Spring Break: Ibiza, Palma Mallorca, and Valencia

Posted on April 26th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

The university system in Spain is weird. We have a week break for Holy Week aka Semana Santa and another week break for Feria, a Spanish cultural festival. So for our first break for Holy Week, Tammy and I decided we would finally go to Valencia and its islands of Ibiza and Palma Mallorca off the east coast. Valencia was the one place that was recommended to me by all my friends that studied abroad in Spain and in my opionion it is my favorite city other than Sevilla (I still love my little town and am SO glad I moved).

The islands were relaxing of course, nice beaches, cool yachts, the usual…but Valencia was just great. The old buildings, the new futuristic aquarium and facilities, plus the awesome park African dance performance, I was in culture heaven.

I enjoyed myself though and if I had to pick one city other than Sevilla to check out, it would be Valencia hands down. Greece is next for our Feria break, pics of Ibiza, Palma Mallorca, and Valencia below!

    hmmm i can’t remember exactly, but yes I did go to Ibiza and I LOVED it. I remember being right on the water kind of close to the seafood restaurant strip…the rest is kind of a blurry memory for me. you’ll feel the same way reflecting once you go. The nightlife there is crazy lol
