Summer holidays.



Are you planning your next holidays? Do not you know where is the best place to go? Is it better to visit first your country heritage? Or going abroad and explore cultures is the better option always? 
In this post I would like to suggest some destination depending on the treats and expectation of everyone. 

OPTION 1
My first option is, and I guess it  always will be the same, Ibiza. It is still spring but you already can feel the warm and the hot weather around us. Summer time. Summer is time to spend with your friends, with a cool beer and to sunbathe in a unspoiled beach with the only worry of the possible jelly-fish's sting. Ibiza is an island situated in Balears, Spain. Widely-known as a clabbers delight, I can say in his defense that you can find the charming without take any pill or being permanently drunk.  Personally talking, I have a lot of haunts there, magical beaches and of course the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. If you are planning your holidays abroad with your friends and you are looking for some relax but at the same time enliven any night with party, Ibiza is the best choice for you and your friends. There you will find unspoiled and marvelous beaches with crystal clear water where you can rest under the sun the whole afternoon or if you prefer you can practice scuba divine or even deep fishing.
After a day spent on the beach, I recommend you to go to appreciate the perfect present that nature could ever give you: a sunset. Around 9 o'clock is time to get into your car or motorbike (if you do not rent a car you are dead in that island) and go though hills until you arrive to the perfect place to get the big picture. Remember a name: Cala d'Hort (beach) and Es Vedrà ( sunset- search for web-pictures. Is the perfect scenic landscape). 
At night, is you are tired or more romantic felt you can choose: going out or going to see the stars. The latter is a good option when you have gone out and you have flirted out with some one and you would like to impress her/him. So, take note of this place: Punta Galera. Actually is, for me, the best place to see the stars (if you are lucky and is not a full-moon night, because if it is, there is too light, but perfectly you can see it, do not worry). 
Ibiza is the queen of the party. There are some many places to go. Even in one month there you cannot visit all of them. But in the big picture, there are two kinds of party: the big and famous club, or small but friendly pubs in San Antoni de Portmany. There is a large street called "west" filled with tourists and bars. Pacha, Privilege, Space: They are the posh clubs. From my point of view and my own experience there, I should say that I have been in all of them, but I really prefer the small bars in San Antoni, with an exception: Flower Power of Pacha. it is "the party". If you like the nineties and eighteen music you will enjoy it for sure. This party take place every thursday in Pachá, in Ibiza city. 
So, this is my suggestion for the crazy- summer- friendly holidays. You just have to buy a flight, fill your luggage with swimsuits and your camera to immortalize every perfect moment. 
Do not hesitate to visit FORMENTERA. The best unspoiled island in the world. You can get a boat in Ibz's harbour and spend just a day there hiring a cycle or a motorbike.  Just...amazing :) 

OPTION 2
Every time more it is becoming famous to backpacking the south-west of America. This is the typical travel that you must do once-in-a-life time.  A route though Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas, visiting keys destinations as Las Vegas, Los Ángeles. But this is the kind of travel that you have to plan before going to have everything tied: how many days you will spend in each country, rent the traditional Mustang to make your way, reserve the hotels and of course plan a map with everything you MUST visit. if you hate waking late and walking a lot, do not do this plan, because this kind of holidays is prepared for those people who want to make the most of these days by visiting everything they have time to. If you prefer relax, go to option 1!


HOLIDAY HOME

The "cheap option" is of course, stay at home. There is a lot of people (I could be included in the group) that prefer to go abroad when actually they do not know so much about his own country or city. Now you have the opportunity to take advantage of your days-off and visit your surroundings. I am sure that wherever you live near you have a lot of heritages and landmarks to visit. Plan a map and visit them. To go abroad and visit another countries you should know yours because, what happened when citizens from another country ask you about your country and you do not know nothing at all?
