i've been to far more beautiful places than ibiza. i will admit there are some amazing shoreline vista, but besides that, there isn't much on the island that makes it beautiful. The hotels are shit, the towns look run down, and the island resembles an arid landscape (which i hardly find beautiful).
And don't give me that crap about ibiza not being all about clubbing, it absolutely is. Besides the clubbing there isn't anything else on the island worth spending money on. The food is horrendous and the service is even worse, the people aren't exactly friendly, and the crowds are just downright rowdy.
with all that said, it isn't a bad time, just not what was expected.
Oh yeah, and having people tell you why they are better than americans (or imply that they are better) isn't exactly a good time. it's happened 3 times already, and all i did to provoke the comments was confirm to these people that i am american after they asked. To top all that shit off, my cell phone was pick pocketed by some trashy fuckrag. when i felt it i immediately turned, but i couldn't figure out who the fuck it was. |
first thing is, you need to settle down. and like i said before, you definitely missed a lot of what ibiza had to offer.
1> i never said that ibiza was THEE most beautiful place. all i said that it was beautiful (and yes, i have traveled a lot in my life too.)
2> you had some bad experiences there and i'm sorry to hear but it really sounds like it's skewing your opinion, which is understandable. for one, i've had amazing food in several different cities and small towns there (my mom is from italy, so i know what good food is, she cooks night and day). locals were really friendly to us, (the brits were the nasty ones there.) the key is renting a car and actually exploring other places than san antonio and ibiza town.
3> san antonio is basically completely trashed, ibiza town and lots of other cities in ibiza are beautiful.
4> ibiza has a shitload of history, dating back literally thousands of years ago.. similar to sicily, it was invaded by a lot of different tribes and was even involved in the crusades.. just as a short example of things you can find out (but hey, i'm a geek for that stuff so obviously if you're not into it, you wouldn't dig that aspect of it.) you can even see places that were invaded, escape routes, where battles took place, etc. the fact that it's like sicily is why it's also appealing to me, i feel like i'm home when i'm driving around the countryside there or lying on huge boulder on a beach with no one but my boyfriend and me as far as the eye can see.
5> santa eulalia, porto lineaux, san josep are full of families-- i was on the plane with two 80 yr old italians and their little poodle on the way there 2 years ago. i think it's safe to say that you wouldn't see then in dc10 on monday afternoon. ibiza is more than just clubbing; however, unfortunately, that's all people know it for.
