Ibiza Travel Blogs

Background: Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). In the second half of the 20th century, Spain has played a catch-up role in the western international community; it joined the EU in 1986. Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and further reductions in unemployment.

IBIZA, ONE OF THE BALEARIC ISLANDS OF SPAIN - JUNE 2003 Yep, I'm at it again, doing the blog time-travel - knocking off the easy ones, of which 5 days in Ibiza qualifies.

We were living in Germany then and decided a trip to Ibiza [View Full Entry]

Ibiza

Europe » Spain » Balearic Islands » Ibiza

So after a few months of working in the UK we were off on our first big trip for the year! Finished up work for the day and made a dash for Gatwick Airport where we caught our flight to Ibiza! Arrived at about 2am and by the time we made it to our hotel it was getting late so we called it a night so we could get up bright and early for a big day/night! We were staying at Hostal Rosalia in San Antonio, and yes, everybody is right about San An - It is full of poms, and [View Full Entry]

Jet ride
From Amsterdam to Ibiza

Ibiza - Balearic Islands Here's the first entry from my blog I'm taking some time to write, starting with a couple weeks back during the trip sometime mid-August. **** So here I am for the third time on the island of Ibiza. I got here Friday afternoon from LAX via Amsterdam. I then boarded a private jet on the other side of Schipol airport with a few people and I swear I wanted to pinch myself. I am so stoked to be back here. The flight only took a couple hours down to the island passing over France, and it was [View Full Entry]

Sunset from the balcony

Sorry it's been so long since our last update. We've been spending the last week or so at a couchsurfer's place in Granada. His place is really nice and has an amazing view of all Granada. Through him we met a lot of other couchsurfers too, from all over the world - Germany, France, England, Serbia, Italy, Canada... and for the most part they were all really cool. We went out for a few nights until the sun was coming up and ended up spending most of our days resting up from that. Unfortunately we missed our chance to actually see [View Full Entry]

IBIZA: la dalt Vila

En Ibiza apenas íbamos a pasar unas horas, entre un barco y otro para volver a Mallorca....Tuvimos tiempo para subir a la Dalt Vila, el casco antigua de la ciudad, caminar un poco por las callejuelas, atravesar las murallas e ir ascendiendo.....Esas horas lo pasamos caminando por allí, sacamos algunas fotos y unas tres horas más tarde, salíamos en el barco para hacer una travesía de casi tres horas al volver a Palma; esta vez, con un mar más embravecido que la mañana en que emprendíamos el viaje. Después de unos días volvíamos cansados y algo tristes porque el viaje [View Full Entry]

My party outfit
Hot...

First, an update So as of a week ago I am officially unemployed again. Yes, I've had enough of working 7 days a week and called it quits, so now it's back to fun, relaxing and doing whatever I want. So of course, I went to Ibiza for a few days... Ibiza: beautiful people, clubs, the beach and that's pretty much it There is only one reason for going to Ibiza: partying. If you want to do relaxing there are other baleric islands to choose from (Majorca, Manorca, etc). Ibiza is where the music is loud, the nights are late and [View Full Entry]

Cafe del Mar Sunset
(Yes, I know everyone has this photo)

Almost a year to the day since my last trip to Ibiza, I was back again ... and for another bux do.....! I think this could be my third bux ... is there some kind of rule that I should be aware of like 'Three time on a bux do, never a bride?' Oh well, it's done now. This time it was to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Terry and Jai. Brigid and I arrived on the 'party plane'(1) from London at 2 am on Friday morning. For once, we did the sensible thing and went to bed rather than joining [View Full Entry]

Sunset at Beniras

I am quickly learning that life likes to be the one in control and when you surrender to that, things get very interesting. so my three month life experience idea at falcon blanco came to a crashing end. I decided that I really want to be in a community where food consciousness was an integral component. Where i could learn to garden and work in a field, pick crops, and then eat a big salad all in one day. The unbelievable amounts of saved 'waste' at the place also were just piling up, being saved for later use. Unfortunately there seemed [View Full Entry]

deciding perfect entrance into the water

I forgot how European radio stations go from Enya, to some spanish song, to britney, to enrique. it is either the best mix or the worst. im going for the latter. the days lose themselves into one another. i have been experimenting with cooking recipes from a moosewood cookbook i found. The oven here is a dial turn without numbers, so i never know the temperature. today i burnt some potatoes into chips. Daily meal at around 5. however, it has sort of turned into a free for all, if you show or not, if someone decides to cook or not. [View Full Entry]
