Whats the story of Atlantis? Who carved the rocks? Hippies? Was that painting that was on the cover of one of the cafe del mar albums restored after it was vandalised?

Nooo... hippies gave Sa Pedrera the name of Atlantis (they also renamed Sa Penya Esbarrada as Puertas del Cielo, for example) but it was there various centuries before they ever heard about Ibiza. It used to be a quarry and part of the stones used to build the walls of Dalt Vila came from there!

Instagram and excessive location-sharing leading to more and more accidents there by the looks of things.

Civil Guard agents rescue the body of the man who died yesterday. Sergio G. Cañizares
A 34-year-old man, apparently of American nationality , died yesterday morning at about noon after falling from a great height near Sa Pedrera in Cala d'Hort, in the municipality of Sant Josep , they reported from the services of 112 and 061.
Although it was initially reported that the man was practicing climbing in this area, apparently he was only walking along with his partner when the accident occurred. The man fell from an approximate height of about 25 meters. The couple had just visited Sa Torre des Savinar and had just started the excursion to Sa Pedrera.
Shortly after the accident occurred, an out-of-duty nurse who was there attended the man, although he could not do anything for him, they reported from the City Council of Sant Josep and from the 112 Emergency Service.
Quickly, the firefighters of the Consell de Ibiza moved to the site, and also mobilized the specialists of the Vertical Rescue Group (GRV). Likewise, agents from the Civil Guard and the Local Police of Sant Josep came to the area.
Initially the intervention of the Civil Guard helicopter was requested in order to rescue the hiker's body, but finally the option was ruled out and it was decided to undertake the operation by land. The GRV firefighters were in charge of carrying out the rescue, a work of several hours, since they had to install a pulley system. The 112 service mobilized a psychologist to care for the deceased's relatives .
Last day 4, the GRV climbers rescued two women in the same area where the fatal accident occurred yesterday.
The drone service of the Local Police of Sant Josep facilitated the location of the first wound, a tourist who had suffered an ankle fracture. After offering a first health care at the site, the evacuation by sea was chosen, a task carried out by Civil Protection of Sant Josep.The second rescue occurred shortly after.
While they were there, firefighters were required by tourists who told them that a woman had suffered a muscle problem that prevented her from walking. Firefighters again carried out another evacuation with the help of Civil Protection. Evacuations were not easy due to the state of the sea.
On July 15, firefighters carried out another very similar rescue. On that occasion it was a young Spaniard who was injured in the back after jumping into the sea from a rock and could not rise again on his own foot.

Well reading that last post was Grimm, glad I read this after.
Finally found and made the trip down to Atlantis (5 of us) Was a slow climb down as very slippery on the first part, and my friend and son was being very cautious and concerned that they are gonna struggle to get back up.
once down sea was very choppy today so the pool part didn’t look as peaceful as some of the pics you can find. Fascinating place though, we only stayed where the big graffitied rock is so never went down further.
The climb up was quicker but it took it out of my mate and he was struggling a few times so had to stop, although wasn’t complaining. Lucky we had a couple of bottles of water otherwise we would have been f£&@ed.
Would I do it again? Yes, but not today with the missus like I said I would. After doing a 12k hike to playa Comte the same morning I am ready for a chill, although in my head I’m contemplating climbing up to the watch tower. Probably best wait for that one next time.
Def don’t advise anyone do Atlantis in high heat. It’s been about 22/23 degrees I think with a bit of wind and that was bad enough.
Also lastly, lady taking our group photo was pregnant, and that put a stop to my mate moaning about getting down and going back up. Hopefully she got back up ok,

here in ibiza there are two spots where they always have to go rescue unaccompanied hikers: the cave of light...and atlantis. lots of people completely underestimate going down to 'atlantis', and they especially underestimate the steep way back up. the fire brigade, which is responsible for the rescues here, often has to go there to help people that are totally dehydrated and/or with sunstrokes.
for anyone wanting to do the trek down to atlantis: wear sneakers/trainers (I've seen lots of people cutting their feet trying to do the hike in flipflops) and bring PLENTY of water. and as @gutsy correctly says, don't do it in the middle of the day in the summer heat. it's like an oven down there and there is zero shade.
