Mine are proper basic - that first blast of heat stepping out of the plane onto the tarmac, walking out of the airport.

Ordering in Spanish.

The hissing sound of sprinklers in early evening.

I love their bakery.... with the pre-made stuffed rolls

each to their own innit

Quite. Those days are gone for me too be fair, but I found the contrast amusing

How can anyone pick Lidl lol. Seem to spend half my life in their stores

 

[soha]

Not as glamorous as some replys but I love the fact that any spar or taxi you get into the tunes are pumping from the radio.
f***in great! I'd love to nip into tescos here and the tunes be pumping out the speakers


*edit just reading some more replies glad to see I'm not the only one loves the constant tunes from the taxis ha

For me, it’s a club sandwich at Rita’s and a jarra at Es Pueto towards the Bay

Driving through the tunnel after picking up the hire car

Seeing the dome poking up from the horizon just off Privilege roundabout

The feeling of the sun on your skin at 6am after coming out of 5 hours in the darkness

200kph taxi journey to or from the club on the E20 through those tunnels

This won't be popular here but.. When you have your first night on the west end and hear your first 'What are your plans tonight lads?' . No plans, just doing whatever we want

Aye as you sit there thinking 'how do I keep getting speeding tickets on this road'

Stood on balcony whilst missus getting ready in room, cig in 1 hand... beer in the other, my pick of tunes bubbling away and im just riddled with anticipation and excitement for the night ahead...

I will never get bored of it

A traditional breakfast in Vista Allegre for the SJ Market on Sunday.
This mix of different people is awesome.

1. Spotting the night clubs and looking at the billboards from the taxi

2. Sitting on the hotel balcony at 4pm with your mate and the JBL beating away

3. When Mambo's music kicks off just after sunset

4. DC-10 Garden for Circo at 6pm

5. The Mosaic Footpaths

 

[Bucko08]

Lazing around pool or at the beach, and ear wigging nearby groups convos about the previous nights antics or the plan for the night ahead... and deliberating whether to stick my 2 pence into the convo

Knee trembler after an afternoon on the beach

Firstly what a great idea for a post - loved reading through these despite it also making me kinda DESPERATE for my return!

Quite a few similar feelings to a few that others have shared on here but for me the 10 small things personally are...

1) Walking out of the revolving airport doors and feeling/smelling that fresh warm Ibiza air for the first time again
2) Seeing all the billboards in the taxi / car ride to the hotel, hearing Ibiza Sonica radio and knowing you're home and good times are ahead!
3) Breakfast at Rita's Catina and people watching along the bay
4) Walking down Ses Salines beach, seeing Sa Trinxa in the distance and finally hearing the first few beats from Jon and knowing you're in for a magical afternoon that can only be experienced in this very spot
5) Walking onto Cala Conta beach on a beautiful day, seeing the small island in the sea and having some lunch or a few drinks in Sunset Ashram
6) Walking through a buzzing and warm Ibiza Town and to La Bodega for that first tapas dinner of the trip and the first chupitos de hierbas on the house
7) Walking along the port en route to Pacha on a Sunday - getting that feeling of anticipation of the night ahead!
8) The feeling of walking through the small doorway and back onto Amnesia terrace again - my clubbing home!
9) The feeling of sitting in the upstairs or downstairs bar in Pacha, absolutely flying, loving every second of life and enjoying a drink and a cigarette and talking nonsense under the open night sky
10) The feeling of being in DC10 garden around 6PM before sunset and before it gets busy

Before we head to Pacha we always go to that Ipizza down the road to sit outside with a few beers, god knows why as we always drink in the old town before hand too but we went there for a few last minute pre drinks before the club one year and always seem to go back to it.. probably to get our heads on a little straighter final prepirations..although its nothing exiting its just a little thing me and the wife always do that a miss

Turning right exiting Pacha, is that the first bar on the right on the corner up a few steps? If so, we go in there for a cheap beer and a chill beforehand on occasions too.
