This is how much a trip to Ibiza costs in 2017
In case you were wondering how much to save for your hols this season
Tuesday
Very Late Breakfast: At the café opposite Fatso’s. I don’t feel up to the full monty, so I go for scrambled egg on toast. It’s €3.50 and then €5 total with coffee.
Beach: We walk over the rocks to Cala Gracio and spend the rest of the day on the beach. We pay €21 for two sunbeds and an umbrella. €10.50
Dinner: We have dinner at the little beach bar on Cala Gracio beach. I have a huge beer for €3.50 and feel a bit overwhelmed by the tankard it’s served in! Then it’s the salmon for €15. The food is really nice and is followed by a glass of coco-loco. €25
Tuesday total: £35.45
Wednesday
Breakfast: Back to Fatso’s. I have a fried egg sandwich. Proper Yorkshire fare! €6
Bus: Day out in Ibiza Town. €2
Drinks: On the way to the shops we find this amazing little smoothie bar. It looks like a greengrocer but with tables and chairs outside. There are loads of Spanish people here enjoying their morning. I have a strawberry and banana smoothie. €3.50
Jewellery: Both of us get a feather necklace from a shop called Bijou Brigitte in Ibiza Town. A bargain at only €5 in the sale, even if it is only costume jewellery. €5
Handbag: We spend ages in a shop called Carpisa, which sells amazing handbags. Everything is a lot cheaper than you’d pay back home and the colourful designs are lush. I plump for the baby blue one with matching purse. €39.99
Lunch: After getting lost in Dalt Vila, we stop for lunch at Hard Rock Café, sharing a jug of sangria and a plate of nachos. The sangria is €22 for 1.5litre, quite reasonable considering it’s Hard Rock. The nachos are €9.50. €16
Clothes shopping: An extravagant purchase! But €140 for a pair of hand-stitched leather cowboy boots is really good. In England you’d pay at least £110 for a basic pair of black leather boots, but they’d definitely be mass-produced and the type you can buy in every size going. If you fancy a pair, the shop is opposite Hard Rock Café. €140
Bus: Back to San Antonio. €2
Supermarket: We pick up some crisps, bread, cheese and water and flake out in the hotel room. €5
Wednesday total: £219.49
