I just wanted to give a shot of the actual beach and give a story about the adventure me and Omer had getting back from this place. We had rented a small little "bubble car," meant to give us great gas mileage. But, with me driving like I was on the final lap of a Formula One race getting up to the northside of the island, lets just say that we were running a little low. So, we arrive at a gas station on fumes. I tell Omer to fill it up, while I go in to pay and get some snacks. I finally notice that Omer is having problems about 2 minutes later, and go outside to see what the deal is. He couldn't get the gas lid open. So, I say, there must be a little pull thin by the driver's side. Nope, I check there. We then proceed to scour the entire car looking for the release switch for the gas lid. We search it twice! By then, cars are starting to line up, but only a few. We then try to muscle the damn thing open, which proved as fruitless as try to find the switch. By now, we are pretty pissed about the idea that 2 people can't open a gas lid, AND the fact that the rental place wouldn't have "enlightened" us about this. Finally, I got the keys and pryed the damn thing open... at which point we noticed it was a locking gas cap. By now, there are at least 5 cars waiting on us. But, no honks yet! We, obviously think that we should be able to use the SINGLE key givent o us by the rental agency to open the cap. Well, that would have worked had the cap not been broken. It just spun and spun and spun. At this point (10 minutes into this thing), we start laughing our asses off. And, we couldn't stop. This was the point the people started honking their horns at us. And rightfully so, at one point I literally was on the ground laughing. We finally figured out that if you held the cap with your fingers and THEN turned the key it worked. We finally got our gas, and got the hell out of there before we got shot. I still laugh at the image of two grown people spending 20 minutes filling up a gas tank....

Talamanca is an OK beach, with not too much to offer. If you have access to a car, or want to take the bus to remote parts of the island, there are definitely better options. But, if you are looking for a relatively quiet place to soak up the rays, then this is a good option close to most of the accomodation in Ibiza City.

This is actually two beaches in one, seperated by a small little jetty. Both have good sand, but the place is small. The best part about this beach is that the swimming is good, because the waters are protected by the little jetty.

One of the more scenic, but smallsih beaches was Cala Llonga. We went, but decided to carry on to another place, because it looked dead. It WAS beautiful, but there's something to be said for being around fellow partyers while in Ibiza.

One of the most wonderful things about my entire Ibiza experience was the 5 sunsets I took in at Cafe del Mar. It is the perfect place to get warmed up for the evening. It is along the west side of the island, and therefore gets the best, final glimpses of the setting sun each evening. Everyone comes and crowds around this place to listen to its chilled out grooves with the backdrop of the shimmering waters. You can also BYOB and just sit in fornt of the restaurant on the rocks and get the experience cheaper. Either way, you are going to enjoy it immensely. For those who don't know, Cafe del Mar has produced their own music for about ten years now. It is very slow, chilled out electronic music. Next door is Cafe Mambo, and they have fire twirlers nightly during the high season. It is a very cool compliment to del Mar.

Not only should you head to the west side of the island for the Cafe del Mar experience, but you should be there just to take in the awesome sunsets. It is well worth the effort, and your camera will be happier for it!
