If you want to know about Ibiza, you should just ask my sister. She lives there. And after visiting a few times, I’ve gotten to know this place pretty well. I’ve visited in the Spring once, the rest of the time in the Fall. In Spring — April, for instance — it’s warm and lovely, although the sea is still chilly, even though I swam the last time. Guess it was about the same temperature the water might be on an August day in Brighton. I remember the flowers blooming everywhere and how pretty the countryside is… Still, I prefer September or October for Ibiza. My sister warns that the island can be really warm in July or August. But September, on the other hand, you can still wear a t-shirt at night. And it’s only rained once, whenever I’ve traveled there.
I also like September, too, because it’s off-season, and my sister works at one of the Ibiza boutique hotels, and she has more time off. Many clubs have parties, closing down, late in September, and many bars, including beach bars and restaurants, are still open late. We’re going to a closing party this Saturday, something I usually don’t do, because it’s pretty pricey, around 100 euros, but it looked like so much fun the last time I was here, that I found it hard to walk past the club and not find out what was happening inside.
Up until last year, my sister lived in Ibiza town. I really liked that. You could meet a lot of Spanish people and it felt just like you were in Spain. I also like the Port area and the Dalt Vila is great. She moved to Playa D’En Bossa, one of the longest stretches of beach on the island, because she’s closer to work. It’s a great place, too, but if you’re visiting for the first time, I’d make sure you go around the island — you’d be doing yourself a massive disservice if you don’t!
If I were a newcomer to the island, I’d say you can do two things for yourself. First, get a map. Then get a car and explore the place. Ibiza is a small island, but it’s got a lot of history and a lot of pretty, secluded spots.
