from lost weekend

"Ibiza still has a reputation for being a party island, where hedonism is the rule of the day to the extent that you know you'll need another holiday immediately after you've landed on our own, fair isle. That reputation is a fair assement, even though the Ibiza dance scene is being overshadowed by regular indie rock concerts in place of the huge, factory like clubs of the mid '90s.
But it's not all sex, drugs and rock n' roll. Ibiza is full of charming towns that are only a few miles from major tourist resorts yet are seemingly untouched by the pulsing beat of their neighbours. To this day there are villages without proper road access or electricity.
If you fancy a bit of history, there's a myriad of medieaval European and Moorish castles, where Catholic crusaders and Islamic warriors fought to keep control of the island or you can stroll the coastline for one of many secluded beaches if you'd prefer something more relaxing."

another article from someone who's obviously never, ever been here.
 
Just yesterday I had to pull out my traditional speach to a bunch of co-workers about how Ibiza is sooooo much more than big dance parties.

As mentioned in my just-completed marathon review (http://www.spotlight-forums.com/showthread.php?t=48285), there's tons of places to see and even after visiting for around 2 weeks a year for 7 years you still find more and more things to do...

Same here, when I told them I was going, some of the comments I got...........
 
just a few minutes ago I had this conversation with a friend..

her: so any holiday this year?
me: yes! I'm going to ibiza in august!
her: What?!?! Why would you go there? You couldn't pay me to go there?!?! You're going to have an awful time?!?! I couldn't imagine anyone going there.. its just white trash and no europeans go there .. its just Irish people
me: when did you go there and see that( knowing she has never been)
her: oh I read in the papers it was like that and I would never want to go..

so yeah, this is from someone who is well traveled but listens to those reports in the paper.

although I love my clubbing, I made it to about 3 beaches a day last year and spend hardley any of my time in pdb except to shower and sleep.

I have had so many people think ibiza is just a trash island and then they say things like "I'm going to see you naked on the internet if you go there!!
