Ivica, or Ibiza (the Eburos of the ancients), one of the Balearic Islands belonging to Spain, and situate in the Mediterranean, 60 miles E. by N. of Cape San Martin, on the mainland of Spain, and 50 miles S.W. of Majorca, between N. Lat. 38° 50' and 39° 7', and E. Long. 1° 15' and 1° 40'. Greatest length from N.E. to S.W. about 25 miles, and greatest breadth about 13 miles. The coast is indented by numerous small bays, the principal of which are those of San Antonio on the N.W., and of Iviza on the S.E. coast. The surface, in some parts stony, is generally very fertile. The hilly parts are richly wooded. The climate is mild and agreeable, the heat in summer being tempered by the cooling sea-breezes. Oil, wine, corn, and fruits are the principal productions of the islands, but the inhabitants are very indolent, and their modes of cultivation very primitive. Salt is extensively manufactured, and constitutes one of the principal articles of exportation. The fisheries are also important. The capital is Iviza, a fortified town on the S.E. coast, with a good harbour, and containing about 4000 inhabitants. Pop. of island about 12,000.
