Ibiza

Sorry for not updating in a little bit...I'll try and do better to keep up with it.

Two weekend ago I went to Ibiza with los Lobos. Ibiza is one of Spain's Balearic islands of the eastern coast in the Mediterranean.  It was towards the end of the season in Ibiza and a lot of places were already shut down (It apparently becomes close to a ghost town when it's not summer). Nevertheless we made the most of it.  It was also good because places had a lot of great off-season specials for tapas and such things.

The first night we were there we went to one of the most famous discotecas in Europe. At least in Spain and they have the best discotecas in Spain in the first place.  We went to Pacha Ibiza. I had been to Pacha Madrid when I studied abroad and it was a lot of fun, but this was even bigger. There were a couple different rooms so you could decide which music you liked better. Anyway, in the spirit of a Spaniard, we stayed out until the place closed at 6am.


The next day we went to one of the really nice beaches.  Even though Ibiza is an Island with a lot of beaches, not all of the beaches are beautiful. The beach outside of our hotel was nice enough, but it also had a lot of seaweed buildup.  The sand at the beach we went to was so incredibly soft (unlike the sand here in Torre del Mar which is not as fine). We soaked in the sun and went in the clear teal water. Mind you, this is in October.

Out in the distance, you can see this cool tower, so Robby and I decide to take a hike and explore.  On the way there were all these really cool alcove beaches from the water eroding the shoreline over time.  And then we get to the tower we found out that it was an old watchtower first set up to protect the fishing industry and then it was turned into more of a defensive tower. In the distance, from this point, you could also see a beautiful lighthouse.









Oh, and the last night in Ibiza, I rode a mechanical bull.
