went to Ibiza for the first time this summer with my girlfriend for 2 weeks between 1st to 15th September, stopped in Playa Den Bossa. The weather was very nice, the apartment was good and we found one very good restaurant (out of loads, which were ****).
But a few things really ****ed me off, the hustlers who try and get you in the bars are a pain in the freakin' arse. If I want to go in a certain bar then I will of my own accord, not by some bull**** offer of 2 for 1, or free shots. There are 2 bars which really stick in my mind, one is called Kopi's or something similar in Playa Den Bossa, it was the first bar we walked past every night on our holiday and the same stocky blonde haired guy tried to get us in the bar, which we never went into just because of him. After about 6 nights walking past him he yet again tried to get us into the bar, we said 'no' and carried on walking, at that point he grabbed my girlfriends wrist and tried pulling her in, I had hold of her other hand and didn't realise what was going on until my girlfriend was being between myself and this ****head. So I stopped stared at him and was just about lay this ****er out on the pavement and he then decided it would be a good idea to let go, my girlfriends wrist hurt her and he nearly pulled her watch off her arm she told me as we sat further down the road in another bar. So I wasn't going to let this one go, so for the last 8 days off the holiday as we walked past him going to and from the apartment basically I verbally abused him, pretty severely at times, seeing whether he would try grabbing hold of my arm, which he never did, the guy looked a complete prick but just didn't get the message. He was pretty thick looking though.
Then there's the bar on the mainstreet in Playa Den Bossa, called the Container DJ Bar or something, here you pay 7 euros for a bottle of bud, they try and see how much money you have in your wallet when you open it and you get **** service thrown in for free, great! Plus it's buy one get one free, and the one you get free isn't the same as the one you originally ordered because they can't be bothered to get you one. I would fully recommend NOT ever going there because they'll try and rip you off guaranteed. Possibly the worst bar in the world. (Carlsberg?)
The looky-looky men are complete nobs who should take notice when you say no, I was sat on Playa Den Bossa beach and he just wouldn't get the hint I didn't want any glasses even though I was wearing some, so a gob full of sand did the trick. What do they sell in winter? Father Christmas beards? Sledges? Christmas trees?
Most of the restaurants are pretty lame, apart from one I fully recommend, called Moorea not far from Space in Playa Den Bossa. Excellent food.
Space was good at Carl Cox's fifth and sixth nights, top music, Jack De Marseilles, Will Grant were spot on. Shame about the completely ****ed up bar prices, which I was expecting, but I know they're only open for the summer but there's a limit you can expect somebody to pay and frankly Space isn't run properly, people won't pay those prices forever and it'll be Space's one sticky end one day.
Went to El Divino for 4:4 with Dave Seaman, which was actually pretty quiet, which suprised me as he's very good. Won't be going there again.
In Ibiza town the old part stinks, it really does, I don't think anyone around there wipes there **** after going to the loo. Went there, got lost in it and eventuallt found my way out.
A lot of Spanish people there I found to be freakin' ignorant, I speak a bit of spanish, enough to get by on, but you get this feeling that they don't want you there. Plus Ibiza is a fashion victim's paradise, I don't know what some people think they look like when the look in the mirror before going out but it really did make me laugh, I know what goes with what, but a kilt does go with anything Prada or a string vest and sandles. There's just too many people who have there own view on everything over there, and not one which should be more laid back, some Spaniard started insulting me in Spanish in Space's toliet's thinking I couldn't speak a word, he was a little surprised when I started having a go back, I saw him in the car park later on and I didn't know there was a lot of olympic sprinter's in Ibiza, but boy could he move.
Generally the holiday was good, not exactly how I thought it would be, the highlight was sitting at Cala Jondal beach watching the sun go down. But next year I won't be going back as generally Ibiza is a big bag of ****!
