Ibiza IV: Ibiza City

How much can you do in 24 hours? Turns out, a lot. We arrived around noon in Ibiza Marina. We were the only boat on the pontoon. Our view? The old town, read castle on a hill, of Ibiza. Not too shabby. And by that we mean awesome! Normally Ibiza Marina would be a big no go for us. In season it would cost us someahere between €150-€250 a night here!! Since it's the low season, we now pay nowhere near that kind of money. So we took the opportunity and enjoyed it.

We arrived around noon and we had a lot of plans, but very little time. The next day we would have to check out, just like a hotel, by noon again. On our to do list: doing laundry, grocery shopping, finding a new pan, exchanging our gas tank, go to the Decathlon for snorkeling gear, go into Ibiza Old Town and have a client meeting. Somehow we managed to all of that in 24 hours and all by foot. On day one we did laundry, found a new pan, discovered where we could go for gas after many failed attempts and went into Ibiza town. On day two Bart got the gas while I Had my meeting and afterwards we walked about 20 minutes, instead of the suggested 45 minutes by Google, to the Decathlon and grocery store. You just have to walk like a local here, cross where in the Netherlands you would never. You're fine and it saves a lot of time😉

Ibiza Old Town was gorgeous. It is build on a hill and it mostly consists of a castle and is surrounded by small streets filled with white painted houses, bars and restaurants. Unfortunately, the downside of it being low season is that everything is still closed. Luckily, our main attraction when we visit a city is walking around anyways so it doesn't matter a lot. The vibe just is pretty sad instead of vibrant. We did however find a nice wine bar with a little terrace with heaters. So we concluded our very successful day with a drink there. Just a drink, because the snacks were outrageously expensive 😉Leia mais
