas, providing such degree of harmony with landscapes and historical environment as few establishments can ever do.
