In the world’s most popular tourist destinations, prices can easily reach values that surprise even the most experienced visitors. In places associated with luxury and exclusivity, the cost of banal products and services, such as a simple drink, can become a real shock for those who are not used to paying unusual amounts. In this specific case, it was the price of water that raised eyebrows.
Social media has been a frequent stage for reports from tourists sharing unusual experiences, often accompanied by incredulity and some humor. That’s exactly what happened to Celia (@celiacbsss), a TikTok user, who published a video revealing the amount she paid for two glasses of water at the well-known Ushuaïa nightclub, in Ibiza.
The young woman explained that she was accompanied by a friend and that, due to the intense heat, they chose to just order water, since neither of them consume alcoholic beverages. Still, the final bill ended up surprising: each glass cost 15 euros, making a total of 30 euros, reports the Spanish digital portal HuffPost.
Surprise that leads to irony
In the shared video, Celia showed the glasses and ironically described them as “the most valuable water in the world”. In the caption, he also added that “you don’t realize how expensive it is until a water costs 15 euros”.
It quickly went viral
The situation quickly generated hundreds of comments, says the same source. Among the reactions, there were those who stated that the water was “blessed by the Pope of Rome himself” and those who said that, for that price, they preferred to “drink sea water”.
Other users commented that it seemed unlikely that the price was just for water and questioned whether it was, after all, alcoholic beverages.
An increasingly common reality
This episode reflects an increasingly common reality in luxury tourist areas, where, according to , the prestige and privileged location are reflected in the prices charged, transforming even the simplest consumption into expenses capable of surprising any visitor.
