#1 IBIZA, SPAIN

| PIC: 'Espuna' (Foam Party) on Ibiza |
Every summer, the
world's best DJ's descend in bulk on this small Mediterranean island.
When they do, the partying hordes follow!
One
of the Balearic Islands, located off the east coast of Spain, Ibiza
has become one of the world's legendary party destinations.
Hedonists from all over the world flock to the island to watch the
likes of David Guetta, Calvin Harris and Tiesto play in decadent
superclubs like 'Space', 'Pacha', 'Eden' and 'Cream'.
The
party starts at around 2am (though pre-partying, and
pre-pre-partying, has usually been going on for much longer) and goes
through til at least 8am, with many of the clubs and partygoers not
shutting down until around noon.
The
scene on Ibiza is no longer just about electronic beats with venues
like 'Ibiza Rocks', as the name suggests, opening the islands up to
different genres of music and different crowds.
Of
course, away from the bigger venues, there are also smaller bars and
clubs that organise different events, such as foam parties known here
as 'Espuna' (Spanish for
'foam'). There are also different styles of party cruises, catering
for different budgets, and, for something more relaxed, there is the
infamous, chilled-out 'Cafe Del Mar'.
Ibiza
can be an extraordinarily expensive place to party with entry to one
of the superclubs
costing upwards of €50
and drinks inside costing upwards of €10.
It
also must be acknowledged that there is very definitely a party drug
culture in Ibiza. The high prices of drinks may be responsible for
the popularity of drugs, or the favouring of drugs over drink might
be the reason for the high drink prices. Either way, whether the
chicken or the egg came first, the length of your stay in Ibiza
probably depends on how long your wallet, or body, can afford it!
