Sitting on the rocks, sipping a drink,
the only noise is from the bar behind playing tranquil and
serene music, watching the sun slowly disappear below the
sea. Its beautiful.
A trip to Ibiza isn't complete with out a visit to San Antonios
sunset strip in the bay of Calo des Moro.
Café del mar was built in the 1980s. Is is now joined
by Mambo, Savannah and Kanya at al but Café Del Mar
is still the most renowned. Café Del Mar produces its
own music and was responsible for starting the chill-out trend
with its trademark mellow Baleraric beat. Since 1994 Café
Del Mar has been releasing annual chillout albums.
For those people who are running low on euros !....you can
bring your own drinks and sit on the rocks in front of the
café, you can still hear the music.
Once the sun has left us, there is usually entertainment
in the form of fire twirlers. Big Djs like Erick Morillo,
Danny Rampling or Roger Sanchez often warm up their decks
at next door Café Mambo, so you can catch them here
if you don't fancy paying the huge entry prices at the clubs.
You need to arrive early if you want a table. The sun starts
it's descent about 6.30, so get there in time for the full
show.
Café Del Mar has a photographer who walks around and
takes pictures which are then put on their website. Nice idea.

With people of all nationalities gathering together to watch
the breath taking sunset over the sea, the atmosphere is relaxing.
The final few tracks Café Del Mar plays during the
suns final few moments of the day can make or break the mood,
often reducing people to tears. As the final note of the song
coincides with the last ray of light….applause breaks
out. It really is an amazing experience.
