Even though Ibiza is known for partying, it has so much more to offer, such as beautiful views and fresh-caught seafood. Not only is it locally sourced, but its cost made me want to import pounds of it back to the US. I personally love crustaceans such as lobster, shrimp and crab, as well as mollusks such as squid, scallops, octopus and mussels. So, when I saw a €20 squid as a main dish at a restaurant on Cala Talamanca, a popular beach in Ibiza, I got extremely excited. I was obviously expecting a tiny portion of a couple bites because that's what I'm used to when it comes to ordering seafood in the US. However, I was completely wrong, as my server brought out two huge pieces. And I'm talking HUGE. I wish cheap plates like this with such high quality seafood was easily accessible in California.
Later that evening, my cousin and I took a taxi to Cala d’Hort, which is a beach said to have the best sunset in Ibiza. It was truly gorgeous and the beach was very unpopulated, making it a very calm and relaxing environment to be in. Our taxi driver on the way there, Chari, was super sweet and gave us various recommendations for what to do with the remainder of our time in Ibiza.
After getting a few mosquito bites, it was time to head back to the hotel and get ready to see one of my favorite DJ's, FISHER, at a club named Hï Ibiza, which was named the #1 club in the world in 2023. As we were leaving our hotel looking to get a taxi, we hopped into the closest one and it just so happened to be our friend, Chari from earlier. It was a crazy but awesome occurrence. She gave us her phone number and told us to come back to Ibiza again and that she would help us out with more activities and get us free tickets to places. She was even nice enough to take us to a bar next to the club and introduce us to the owner. I really felt like I was a VIP! Chari was awesome and meeting people like her during my travels makes my experience much more fun.
