I admit I'd never heard of this Island in my life before I looked into this flight deal, I thought it would just be some Mexico style vacation where you just sit on the beach all day. Not really my style. But after hearing that this area is like party central for Europeans I'm very excited!
I was only in Menorca for a day or so, so I can't shed much light on that island. I've heard of the 3 it's the best for scenery and beaches though. I wish I could have spent more time there but had several places I wanted to see.

I was in Ibiza for the closing parties of the season when I was there...10,000 person capacity, 50 euro entry at a club called Space. The island claims to have 8 of the worlds top 10 night clubs, and they know how to party. Don't ask me how that ranking system works, but 'Space' was apparently the number 1 voted club the year before I was there. Insane party I'm so glad I caught...and it was thanks to a super nice hostel owner in Mallorca that enlightened me on the closing festivities.

So as I said I caught the closing parties for Ibiza, the clubs shut down for several months due to the offseason. The hostel I stayed at had a private room and shared bathroom for 20 euro a night....an absolute steal for the weekend i was there.

I was in Mallorca at this time and it was dead because of the offseason, but pretty good beaches. The sand is a little dirty due to all the tourists, but it's a cool vibe and if you're going in September it is just after the peak season, so you'll encounter lots of tourists as well, meaning good nightlife.
