Travel Ideas

Ibiza is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean and is famous mostly for it’s extensive and prohibitively expensive club scene, the sort of place that the worst elements of Europe go to get fucked up on a 5 night summer holiday.

Ibiza has deep hippie roots though and, as usual, it was the freaks who first brought prosperity to the island, living in the forest in the 70’s and banging bongo drums on the beaches. Many of the original hippies now live in secluded houses on the island and continue a peaceful way of life, making their money from the markets that draw thousands every week.

There are still drum jams on Beneras Beach and plenty of dope smoke, casual sex and good times to be had in a thousand hidden corners of the island. The trouble with Ibiza these days is that prices are going up so fast that soon no self-respecting hippie will be able to afford to live there…
