i'm obviously going to try for the spain/france/italy cruise, but if that doesn't work, i will probably do the Turks & Caicos. i've talked to a few guys who did that one and they just gushed.

i'm not overly worried about my choice because i should be able to land at least one of these per year.

Well you could check out the number of nude beaches.

Anyway, Ibiza is a 10 hour ferry ride from Spain. Ibiza is sort of the Key West of Spain. It was very multicultural from the beginning in 700 AD, which is why the island resisted the Inquisition better than other refuges.

Nowadays, according to Style, E Channel, etc, Ibiza has become quite the party paradise.

A Long Tradition of Tolerance

After the surge of mass tourism to the islands in the 1960s, it has frequently been wrongfully concluded that their exceptionally carefree atmosphere was brought by the holiday-makers. Yet the inhabitants (Ibicencos) own unique style of tolerance is no tourist attracting gimmick, but reflects the history of an area of tremendous human insularity, which in turn had been crucial to Jewish survival in the Pitiuses Islands during and after the Spanish Inquisition and which allowed the preservation of a Jewish community until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. For 2,000 years the Ibicencos have been a perfect example of a multi-communal society, living together in peace. Descended from Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks, Carthaginians and many others, the islanders collectively protected their Jews from all comers.
