Summer may be officially over, but September is one of the best times to island hop. As Ibiza is in its last call of summer with closing parties, the clubs may be shutting down for the year, but the island is really at its finest. While the island takes partying and music to a new level (this coming from a Miami girl), its bohemian spirit is what really makes Ibiza special. Across the island, the so-called hippies have left their mark in the form of stone carvings and sculptures. The bohemian vibe is all over the island and in particular at the hippie market in Las Dalias. Vendors set up the most wonderful displays of leather handbags, hand-dyed scarves, and hand-made jewelry. I came across this wooden pendant made from wood found on the island. The artist hand-wove the string to form a necklace to go along with the piece. It still smells like the island now, bringing back memories of the beautiful beaches and laid-back Spanish lifestyle. The boho chic lifestyle is part of what makes Ibiza so special, along with the legendary parties and music. A friend of mine gave described the island perfectly, saying, “It’s one of the most magnetic places on Earth. Your compass will just spin when you get there.” The feeling was everywhere. We followed the music and let it be our guide.
