We got back from Formentera around 8pm on Sunday, sun burnt and completely exhausted. We got back to our hotel, changed and headed into town for dinner. Dinner was nothing special, and since the sun completely wiped us out, we just went right back to our hotel to crash.
We spent all day Monday in Eivissa. We decided to take a break from the sun and do some sight seeing and shopping in town. We managed to hit almost every store throughout the day, and walked most of the streets within the city center and near the port. We stopped a few times for snacks but mostly just enjoyed our day of walking.
We had tapas at Can Pour Bar before heading to the casino on the opposite side of the port. We were expecting a semi Vegas style casino, with slot machines, bright lights, and free drinks...what we found was a dimly lit room with about 25 slot machines, one roulette table that wasn't open yet, and an empty bar offering no free drinks. We played a few slots, won 8€, and headed back towards the more "happening" part of town.
We made our way back towards the shopping area where we recognized a tapas bar we found after lunch. It was a traditional pinxos place serving only tapas. Cold tapas are in a case on the bar, and warm tapas are served by waiters roaming around the room. Each tapa is a small bite with a piece of bread stuck together by a toothpick. Each customer gets a plate and helps themselves to whichever tapas they want, hanging onto the toothpicks, which are used to tally your bill (each tapa is 1.25€). We had a great time sampling tapas and drinking wine.
We headed back to our hotel, packed and prepared for our flight to Valencia the next morning.
