Ibiza

Ibiza does not need any introduction in most of the developed world. This island in the Mediterranean Sea, best known for its nightlife (who hasn’t heard about Pacha Ibiza?), attracts millions of tourists every summer. This figure includes from the young groups looking for some fun in the discos and recovering in the afternoon in the beach, to wealthy and famous people with clear intentions of showing off… and everybody in any middle point.

But not everybody goes there because of the nightlife, and it was not my case either. Ibiza is a great place to enjoy the sea, and after this visit I am even more convinced that we underrate our islands in Mediterranean Sea. I went in the beginning of September and I do not remember having enjoyed more as this time, being in beach and discovering new calas every day.

Due to its location this island has been very important in the history of Mediterranean kingdoms and empires, and hence, the capital of the island is strongly fortified, and the life of the town was originally based in the upper part of the city (“Dalt Vila”). Great walk to complement the sun hours.

Stockholm

Weddings this year are bringing me to really nice locations. Some of them new, like Bulgaria in May, and some others “old friends” of mine, like Sevilla where I lived for a year, or Stockholm which hosted me up to half year.

I took one full week to enjoy the city again, and meet the people who were not on holidays that week (July is the holidays’ month in Sweden), and I discovered new areas which in Summer become really relevant in this city.

As you may know, Stockholm is composed of many islands, and what in winter is a source of cold feeling (due to humidity), in Summer is really enjoyable.

There is no single meter of “coast” in any island which is private. This lets you to walk around the islands next to the channels and the lakes, and find many places where to get a bath or just lay next to the water.

The city is full of piers for the lucky people owning a boat, and those not that lucky use them for sunbathing and bathing, making it a really lively city.
