Ibiza

It’s probably one of the world’s best known places, so I am not going to describe it.

Ibiza 09

I will just say that I got truly impressed by the clean water, the nature in the island and the hundreds of nice coves all around the island.

It was quite interesting to walk around the Ibiza city, and see a city totally ready for the tourists. In some sense, it was like some areas of Benidorm, where you cannot imagine life without sun and crowds of people. Nevertheless, Ibiza has something else.

Ibiza is the destination of all kind of people: the ones who look for splendid beaches like the ones in Formentera, the ones looking for any of the hundreds of discos in the island, the ones of the yachts, the hippies, … Everybody.

And in all those groups, we can find the “poor” tourists (those coming to party or to the beach for a weekend for a few euros including hotel, meals and discos), and those who make Ibiza one of the places with a highest number of luxury cars in the world (I’m still shocked with how many people go there just to show off, without paying attention to the “how much”)… Strange but attractive combination. Only one thing in common: “enjoy”.

Ibiza 02

I must say that I discover a small paradise much closer than expected: Formentera. It is a small island next to Ibiza, not as populated as the latter, but with really nice beaches with water like in the Caribbean Sea.

There is an advertisement of a beer, which has been filmed in Formentera and tries to transmit the life in the Balearic islands in summer… It’s a hot among the local people in Ibiza and surroundings, and it is impossible not to get caught by the rhythm of the song.
