Can Marí§a Caves, Ibiza, Spain

The Spanish island of Ibiza (Eivissa in the native language of Catalan) lies 79 km off the coast of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea .  The Can Marí§a Caves, near the city of San Miguel, are a popular tourist attraction .  Once used by smugglers to store their goods, the caves are a cool respite from the midday heat .  The guided tour of the caves ends with a staged light, and sound show at an artificial waterfall .  The approach to the caves provides an incredible view of Puerto de San Miguel and the Ibiza Wall Lizards (Podarcis pityusensis) watch the tourists as the tourists view the sights.
