Neighbouring islands and the Spanish mainland

Palma de Mallorca is on the island in-between its smaller sister, Menorca, to the east and the party island of Ibiza to the west. You shouldn't miss a visit, especially to the latter for its many nightclubs and techno music events. Continuing on to the Spanish mainland, you'll encounter Valencia, where alternative music lovers have a de rigueur appointment at Viveros Gardens, the main venue for the scene. Then travel up the coast to the other capital of Spanish football to catch FC Barcelona in action in their home city. Unmissable experiences that you can book on StubHub.
