- 5. Areas that you need to cover in your blog entry: 1 Safety details : Is crime a problem in the city? What should I be careful of? Are there any areas of the city I should avoid during the day / at night? The city is quite safe, you shouldn’t have a problem when walking around; however, be careful and watch your belongings at the beach. There are some thieves waiting for you to go for a swim, so you should leave anything of value at home!
- 6. Areas you need to cover in your blog entry: 2 Getting around: What's the best way to get around the city? Is it OK to take taxis? Are there many taxi ranks? Can I hire a bicycle? Is it a good city for cycling? These types of questions will help the reader to begin to form a picture in their mind as to what the place is like. Ibiza is quite small so the best way to get around is by car. You can also rent a bicycle, just bear in mind the hot weather as it can get really hot. Above all, avoid taking taxis, which are really expensive here on the island.
- 7. Areas that you need to cover in your blog entry: 3 Sightseeing: If I'm short of time, what three sights should I see? What two galleries or museums should I visit? Do they charge for admission? The beaches, as well as some very famous clubs, are a must see on the island. You just can’t leave Ibiza without visiting Cala Compte, Las Salinas beach or Cala Bassa, every place you visit has its special bits. This is what makes Ibiza a magical paradise. As for the clubs, the one I like most is “Privilegge”, they do amazing performances there and the music is not as boring as in the other clubs.
- 8. Areas that you need to cover in your blog entry: 4 Shopping: What would be a good souvenir to take back with me? What's the best market to visit? Is there anywhere I should haggle? Another curious thing is its lizards, which are called “Sargantanas” and they are bluish and greenish. I’m sure it’s a good souvenir to take home. Don’t get me wrong! I mean a key ring, not the real animal! You can find these lizards printed on t-shirts, cups and mugs, and there are plenty of shops at Ibiza port where you can find all these souvenirs.
- 9. Areas that you need to cover in your blog entry: 5 Food and drink: Is the local tap water drinkable? Is there any food or drink I must try? Don’t forget your stomachs! I definitely love all the typical Spanish food and wine, but Ibiza has its own local specialties. Make sure you order some “bullit de peix” to try some local seafood and then, try some “hierbas” to help your digestion.
- 10. Areas that you need to cover in your blog entry: 6 Conclusion: All in all, do you like the place? Would you recommend it? What type of person would enjoy it? The island is a bit expensive but it’s definitely worth the visit. Many factors make the island an enjoyable one. Don’t think it twice and just buy your plane tickets! It won’t disappoint you.
