ibiza, spain

I understand that Ibiza has a reputation for being a wild party island, but it can also be laid-back. Like everything in life, it all depends on what you want to do! When we ventured out in the middle of the day, the atmosphere was very calm and I felt like I was in a tropical oasis. We went on a fantastic uphill walk with views of Old Town, walked along the harbor and listened to the waves crashing up against the rocks, and ate margarita pizza at a sidewalk cafe. There's a lot of walking involved in Ibiza so sensible shoes are a must. B and I wore flip flops and we were slipping on the cobblestone the entire time!
There are plenty of street cafes, tours for history buffs, and a lot of stores filled with cute clothes you can't find in the States. And if you want to party? -- well you can do that, too!
