Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?

It's the same every year as fletcher says...

Ibiza is always about to be over. In 1933, the German artist Walther Benjamin wrote to the Jewish thinker Gershom Scholem complaining that the island had become too noisy and packed, that the special magic had gone and it was all over for him.

1/2 a million Brits every year says the White Island will carry on in one form or another...

simonr - that theory is fine...if you limit yourself to 4 drinks... but that doesnt happen for me I'm afraid. It's still a scandalous price no matter how you look at it. Consider Bedrock in Heaven, London. ?5 entry, drinks ?3 - can't see that being beaten

Great post man
thats some bad bad news and sadly it has begun here in Miami as well with clubs as space that are simply running because everyone thinks its the hottest club around when in acctuallity its a shithole

true indeed. Since I've been down here I've been surprised by just how shitty and commercial the music here actually is. But the local scene is actually pretty cool...that's where I hang out.

^ I must add, that if you have the cash and the time/stamina then yes, Ibiza cannot be beaten. It will always hold great memories for me, I went there when I was 17 as a young innocent teenager and couldn't believe the world I was in!

Good to know

?18 for a jack?n?coke !! = to $ 24.84 a drink!

I'm better off just getting hammered in the parkking lot.

Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?

And you wonder why people migrate to drugs from alcohol. Economically it sounds better and could be more efficient at those prices for alcoholic drinks. Is water that expensive as well? Maybe its better to drop a couple capsules than get drunk? Cost less, lasts longer and you might end up dancing off a few pounds while your out.

Re: Is ibiza on its last legs ?

I have always wanted to go but never got around to it...

Now it seems, I may need to get my ass in gear.

Any thoughts on how to do this proper, without having to take a loan out for it?

Friends of mine went for a week and dropped 5k, i can't do that while paying for school (and everything else).

Hypo - I found a bargain bar in Talamanca and will try to pm you anyway when I get back.

Basically its the beach bar next to Hostal Talamanca (you probably already know it anyway) - the barman is a real character, free?n?easy with the measures and very absent minded with what you?ve ordered - not that i?d try to con anyone !

Drinks are cheap, and the mojito?s will knock you out. Plus I tipped and ended up doing free shots of some strong local hooch.

A beer, jack?n?coke and mojito comes in around €12 and sets you up nicely for the night.
