Ibiza Fast Facts:
- Gayborhood Stick to Ibiza Town and the Figueretes suburb, which together form the gay hubs.
- Both islands are relatively safe and crime-free. What crime does take place is usually of the petty variety and easy to avoid. Only carry as much cash on you as needed for that day, and as with any destination, alleyways and secluded should be treated with caution, especially at night.
- Ibiza and Majorca are summer-time islands. In August, temperatures average at 29 Celsius (84 Fahrenheit) and it can get very humid. It's still warm until October, with hotel and flight prices decreasing rapidly out of high season, although you may find yourself having to dodge some pretty unruly rain showers.
- 24/7 emergency assistance via the telephone can be reached at 112. Ask for Bomberos (fire), Policia (police) or Ambulancia (ambulance).
- Being party islands, drugs are rife, especially in night clubs. Here, as with most places, recreational substances are illegal, and therefore best avoided. If you must indulge, do so with caution - don't purchase from dodgy-looking people in dark corners of clubs,
- Keep an eye on your drink at all times. Never walk away from it and return to expecting it to be untouched - date rape is a common occurrence in nightclubs and easily avoided if you keep your wits about you at all times. The best type of parting is partying safely.
