Ibiza is a busy place, I had heard but I don’t think it was our kind of busy.
After a day of flying from London-Madrid-Ibiza, we arrived in Ibiza just as the sun was setting …
We headed straight to a campfire birthday party …
There was the moon

The campfire
Sandra and Jessie had invited us to visit and Mum jumped at the opportunity while Little Tyke was skiing at half term.
They live in an apartment in Santa Eulà ria with a lovely view. We loved sitting on the balcony any time of day to watch the light change.
Every morning we took walks along the promenade and then Mum and Sandra would stop for breakfast.
See how nicely we walked together. Jessie and I would bark at some of the other dogs – we were a pack – of two!
There were some dog statues on the Plaça d’Espanya – they didn’t bother us.
During the day we drove to different towns and went shopping at some funky places. This was Sluiz …
Cows on the trees! 
Parking signs! 
Whoa! 
Dog friendly! 
Huge space! 
Scary!
Mum’s favourite destination was Santa Gertrudis, a charming village right in the heart of the island.
The main square at Santa Gertrudis is overlooked by the whitewashed fortress church with its distinguished yellow tower.
Mum and Sandra had aperitif and some very delicious jambon at Bar Costa, the oldest bar on the island.
Hola! Bar Costa! 
If Darcy was here, she would have been on the table!

Dogs were not allowed inside Bar Costa but Mum went in to see the collection of paintings.
It was a very short visit and we saw Ibiza at it’s off-season. On the last evening we walked along the Yacht marina – and there was a full moon in the sky. We couldn’t see any stars but we still looked up at the heavens and sent our love heavenward.
Thank you Sandra and Jessie for a lovely visit.
May’s comments: We finally made it to Ibiza after years of planning. When I was planning on taking Darcy, we would have taken the train from Calais to Toulon in the south of France as I couldn’t have flown with her and it’s difficult to travel with dogs on Spanish trains – they need to be in a carrier. We would have then needed to catch a ferry to Ibiza – this would have taken a day and a half of travel.
But then on the plane in the off-season, there were no direct flights on Iberia, only via Madrid of Barcelona. British Airways of course does not fly pets in cabin. And Vueling only fly pets in cabin but not out of the UK.
Lots of dogs especially in the residential parts of Santa Eulà ria. There are quite a few places we could have dined with the doggies – but we sat outside mostly for breakfast because the weather was perfect.
We dined at Restaurants Hambre (Hunger) one of the nicest restaurant in Santa Eulà ria – we didn’t bring the dogs but found out from the owner that dogs were allowed. Well, there’s always the next time. We’ll be back!
It was lovely to see Sandra and Jessie. Jessie and Darcy were months apart and from the same breeder. We like to think they must have had the same father. Jessie is smaller in size but she wore Darcy’s jumper really well. It’s something to remember her by.
Thank you Sandra for a lovely visit.

I love Ibeeeetsa, it’s a beautiful island
Is that George?
Yes!
how did you fly to Ibiza then? i am planning to fly to Spain and havent quite figured out if Iberia allow pets from the UK to Spain or not! 😉
Yes, Iberia flies out with dogs – they have to be under 8kg to fly in cabin.
But you’ll have to enter the UK by Eurotunnel.
You need to enter with an Animal Health Certificate from the vet.
Dogs must be have been rabies vaccinated.
