From the Party City to the Party Island





All year round and especially during the summer, Barcelona is a haven for clubbers and party goers who want to stay out, dance and have fun until the early hours of the morning. With hundreds of bars all over the city, cheap Barcelona accommodation and more and more clubs popping up every few months, it's no wonder more and more people are going each year.
With the recent rise in popularity of techno and electronic music, the majority of clubs are playing it nowadays, with Barcelona being at the forefront. However many people who live there still need to get there fix of partying from the Mecca of all dance music destinations: The White Isle!
Ibiza is still without a doubt the place to go to party and experience all the best DJs and superclubs such as Pacha, Amnesia and Space. It is notoriously expensive, but for those travelling from Barcelona, the prices for transport are relatively cheap.
But how do you get there?
You can fly Lowcost, with companies, Vueling or Spanair (from 40 to 120 euros) with about 5 flights a day from EACH company.
The flight times state roughly 45 mins however from personal experience it was over in about half an hour. You barely are off the ground!
However, if you fancy something a bit different, then why not take the over night "party boat" from Barcelona to Ibiza at a cost of roughly 40 euros for the 2nd class ferry which takes 9 hours overnight. Although, now there is a highspeed boat which only takes 4 hours at a cost of 75 euros 2nd class.
Overall the plane seems more logical, but each to their own in how they want to travel.
Bottom line: you want to save as much money as possible for your arrival in Ibiza!!
