![[:en]19 Hours In Ibiza[:sv]19 timmar på Ibiza[:]](http://www.thomasfalkenstedt.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/IMG_20180612_135652-01-770x512.jpeg)
[:en]Last week I was invited to a short press trip to Ibiza to visit a restaurant, which will be the topic of my next post, but before that I just want to share a few postcards from the hours I had to myself walking around Old Town Ibiza and actually getting a sunburn while doing so. This is not your “What to do in Ibiza” guide as I feel doing that if you haven’t visited something so futile, the same reason I don’t promote products on my social media I don’t personally believe in. So basically, enjoy the scenery and my attempts at selfies as this was my first trip since I began blogging where I didn’t have a photographer with me, but actually spent the entire day alone in Ibiza until it was time for the press dinner. Quite a lovely feeling to be able to be a simple tourist even for a day.
These cute doggies were literally in every alley in Old Town Ibiza and I had to take a picture of one, despite the fact that I basically wanted to take him home with me, but I guess someone would have missed him as he was wearing a collar. The old town is surrounding the medieval castle which is situated high on a hilltop with views all over the island and just walking around there (with plenty of hydration along the way) was amazing. Next time I’ll hopefully be doing more of the legendary clubs and beaches of Ibiza, but I did actually go for a quick swim in the Mediterranean just to be able to say that I’ve swam in it this year too, haha. Be back with the restaurant review soon![:sv]Förra veckan var jag bjuden på en kort pressresa till Ibiza för att besöka en restaurang, något som kommer att vara ämnet för nästa blogginlägg, men innan det vill jag dela med mig av några vykort från de timmar jag hade för mig själv när jag gick runt i Ibizas gamla stadskärna. Jag gick runt i kanske 6 timmar och lyckades till och med bli solbränd, alltså inte på det bra sättet.
Det här är ingalunda en “Det här ska du göra på Ibiza under 19 timmar”-guide då jag inte känner att jag kan rekommendera något jag egentligen inte besökt ordentligt, något jag även applicerar på saker och ting jag pratar om på mina sociala medier. Jag lyfter inte fram produkter eller upplevelser på mina sociala medier som jag inte personligen tror på. Varsågod och njut av några “semesterbilder” från mitt besök i Ibiza Old Town som jag fotat själv då det är första gången sedan jag började blogga och jobba som moderedaktör som jag rest någonstans utan en professionell fotograf. Rätt befriande att få vara helt för sig själv fram till pressmiddagen faktiskt och kunna sätta sin egen agenda vilket i detta fall var: lek turist.
Dessa små sötnosar fanns bokstavligt tavlat i varje gränd i Old Town Ibiza och en fick glatt (?) posera på bild, även om jag egentligen ville ta med honom hem, men med tanke på att han hade ett halsband var det nog bra att jag inte gjorde det. Gamla stan omger en gigantisk medeltida fästning som ligger högt uppe på en kulle med vyer över hela ön samt långt ut mot havet. Det var underbart att gå runt där hela dagen (med mycket vatten längs vägen) och bara njuta av historiens vingslag. Nästa gång hoppas jag kunna besöka de legendariska klubbarna och uppleva det nästintill mytomspunna nattlivet på ön samt lägga mig på stranden. Jag tog mig faktiskt ett snabbt dopp i medelhavet för att kunna säga att jag gjort det även detta år.[:]

June 18, 2018 at 6:13 pmI’ve never been to Ibiza but always wanted to! Did you take your photos with a tripod or self timer? They still look great! I’ve acrually haven’t been on an international press trip but definitely want to. I’m glad you were able to tour the city a bit before dinner because I like to have alone time before diving into a social scene. Can’t wait to see youe other post following the day!

June 21, 2018 at 5:07 am19 hours in Ibiza seems much too short, but you did a great job capturing the essence of the area you visited 🙂 The weather looks fantastic and I love the mix of new and old buildings and the colorful streets. Dream destination for sure! I’d definitely want to check out the Medieval castle on the hill though- I love historical sites 🙂

Nonetheless thank you for showing us around the most quiet places and beautiful landscapes of this island, mostly known for its movida! You did great without your photographer! I bet you enjoyed some time by yourself as a tourist! Tons of love, Valeria
