I just got back to Barcelona after 3 days in Ibiza. Fantastic time as usual.
We Love Space was insanely packed (more than anytime I went last year). I spent most of my time in the Covered Terrace and the Red Box. 2 Many Dj's were good, but it was so packed (very hard to move and dance).
Cocoon was awesome as always. Both Carl Craig and Sven Vath played great, great sets and yes, the crowd is really there for the music (rather than the scene).
Carl Cox's opening night at Space was fantastic. Packed, but not as much as We Love Space. Both Nic Fanciulli and Carl Cox played great danceable sets. Cox's visuals were good (but we're pretty spoiled with Avalon now...), and the show was cool.
I saw no difference in any prices, and it was "as crowded" as the same time last year (which it means it's down since years past). My friends in San An said that their boat tours are doing ok. I paid for as much as possible on my trip while the Euro was down (got about $1=.80€). It's creeped a bit back up since then, but much cheaper than last year (where it was less than $1=.67€)
It's been really hot (36+ during the day) which sucks all the life out of you if you're at the beach during the afternoon.
Ibiza Town is still fun (walking around the port area): we went back to the same bar (MAD), and they remembered us from last year. We got 2:1 mojitos all night and a bunch of free hierbas.
Playa d'en Bossa is really the place to stay. However, next year, it's time to rent a car and explore the rest of the island.
I'll have some pictures up soon. |

Cool. You probably picked the best three days to hit the Island, with WLS, Cocoon, and the Carl Cox opening. |

I got a bit lucky (timing worked out perfectly). Barcelona was so nice and relaxing, and now I'm in Sitges for 4 days where it is another 4-day-long huge party.
I think all I'm going to do on the flight home is sleep. |

Hey Fellow TA's!
As a heads up, I'll be hitting up Spain btwn the dates of 9/4-9/17th and wanted to reach out to ya'all. It'd be cool to meet up and also see where everyone's staying, etc. in Ibiza. I've yet to finish reading this whole thread.. but just wanted to say hello first + put my name out there as a fellow attendee!

Finally saw this thread. Not sure if anyone is going, but I'm going to be there from Thursday 8/12 - Saturday 8/21. This is my second time going and I think I will enjoy it even more this time (like WMC).
There are some sick shows on the docket, even better than I ever would have imagined. The Night I'm most anticipating would probably be Cox, Digweed, and to a way lesser extent Fatboy Slim.
Thursday: Prydz, Style of Eye, Deadmau5, and Chris Lake
Friday: 2ManyDjs Live
Saturday: chill/beach parties
Sunday: TBD, probably We Love Space: lots of genres: Felix, Groove Armada (not my favorite), Zabiela, and Funkagenda
Monday: Axwell, Angello, Benassi or Sven, Hawtin, and Dubfire
Tuesday: Cox, Digweed, Fatboy Slim @ Space
Wednesday: Morillo and Fake Blood @ PAcha
Thursday: Guetta/Afrojack or Tennaglia 5hr set w/Picotto at Space
Friday: Fedde @ Pacha
