Evening all,
I paid off our villa very recently and, now that we're in June, our August trip suddenly doesn't feel that far off at all. And I have a few holiday questions, questions I've been mulling over for ages but holding onto. (Apologies if this is a bit long-winded.)
We're staying in the town of Jesus this year. This takes us away from my familiar San Antonio base, so this is uncharted territory for me. I'm excited about staying somewhere different, but to be honest, considering I've been to Ibiza 3 times my knowledge of what lies outside San Antonio is really a bit pathetic.
First off, has anyone else here been to or stayed in Jesus before? I asked this in a thread I did in the review section, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask again. I have it in my head that it's a reasonably sedate little place, much less touristy with some pretty tidy bars and restaurants. Do I have that about right?
We were in Port Des Torrent last year and we became pretty reliant on ordering taxis from a nearby bar/restaurant. This year I'm hoping we can actually use the buses a bit more.
Does anyone know if any regular buses pass through Jesus going to either Ibiza Town or San Antonio? And also, using the taxi fare calculator thing on the maps section, I've worked out that a taxi from Jesus to Ibiza Town could be as little as 6 EUR. Could you conceivably walk to Ibiza Town or Talamanca from Jesus or is there not a suitable walking route?
The other thing this year is Ibiza Town itself. In 3 trips to Ibiza, my only experience of Ibiza Town is two daytime strolls along the city walls and the harbour. We all arrive late afternoon/early evening on the Monday and I think the plan is to go to ASOT at Privilege fresh from landing. I'm a bit worried that a flustered group of about 13-16 people are going to step out of taxis in Ibiza Town, some of us having barely stepped off the plane, and not have a clue where to begin the night.
Any recommendations or pointers?
I'll be glad to be a good arm's length from the West End this year, but a few cheap(ish) drinks wouldn't go a miss amongst the group, I think. Some hidden, more upmarket gems would be good as well.
And the final one. Playa De S'Estanyol. I asked about it previously and it really does sound like worth a visit. Would anyone mind giving me some rough directions to it?
Thanks in advance!
