Ibiza, a small holiday and party resort

Sun, beach, and party… If you like excitement, welcome to paradise and if you like secluded beaches, welcome to paradise too! Ibiza is synonymous with beautiful beaches and music.

Holiday in Ibiza

Beach

There are beaches for all tastes, from the most active like Port de Sés Caletes where you can rent a jet-ski, go on excursions or try the banana boat, to the quiet ones like Cala Bassa and Playas de Comte, with clear water and fine sand. Beaches reserved for nudism, such as Es Bol Nou, and others which are a truly meeting point for parties such as Ses Salines.

Festivals and Hippies

In the 60s and 70s, the island was a heaven for hippies and tourists walking barefoot carrying their mantra “peace and love.” And the party began. Today they are still present at the Hippies Market. The sounds of the island have been replaced by electronic music and festivals, and today the choice for entertainment is huge among clubs, pre-parties and after-hours. After midnight and until early afternoon, parties will find the best nightclubs in Europe. The most popular party of the island is called “We love Sundays”, held every Sunday, starting from 8am in the morning! The legendary Pacha presents hip-hop, funk and jazz and the traditional party ‘Flower Power’, where people dance the hits of that time all night. Ibiza also has many options such as “pre-parties” where people meet before at the Cafe Mambo, near the beach. And for a relaxing day you can go to Café Del Mar, in a “chill out” atmosphere where you only pay for what you consume and enjoy a beautiful view.

Ibiza can be your next unforgettable holiday destination! So be prepared for a fabulous island, full of charm, where you will enjoy the best of nature with the best of festive fun!

Stand out your holiday rental

Holiday accommodation by the owner is nowadays a very popular and easy way to maximize the most of your property rental business thanks to good internet holiday rental websites that provide the owners with quality enquiries from potential holiday makers.

The quality of the website regarding to traffic and reputation as well as an attractive property advertisement are essential in the exposure of your holiday home to any one searching for a holiday rental accommodation.  An advert with few details, bad quality pictures and prices not according to the standards will never reach the key of success. It is important to bear in mind the importance of a well made advertisement as this is the first impression that a holiday maker will have, so working on this details will help you to create an acceptable promotion of your rental business.

“A picture is worth a thousand words” – it is amazing how much important it is to upload the right images on a high resolution.  Bedroom, bathroom, views and pool if there is any, are what any holiday maker is expecting to see. Try to take the pictures with the right light and ensure that they look professional and attractive.

Facilities: Mention of the possible facilities of your property rental as swimming pool, BBQ, central heating, Air Conditioning, terrace, restaurants around, etc.

Set an availability calendar: that would help the holiday maker to see if the property is available for a period or not. It will also show if you have any special offers. Remember to update the calendar every time there is a booking, else don´t use this option.

Place your property advertisement in the holiday sections where better fits among the different holiday ideas: family holidays, beach villas, country homes, golf properties, Bed & Breakfast and many others.

Be quick replying your enquiries, as you won´t probably be the only owner they contact in one day. So one or two days maximum should be the ideal time to reply and let the holiday maker compare among all the availability responses that is being inquiring about.

Some holiday rental websites offer car rental as well, so that you can book both at the same time. If you have a GPS available for the country you will travel it is a good idea to bring it too.

Read about the place you will visit, Lonely Planet is an excellent travel guide you should always bring with you when traveling.

Check the weather forecast a few days before your trip. If you travel during the summer to Spain, protect your skin from the sun several times a day.

Christiania, a free neighborhood in Copenhagen

In the main heart of Copenhagen you will be able to find a small town, even with borders as if we were talking about a small country. Although legally it is not, within these boundaries we find other laws and other lifestyle in a small free town called Christiania. Here the laws and regulations are shaped by their inhabitants.

Christiania

Since in the 70s a small group of hippies created this neighborhood of Copenhagen as a social and political district experiment, and becoming right after a town. They were hippies, squatters and vegetarians who began this project.

The mail is one of the many services offered by the free city. For many years Copenhagen postmen refused to enter Christiania, an unjustified fear, which led to invent a postal service to the community. The routine begins each morning when the “official” leaves bags at the gates of Christiania. Once inside the envelopes are sorted alphabetically.

In Christiania they have communal bakery, sauna and mixed public baths. There is also daycare, radio station, restaurants, bars and a concerts area where Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton or Alannis Morrisete have played. Although now many veterans of the inhabitants complain of the loss of the essence we still can find exhibitions and plays almost every day.

Christiania bikes

Do not forget to visit:

- The Church of Christiana

- Christiana gardens that surround the neighborhood.
