ibiza

ibiza is in the south of the balearic group and the most western island, very close to mainland spain. we had heard about this island but really did not know much about it. when we arrived we realized that the place is famous for the clubs, the music and the parties. the port of san antonio, where we anchored is not very pretty. it has tall ugly buildings from them 80s and the shops and restaurants are not stylish at all . everything is tailored for the tourist that visits this place which must average around 18 years of age. it is like cancun on spring break. little activity in the day and lots of parties at night. young europeans, mostly british, come here in the summer to party hard. Walking around the streets of san antonio confirmed to us that we are definitely getting old.


besides the craziness of the town, we found the port to be conformable and we enjoyed the company of other sailor friends we met here. in fact this island was particularly special for that. we met wonderful people from spain whom we went with to the famous café del mar bar and had some drinks. We also met a great couple from Ukraine and another from south africa. With all of them we spent some quality time.







we also did the typical touring around by bus this time and discovered some pretty and interesting parts of the town of Ibiza on the other side of the island. at the end we had a wonderful time here; not the typical party time but some more quiet and relaxing one!
