WIWW & Ibiza Castle

Linking up with the Pleated Poppy and Rolled up Pretty
Dress: F21 Shoes: Four Star Necklace: c/o hooked goods Bracelet: tourist shop in Ibiza, Spain
HEY!!! Wow, it's so good to be back. I missed you guys!! Thanks so much for all of the kind comments and emails while I was gone, and thanks for showing so much love to my guest posters!! Oh! Thanks for helping me reach 400 followers, too! I'll have to think of a fun giveaway in honor of reaching that milestone!! 

Anyway, I actually won that necklace that I'm wearing in a giveaway - it's so fun and I just love it. You should all definitely check out Margot's shop, because her stuff is really fairly priced, and these necklaces are awesome. 

Anyway.... I'm sure you all are not just here to hear about necklaces and cool stuff like that, so I'm going to tell you all about part of our trip to Ibiza, Spain! 

The first full day we were there, we went on a loonnnngggg hike up to the castle. I'll tell you more about that hike later, but today I wanted to talk about the castle, which is the main attraction in Ibiza Town. 
This photo was actually taken from the pier, but you can see the castle up at the top of the hill. 

The castle was built in the 16th century, and offers beautiful views of the city. and the island.

Walking down from the castle, there are narrow cobblestone streets filled with shops and bars. I can only imagine how packed this place is in the summertime! I'll share more about the downtown area and piers later - we did all of that on a different day. 

Ibiza Castle was awesome, and we could have easily spent a full day just wandering around. Unfortunately, the castle was under construction, so it was hard to get good photos. I actually had to hardcore edit the photo up top!! 

In other news, I'm now back to doing design work, so if you need anything done, shoot me an email!!  I did finish a blog design while I was gone, though - here's a quick screenshot!
