Ibiza

We heard about this island before, and we had already established an opinion that this was one of the main clubbing destinations in Europe. Therefore, when planning a trip, we chose the hotel based on its distance from the main entertainment centre. Our hotel was Grand Palladium, located close to the famous Hard Rock Hotel. This resort has a direct access to a long, wide beach. As the best beaches in Ibiza are public, the could not place on sunbeds, and we had to rent them from local businesses. It was worth it as the sand gets very hot and the sun is quite active, and that requires being under the umbrella. Water had a pleasant, comfortable temperature and was clean. Water sports were available as well, for my husband it was a matter of principle. In general, the beach vacation was a success.

 



Although this was a beach holiday, we still rented a car, to have an opportunity to travel around the island. We visited its administrative centre – the town of Ibiza. In addition to the historical center, it has a quay with a port and a wharf for yachts. It has charm of a typical resort town. It is filled with cafes and tourist shops, the streets are decorated with flowers and public space are well maintained and decorated to reflect the historic appearance of the city. We found the town quite pleasant. To rent a car you may download an app in order to have the access to the best rental offers worldwide in your phone.

 


As for clubbing, we decided to start with a visit to Hard Rock Cafe on the rooftop of the eponymous hotel. This roof is notable for the fact that has a panoramic view of the coastline and the airport, located in the immediate vicinity. This airport location added some color evening pastime – imagine sitting on the roof of the hotel with a cocktail, and watching giant airplanes rushing right over your head . There is also a weekly White show with elements of modern dance, flamenco, fire dancing and gastronomic delights. As we have noticed, the entertainment industry on the island has its own special schedule with restaurants and cafes available during daytime, and – Hard Rock and similar night clubs in the evening . And clubs begin their program after 2 am, even midnight is too early to go out. One of the most famous clubs is located in Ushuaia hotel in the beginning of the club area.

 

What is particularly memorable is the large number of elegant young people, chilling in the evening and waiting the start of “clubbing time.” Usually, people spend the time after dinner and before the clubs (it takes several hours) in bars, not knowing how to amuse yourself. We also noticed that there are not young people waiting for “club hours”, there are people of age as well: both men and women of “elegant age” were dressed accordingly for going to the club. We were happy to see this – in Europe, age is not an obstacle to any available entertainment. In general, few days on this island left the most pleasant impression, and convinced us that is it a place worth coming back to.

P.S.:

Girona

We visited the city of Girona quite often, but, surprisingly, all our visits were connected with the local airport – one of Russian low-cost airlines brings tourists there. And almost all the time, we perceived Girona as a “neighborhood of Barcelona” and a kind of “old step” on the way to the big city. It was totally undeserved. Finally, we decided to correct this injustice. I have not seen such enthusiasm to take photos for a long time.   The history of the city begins before our era, because the Iberians who settled these places needed a fortified structure on the road to Gaul, and the Romans needed the same for wars with the Moors . It was the Romans who gave the name “Gerund” to the settlement, which later became Girona. The County of Girona (one of 14 original Catalan counties), which passed under the rule of various ruling dynasties (mainly France and Spain), was formed as a result of various feudal collisions in the Middle Ages.   In relatively recent history, Girona has been da

Saipan

  Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam island are unincorporated territories of the United States in the Pacific. Anyone who has watched “Moana” will understand why this destination is worth the logistics. Russians no longer need a “standard” American visa to visit the islands – a declaration is filled in upon arrival at the airport , and the passport control officer stamps the passport. Saipan is the most developed island when it comes to tourism, and we stayed under a special offer in hotel Hayatt and it had its own beach , sunbeds and a beach bar. Everything you need for a quiet seaside (or oceanside?) holiday. And we got what we expected. There was a beautiful sandy beach and a wide turqoise lagoon, followed by deep waters. Mariana Islands are named after the eponymous Mariana Trench (it is about 11 kilometers deep). Swimming there gave me pleasure, mixed with some reverence, as the depth of 11 kilometers is not a joke, and vague thoughts about sea monsters getting out of the dept

Nice

  Nice is among the best cities to go to in France and will surely make you glad you decided to spend your vacation there. It lies in the French Riviera region, in Southern France, bordered on one side by the Atlantic Ocean and on the other by the Mediterranean Sea. Nice is also quite a good place to base yourself during your visit for exploring the rich cultural history of this lovely region. In addition to being an attractive tourist destination, Nice has many attractions for travelers to check out. One of the best things about Nice is the diversity of its culture and climate. Because Nice is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, its weather is often hot and humid, giving Nice the distinction of being the best places to swim during the summer. Other than Nice beaches, there are other great places to enjoy Nice holidays, such as the Picasso Museum, which is well worth a visit, as is the Basilica de Nice. People who enjoy art will find much to appreciate in Nice and the surrounding region
