Barbet Schroeder, the French director of the film "More" is one of the culprits that Ibiza is Mecca for young people - millennials and renewed adults - who still come to the island from any corner of the planet, music, discos, drugs, free sex and rebellion. Have you never been?...after reading this post you will start planning your trip.
Since it was filmed in 1969 at the height of the hippie movement, this Mediterranean island has been impregnated with madness, freedom, hippie character and attitude, which even though it has changed over more than 50 years, it keeps its effervescence and fury intact.
*But what is the movie about?
In broad strokes, this is the plot: Stefan is a German student who arrives by hitch-hike to Paris, where he meets Estelle, an American girl with whom he ends up falling in love. One fine day, Estelle leaves Paris and Stefan follows her to the island of Ibiza, where he discovers that she is related to an individual who seems to rule her life. Both will soon be immersed in the world of drugs.
Why is Ibiza "The PARTY" with a capital letter?
The most legendary and iconic nightclubs, the best DJs in the world, the excesses, the most extravagant drag queens, the go-go dancers who dance electrified in authentic temples of entertainment and pleasure that can hold up to 12,000 people in a state of ecstasy – Yes, ECSTASY literally – that unbridled celebration of eternal youth, hedonistic life and a summer that lasts forever.
It is the nerve center of international nightlife and has been synonymous with disinhibition for many decades - the film More detonated and the explosion never finished shaking the Mediterranean blue - of young people, and not so young from all over the world: Germans, British, Italians and Spaniards, among many others; they saturate the streets and clubs of the city in search of La FIESTA.
The most youthful and underground “jet set”, models from all over the world, elite athletes, famous TV personalities and movie stars who feel at home because of the possibility of losing their glamor coincide, without anyone being scandalized . The nocturnal rascals looking for their baptism of fire in Ibiza find the perfect niche to make their dreams of madness, debauchery and rebellion come true.
At dusk, in the surroundings of the port of Ibiza, the bustle begins in the streets of La Verge or Mare de Déu located in the picturesque and at times extravagant neighborhood of La Marina, where the “pre” cocktail bars and music the bodies are already beginning to enervate for debauchery and madness that will explode later in the clubs.
Gay tourism also nests in this area with the proud rainbow flags that wave at night, at a time that oscillates between dinner and midnight as a preamble to the madness and the whirlwind that floods the discos hours later.
• Pachá Ibiza, one of the most legendary and iconic, a place that has taken over the Ibizan nightlife for more than 5 decades with famous sessions with DJs from the London club Ministry of Sound, just to name one.
• Privilege, the sophisticated open-air nightclub with a pool that invites you to dance in the water.
• Amnesia, the favorite of younger debutants, more informal and accessible for the prices of its drinks, famous for its famous “foam” parties on Sunday mornings, when 4 gigantic cannons launch foam into an “ecstatic” audience. that can reach 6,000 people.
*The "rave parties" in the coves of Ibiza
But the island is not only clubbing, during the day – if the body can take it – the sand, the sun and its turquoise waters are the ideal paradise for legendary and turbulent parties on the island's sandbanks. Its beginnings were clandestine parties and even the island has not been able to control the “problems” that are cool in these wild parties, which are known among the regulars as “rave parties”. The authorities allege for their prohibition that they have become an attack against the environment and a "public health" problem.
Even so, there are “legal” parties on famous beaches such as Caló des Moro, Benirrás cove, Jondal cove and Es Cavallet, the latter with a markedly gay and transgender atmosphere
Temptation is served in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and then do not say that we did not tell you and we warned you.
