A Day in Ibiza!

Today I’m talking about our day in Ibiza, Spain! Now, when you hear Ibiza, you typically think crazy nightlife and wild clubbing. While that’s there if you want it, there is so much more to Ibiza, including beautiful beaches and an adorable old town that reminded me of Mykonos!

Get ready for a picture overload with this post, because the beach of Cala Comte and the streets of the old town were so stunning that I couldn’t stop taking a picture every time I turned around!

Cala Comte Beach Ibiza

We started off our day in Ibiza by going to Cala Comte beach. It was only about 20 minutes from Ibiza town, where our ship docked. It was stunning. The water was incredibly clear, there were sailboats and islands on the horizon, and it felt like a little slice of paradise.

Cala Comte Beach Ibiza We rented some umbrellas and had the nicest time swimming in the water and wandering around the little nooks that surrounded the beach. Cala Comte Beach Ibiza Cala Comte Beach Ibiza There were several little cafes that looked right over the beach so you could really make a day out of it. We didn’t have a chance to stop for anything but sitting here with a pitcher of sangria seemed so divine! There were also several stands selling wraps and bags and the whole thing was very “hippie” inspired.

After spending a few hours on the beach, we went back into Ibiza Town. We spent our time wandering around the streets in Old Town.

We took a short shuttle from the ship, which was docked at the other end of the harbor, and it dropped us off at the foot of the Old Town. Before we started exploring, though, we had to stop and have some tapas and sangria!

It was so insanely hot that day, and like most of the Mediterranean, there wasn’t much air-conditioning to be found. Luckily as the night went on it cooled off a bit, but it definitely made exploring a bit of a struggle!

After dinner we started wandering around the streets and making our way up to the top of the Ibiza fortress. At the very top of the Old Town is a walled fortress from Medieval times. There are big stone walls protecting the castle and village that have existed for over 800 years. Today, those streets are filled with restaurants and historic churches and it is absolutely charming!

So beautiful!
After taking in the views, we began the winding stroll back down the hill, which led us through quaint, historic streets and alleyways.

All of the white buildings with the bright pops of color from the flowers and the shutters really reminded me of Mykonos Town, except with a distinctive Spanish twist. So beautiful!

After wandering around some quiet streets, we finally stumbled into an area filled with restaurants. Everyone was sitting outside, sipping on sangria and enjoying some tapas. So of course, we stopped, too to grab a quick snack, and obviously enjoy another pitcher of sangria!

There were a lot of people lining the steps here waiting to watch the sun go down. Wandering around at dusk meant that the entire city was coated in the most magical light, and it just made the entire place so peaceful.

On our way down through the fortressed town, we walked through stone passages that made you really feel like you had stepped back in time. The streets were narrow and winding and I would definitely recommend that anyone visiting Ibiza take some time to stroll through the Dalt Villa!

When we finally got outside of the walls, we kept strolling around, stopping at shops and just enjoying the evening in Spain. Such a fun day, and after lots of sightseeing, it was great to just have some time to wander around.

Ibiza was so colorful and fun! It definitely had the vibe of a “hippie” town with lots of beautiful sarongs and incense and peace signs to be found!

 

Here’s a view of the harbor as we made out way back to the ship at the end of the day. Ibiza was so charming and fun, and it was a great first day in Spain!
