Ibiza is THE clubbing capital of Europe, it is a small Balearic Island just off the coast of Spain and during the summer it literally never sleeps. There are clubs all over the island with most concentrated around San Antonio, we stayed at the Jet Apartments in Playa Den Bossa our room looked over on to Bora Bora beach a beach that is known for its all day parties. When we arrived my friend Freddy AKA “Freddy one beer” and I went to a local bar, it was at this bar that I was first introduced to Tequila in a new way, instead of salt & lemon I had it with Cinnamon and orange, it was beautiful. Then the plan was to go to Pacha night club, at least that was the plan, however Freddy had exceeded his drinking limit and insisted we get some food from our hotel before we hit the club, as it had started to rain I agreed, Freddy was asleep before we even got the food, after the food I woke Freddy up so that we could go to our room, but not before getting some funny pics of him asleep, when he woke up and
in his drunken state he tried to get one of the waitresses to give him their number, I couldn’t be bothered to wait so went up to the room.
When I woke up in the morning it was freezing, I couldn’t believe I had come to a hot country and the weather was rubbish, I looked over and saw that Freddy wasn’t in his bed, this wasn’t unusual for Freddy so thought nothing of it. Eventually at about 11 I got out of bed and went on to the balcony, the sun was shining and everyone was on the beach partying, Freddy had turned the air conditioning on full blast before we went out that’s why it was so cold I thought the weather outside was bad. I saw some of the other guys we had gone out with the night before sat on the beach drinking so I went to join them, when I got there I told them about Freddy not being in the room all night and they pointed at a sun bed in the distance, there was Freddy asleep. It turns out when I left Freddy at the restaurant the night before he had fallen
asleep on the stairs to the hotel and when the other guys came home to get something from their room they found Freddy and then took him to Pacha, where Freddy continued to sleep, when Pacha finished they all went to the beach to continue partying and so that Freddy could have yet another place to sleep lol.
When Freddy eventually woke up I was smashed and so the party had started, we got ready and went to watch the sunset at Cafe Del Mar, Freddy was drunk after two drinks (as usual) and the toilets in the bar had flooded which made for a very slippery floor. When I went to the toilet I almost fell over it was so slippery I warned Freddy, however drunk Freddy doesn’t listen, when Freddy went to the toilet I assumed he had got talking to someone on the way back as he was taking ages, he hadn’t. It turns out Freddy had slipped and fallen over in the toilets and landed face first on to a pint glass, luckily the glass didn’t shatter and he only had a very small, perfect circle shaped cut on his forehead, it was time for Freddy to go home! I got a taxi with him (after what felt like an eternity trying to find a cab that would actually take Freddy) to make sure he actually went back to the hotel and slept then I went to Pacha.....by myself, I had already bought the ticket and wasn’t going to miss another night of partying, the music was awesome and I partied until the club finished at 6am. When I left the club I was still full of energy and someone told me about another club they were going to called Lucifer, count me in, I jumped into a car with four random people from all over Europe and we went to a club which (very randomly) was underground next to a car park, it reached midday and I started to get tired, god knows how I used to party so much when I was younger lol. I left the club and suddenly realised I had absolutely no idea where I was, I asked a Spanish man where I could get a cab but he didn’t speak English, all of a sudden I heard Scottish voices, I ran over to them and asked if they knew where I could get a cab from, they were just about to get in to a cab to go to Space nightclub, it opened at midday and was on until midday the following day and it was just up the road from my hotel, result!
Whilst in the cab with the guys we got talking and they were really cool, they asked if I wanted to go to Space with them “Let me just go and wake my mate Freddy up and we can all go down there” I wish I had energy like that nowadays lol. I went back and woke Freddy up we all had a few drinks and went to Space, unfortunately they wouldn’t let me in as I had shorts on and it’s a good job too I went back to the hotel and crashed out until the evening, Freddy woke me up so that we could go to Space in the evening, I wasn’t feeling too good because of my lack of sleep but went anyway, the music was awesome, we saw Groove Armada live and when their set started the place went crazy I have never been to a club like it anywhere in my life, but the fun didn’t last long I felt so ill from all of the partying the night before that I had to leave after a few hours.
So to recap, Friday night I missed as Freddy was hungry and tired, Saturday night I partied hard at Pacha and also the following morning at Lucifer, Sunday night I only spent a few hours in Space and then went home ill, missing 2/3 nights so far is not cool but at 8am there is a club called DC10 near the airport that only the hardcore clubbers know about, we got there at around midday and it was electric, most of the club is open air and when a flight comes in to land they fly over head and the club goes nuts. We partied all day until the club finished at midnight and then we went back to Pacha, I can’t really remember anything about Pacha or how long I was in there but I had an awesome time.
When I was younger I went to every major clubbing resort in Europe and I have been to quite a few big European festivals but nothing matches Ibiza, when I went in 2004 it was expensive, I remember paying 80 Euros to get into Space night club and about 15 Euros for a drink so I can’t even imagine how expensive it would be now but if you want to go to the best night clubs you have ever been to in your life the price is worth it.
