Blogs from Balearic Islands, Spain, Europe - page 34

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.

This morning we had an early wake up as we had about a 5 hour drive down the coast to the town of Denia in order to catch our ferry over to Ibiza. It was quite sad to leave Barcelona.

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. Looking through my journals and notes, I see that I was remise in writing about our short but lovely visit to Ibiza, one of the Balearic Islands of Spain, in June 2003. We were living in Germany then and decided a trip to Ibiza might be fun because friend Cecila Simon, cousin to Victoria and Marcela Sahade, our Argentine daughters, was living and working as a masseuse on the island of Ibiza, not far from Ibiza City, the main ... read more
