Summer Like It Hot The Spanish State Meteorological Agency (AEMET)
has predicted that summer 2018 will be a scorcher, with average temperatures climbing well above our already sweltering summer sun. This Sunday’s San Juan Fiesta is set to END the day on 27° with a real feel of 37°. Towards the end of June the real feel is predicted to be pushing 40° AEMET predicts that in the next quarter temperatures will be higher than the average 24° registered historically,
though they say rainfall will be similar to previous years, around 87 litres per square metre spread over the 3 month period (it sounds like a lot, but trust us, it isn’t). Announced at a press conference by María José Guerrero of AEMET, she spoke of the trend in temperatures "to go up, in average value, until mid-August”, after which they are predicted to return to normal levels. On the night of San Juan, AEMET predicts temperatures of 27 degrees at the end of the day, a sea temperature of around 23 degrees and a balmy 21 degrees during the
night. Guerrero said that the higher temperatures are due to African air intakes, which may also bring more of the unwelcome ‘mud rain’ that is disliked by everyone except the car wash owners. Seemingly undeterred by a pretty poor track record in predicting weather next week let alone two months ahead, the AEMET spokesperson said that "as of the second fortnight in August, some days of instability will be interspersed with some showers or storms with strong winds."

In The U.K. Press Victim of alleged sex attack says she engaged in a sex act with one of the two Charlton players prior to assault
By Gerard Couzens For Mailonline, 20:10, 18th June 2018
The 19-year-old woman 'confessed to kissing Reeco Hackett-Fairchild on a sofa'
Sources said she then admitted to 'kisses and sexual things' with Charlton player
She insisted she had failed to mention it to police because
she was nervous Comes amid probe into alleged sex attack at a hotel in Cala de Bou, Ibiza A British 'victim' of an alleged Ibiza hotel sex attack says she engaged in a sex act with one of the two Charlton players arrested over the incident before the 'assault' took place. The 19-year-old woman confessed to kissing Reeco HackettFairchild on a sofa before the alleged sex attack took place at a hotel in Cala de Bou on the Spanish holiday island. Well-placed sources said she then admitted during a subsequent court quiz to 'kisses and sexual things' with the Charlton forward when she was asked to ratify her initial police statement before the judge. Asked to define sexual things to Mr Hackett-Fairchild's defence lawyer Jaime Campaner, she replied: 'Oral sex' and insisted she had failed to mention it in her police statement because she was nervous. It comes as it emerged that a lawyer acting for Mr HackettFairchild will try to overturn bail conditions later this week which included the handover of his passport and a ban on leaving the island. But if his appeal fails he and non-footballer Olusola Odejayi, 26, could face a months-long fight to clear their names and return home even if they end up escaping prosecution. An alleged 19-year-old British victim identified Mr Odejayi to police, claiming he was the man who forced himself on her while Mr Hackett-Fairchild held her down. The judge who quizzed the two men and a second Charlton player, Karlan Ahearne-Grant, who has been allowed to return to the UK described the suspects' version of events as 'credible and coherent.' Carmen Robles Zamora also admitted to 'reasonable doubts' a sex attack had taken place in a written explanation of why she was releasing the trio instead of remanding them in jail after their court appearance last Thursday. She highlighted her concerns as it was reported locally Karlan Ahearne-Grant's mobile would be sent to Madrid so police experts could try to recover recordings erased from the phone that could prove key to the case. The 20-year-old is being investigated on suspicion of a privacy offence but not a sex crime and has to sign on at the Spanish Embassy in London twice a month as part of his release conditions. Appeals are expected to be lodged later this week when a specific court has been assigned the case. The appeals are seen as crucial to determining the mens' immediate future. The lawyers of the two men forced to remain in Ibiza are expected to focus on the judge's comments about their statements and what they see as a key omission by the alleged victim in her police and court statements regarding what she did with Mr Hackett-Fairchild. The men have made it clear from the start that what happened at that hotel was consensual. Last Thursday's court quiz, which took place behind closed doors as is customary in Spain in the early stages of a criminal investigation, took place at a duty court. Carmen Robles Zamora said in her written ruling justifying her
Santa Eulalia Parking Plan Santa Eulalia has released details of a further 290 parking places in the town. This brings the total of new parking spaces available since the start of the borough’s pedestrianisation programme to 1,200, at a cost of 180 on street parking places lost. Of the 290 places announced this week, 200 are proposed adjacent to the Tres Torres hotel (marked with a pushpin in the map above). The remaining 90 places are spread between 2 new car parks that are already open., both located in the town centre.

Contrasting that with the 'credibility and coherence' of the men's version of events, relayed to her during a closed hearing at a court in Ibiza Town after they were taken from a police station in handcuffs, she said: 'For these reasons there are reasonable doubts of the existence of the commission of the crime which has motivated this current judicial investigation.' The document also makes it clear that Mr Ahearne-Grant is not being probed on suspicion of participating in the alleged sex attack, but over two recordings on his mobile phone which he subsequently erased. The reason he is said to have made the recordings - and exactly what he took footage of - has not been made clear. Local paper Diario de Ibiza has reported the phone would be sent to Madrid for police analysis as part of attempts to recover the erased footage. The incident which sparked the three arrests is said to have happened at a hotel in Cala de Bou near the party resort of San Antonio after the alleged victim and a female friend met them at a bar and agreed to go back to their hotel. The judicial investigation will now seek to determine the involvement of each of the three men in the incident and clarify if police have been given an accurate version of events by the alleged victim, her friend and the three men. Local reports last week said one of the men - thought to be Ahearne-Grant - told police and the judge he was in another room with the alleged victim's friend and got involved in an altercation with the other two men after hearing noise and going to investigate. Mr Ahearne-Grant, born in Greenwich is a forward who signed with League One side Charlton as a 17-year-old in September 2014. He has made more than 60 appearances with the club in Championship and League One football and has played for England at U17, U18 and U19. Redbridge born Mr Hackett-Fairchild made his professional debut with Charlton in August last year, and hit the net twice in 12 appearances. He has previously spent time with Dagenham & Redbridge and Dulwich Hamlet. A Charlton Athletic spokesman said: 'The club have been made aware and are looking into this matter. 'Due to the ongoing investigation we will not be commenting any further at this stage.'

Restricted Access to Cap de Barbaria Lighthouse The Council of Formentera have reactivated the traffic restrictions regulating the access of motor vehicles to the lighthouse of Cap de Barbaria. From Monday, June 25 until September 30, visitors must leave their car or motorcycle in a car park located at KM 6.5 of the road and continue on foot. "After the positive experience of last summer, we reregulate access to the Cap de Barbaria lighthouse with the aim of avoiding crowds and preserving this natural landscape and the tranquillity that surrounds it", explained the Minister of Mobility, Rafael González. A temporary barrier at KM 6.5 of the Cap de Barbaria road will be installed and during peak hours from 11am1pm and 6pm-10pm, a guard will be situated there to inform visitors of the restriction and allow people with reduced mobility access. In the adjacent land, a car park with capacity for 60 cars and 100 motorcycles is available so that visitors can leave their vehicles and from there to walk or bike to the lighthouse.
500 visitors per day According to data from the department of Mobility, last year on average more than 500 people visited the lighthouse daily. In the moments of maximum affluence, the average of about 280 visitors was recorded simultaneously, although there were peaks of up to 400 people walking around this spot.
SOS Refugees and Proartso Protest 38,000 official deaths in in the Mediterranean since 2000 The association Ibiza Conscience, through SOS Refugees Ibiza and in collaboration with Proartso have protested across three beaches in Ibiza displaying the number 38,000 the number of official deaths in the Mediterranean. The initiative was carried out during the week in three different beaches: firstly, the volunteers of SOS Refugees Ibiza showed a 38,000 in giant numbers on Santa Eulalia’s beach. Then, they moved to Talamanca and, finally, they concluded in Playa d'en Bossa. In a statement they said, “We have attracted the attention of bathers in these three beaches, Santa Eulalia, Talamanca and Den Bossa, bathing by the same sea that is the deadly trap of so many thousands of people, that the only thing they seek is an opportunity to get ahead, a decent future for them and their children”. “It does not matter if they are displaced from war, "economic migrants" or if they have received the status of "refugee", nobody puts their children in a boat if the land they leave behind is not even more dangerous than the sea in which they play life.”
Consell Impose 65,500€ in Fines to Pirate Taxis Vila Aim To Make Ibiza for Illegal Transport Pedestrian Friendly The Executive Council reported on Friday that 12,000€ has already been paid in fines issued to pirate taxis and those providing illegal transport in Ibiza. Last week, the Consell agreed to impose fines for a total of 65,500€ to 16 drivers and transporters who either were caught acting without the corresponding permits or have agreed to voluntarily pay the fine that was imposed to them on the day, with any resulting economic reduction. Of these files, seven have already been closed by voluntary payment. The insular body has imposed fines of 6,000€ and 4,000€ for very serious transport infractions. 4,000€ has been imposed on a vehicle that carried out a private transport of passengers from Ibiza to San Jose. The fine of 6,000€ is for the driver of a vehicle that circulated from Playa d'en Bossa to Sant Antoni, offering discretionary public transport in a 9-seater vehicle in exchange for 15€, without having the corresponding administrative authorisation.
The City Council of Ibiza has presented three projects to make the city "friendlier for pedestrians" and that will be subsidised by the Island Council. This is the implementation of urban routes adapted for the blind, as well as two school routes for children and the elimination of architectural barriers that remain in the city. Councillors of Urbanism and Mobility, Elena López Bonet and Juan José Hinojo, respectively explained that the routes for the blind will connect the main points of the urban area of Vila and acoustic traffic lights that will be activated by the user will be installed. The pavements of the sidewalk will also be adapted when approaching a street or crossroads. The budget for this initiative is 178,000 euros. As for the 'school roads', the City Council of Vila will implement two routes so that primary students can go to school on foot, thereby leaving the car at home, or in specific parking areas. The first of these roads will go from the sa Real roundabout to the Consolación school, while the second will run from the beginning of Avda. Pedro Matutes Noguera to the Poeta Villangómez school,
The numbers were 3 metres high and there were pictures of boats, shipwrecks, illustrations and graphics that, without needing to talk, contextualized their parade with the number of lives lost. A poem was read at the end of each beach, "Home" by the Somali refugee Warsan Shire, both in Spanish and English and finally a minute’s silence held - a minute of prayer in honor of those 38,000 souls and all who have perished. On the last day, in Playa d’en Bossa, with the collaboration of members of Proactiva Open Arms, a group of activists simulated the harsh reality of the arrival of a refugee boat on the coast. It included people pretending to drown and being "rescued" by another group of activists who were waiting for them on the shore to hug them. This performance may seem extreme, but they wanted to make the reality visible on the day, raising awareness that this tragedy is experienced every day of the year by millions of people, of which a large part are minors. They continue to act with their double objective, direct help there and awareness here.

Campaign To Help Keep Music Live In Ibiza Opinion, by Claire B You may have heard or read in the papers recently that there’s a clampdown on the volume that music can be played at in bars, clubs and venues generally at the moment. Whilst none of us want to be living next to somewhere that is pumping out loud music day and night, the recent changes are having a negative effect on the live music scene in Ibiza. The decibel limits being imposed on music are difficult to control when musicians play live. As a result, several venues on the island are currently not able to offer live music. I recently interviewed Andy McKay at Ibiza Rocks who told me that they can’t legally put on live bands any more at the venue as it’s impossible to limit the volume or impose this on the performers who have come to the island, plus the Acoustic Plan that (Continued on page 6)

Food & Drink suites came in at only 171€ per night, the suites at 225€. That sounds a very fair price for the quality of accommodation, but add to that it includes breakfast and Las Mimosas current promotions of a free Spa Day, and free car hire, and it starts to sound something of a bargain. To put it in some kind of context, a twin room only at Ushuaia for the same week was almost exactly double the price—we all have our own ideas of luxury, but I know where I would rather stay.

he recently refurbished Las Mimosas truly is a secret hideaway in Cala de Bou. Set just a few metres behind the main road to Port Des Torrent, yet in a setting so tranquil you could be in the middle of Santa Agnes. The 4* boutique hotel boasts 10 spacious junior suites and 7 larger suites, a spa, gym, pool & bar, plus the attached Mimos restaurant. Text Rhian King, Photos Nick Gibbs There has been much discussion of Ibiza’s metamorphic
changes recently, not all of it positive. There can be little doubt that Las Mimosas, a 50 bed boutique hotel and its attached Mimos restaurant, is an example of that change. Last year it was a nondescript budget hotel. The kind of place that if it were not for the kids clutching smartphones, you would find it hard to tell which of the last 4 decades you were currently in. So is change good or bad? We went along to find out.
Las Mimosas Hotel
Hotel manager Nore gave us a tour of the accommodation and facilities. Las Mimosas is an all suite hotel, 10 junior suites and 7 suites. The suites all have a sea view, and junior suites all have a spacious terrace or balcony. The design is contemporary cool, but it is the details and personalisation that sets Las Mimosas apart from its corporate chain hotel counterparts.
Tariff What price luxury? Well I was surprised when looking online today that for the last week of June the junior
Whilst taking our tour we bumped into Lucy Dyer, the Mambo group wedding planner. Lucy was showing the hotel to a young couple and later told us Las Mimosas is already proving a popular choice for those wanting to hold their wedding in Ibiza. “The 50 bed size and all suite design is perfect for a wedding party takeover”, she said. “Our clients want a venue that is quiet and private, but not isolated. It has a real family feel, but with the level of quality and comfort that people want for their celebration.” I have little doubt Las Mimosas will become a very popular wedding venue.
Spa & Gym Next on the tour was the intimate and very stylish spa and private gym with adjoining treatment rooms. There is a separate public entrance and all facilities are availa-

and a slight creamy nuttiness to the salad, then you get the zingy crunch of the pomegranate seeds – this is a dish with popping flavours.
Pulpo Carpaccio & Kalamata Olive Vinaigrette The octopus carpaccio is served on a large board with celery, red pepper, rocket and parmesan shavings. The key to this dish is to get a forkful with every ingredient on it or mix and match. Each ingredient when added to the octopus gave a different taste sensation, the pepperiness of the rocket, the cool crunch of the celery or smooth creamy parmesan – all worked effortlessly together. As seasoning is a personal thing, Chef leaves that to you.
first and devoured without two of us even getting a taste. Their review was “brilliant, super cold and very chocolatey”. I guess if you like chocolate and sweet desserts, that’s all you need to know!
Cheesecake with Mandarin Sorbet The cheesecake is dainty compared to the starters and mains we had enjoyed, but don’t let appearances deceive you because it was perfectly balanced and gorgeous. The
Lentil Tabbouleh
the perfect summer cooler of a white wine spritzer, Astrid asked if we would like to try her own Spritz creation, a most refreshing Cava based cocktail with limoncello, white rum, lemon juice and a little strawberry syrup. We also had another delicious drink combining limoncello, vanilla syrup, an egg white, lemon juice and Rioja—both looked as good as they tasted, something that would carry through from the drinks to the food.
Homemade Focaccia This was a firm favourite with the small one in our group, enjoying piece after piece of this Italian homemade bread dotted with sundried tomatoes. Served with a selection of premium oils and wine vinegars.
(main photo facing page) This salad is a mountain of green lentils, finely chopped red and green peppers, cucumber, avocado, cherry tomatoes and beetroot with a sprinkling of micro herbs and leaves. Fresh, the best way to describe this dish is simply fresh. The ingredients complement each other effortlessly and the portion size is generous to say the least, unless you’re a real lentil lover, this may be a salad to share as a side.
Fillet Steak Merely described as fillet steak on the menu, this dish is a crowd pleaser. The steak is cooked to your liking (of course) and placed on a bed of potato ‘crisps’ and fried spinach, served with roasted courgettes and red pepper, sweet potatoes and whole roasted garlic cloves. The steak itself was melt in the mouth and seasoned perfectly, the fried spinach delicious and the potato ‘crisps’ innovative and very moreish.
Burratina with Pomegranate, Pine Nuts, Mint Pesto and Avocado Burratina is a type of mozzarella with a creamier centre, the mint pesto was drizzled on top and when you cut through the centre, the velvety middle oozed out. The avocado is perfectly ripe and soft, the pine nuts add bite
After the feast of starters and mains we had tasted, we thought we would be fairly reserved on ordering desserts, but on hearing the specials, resistance was futile.
Goloso de Chocolate A chocolate lovers dream. Chocolate cake with a dulce de leche cream and stracciatella ice cream. This was served
dense creaminess of the cheesecake is brought to life by the fresh zesty mandarin sorbet, our forks kept going back for more.
Apple pie—Las Mimosas Way It’s hard not to use the term deconstructed, because in effect that is what it is, but with a twist. The apple pie base is crumbled on a plate and topped with apple pie ice cream. The best way to describe the apple pie ice cream – it’s exactly what it says it is – apple pie. A rich and decadent dessert suited for those with a sweet tooth.
Summary
So is change good? Well one of the most common complaints of change in Ibiza has been where that change excludes people outside the VIP set. Las Mimosas doesn’t do that at all. It offers a taste of luxury at an attainable price. The various plates in our meal started at just 7,50€, the Lentil Tabbouleh looks a million dollars, but is just 12€. Even the Fillet Steak is a ‘normal’ 25€ but for residents the news is even better as you all enjoy a 10% discount. Las Mimosas does not exclude us, it offers us something better than it was before. It is a great addition to Cala de Bou and should be seen for what it is, a forerunner of what the Bay must become. The only downside is that it will not be a secret hideaway for long. http://lasmimosasibiza.com/

Over in Playa d’en Bossa, the first of the open-air acoustic Dorado Live Shows that have been running successfully for the last two years at Santos, was not allowed to take place by the police. The concert of Iván Ferreiro had to be moved at the last minute to the nearby indoor venue, Swag. At the time of going to press the remaining concerts scheduled over the summer will go ahead, but it’s unclear where. In Es Canar, the legendary concerts at Chirincana in on Wednesdays are also not happening this year. These are just three examples, but I’m sure there are more venues that I don’t know about that are not offering live music any more because of the risks involved or have been prevented from doing it.

Associació de Músics d'Eivissa The Associació de Músics d'Eivissa represents musicians on the island and is fighting against recent clampdowns and to keep music live. They are currently collecting signatures for a petition, the aim of which is to support “live music in appropriate places and times, as well as to support live music from local bands as a cultural asset and product to diversify the tourist offer”. All the collected signatures will be taken to the Consell d'Eivissa and they will once again request that this issue be discussed at the next Mayors’ Council. The last date to sign is June 30. The petition is available for signing at the following places on the island. Ibiza Town: Malanga Café, Elpasaje Rock Ibiza bar, Sa Tapeta, Suministros Ibiza, Cas Musicaires, AA.VV de San Pablo (Casas Baratas). Sant Antoni: Boulevard, Eddie’s Place, Rest.

If you can, please try and sign one or both of the petitions. It affects our ability to experience live music on the island, especially in smaller venues, and also affects the livelihood of many of the island’s musicians as there are less and less places that will take the risk to put on live music for fear of being fined or shut down. Less live music on Ibiza also affects the year-round cultural diversity of our island.
Family Fundraising Appeal After Mystery Injury Leaves Young British Tourist in Coma Josh Darcy suffered a fractured skull and ma-
jor head injuries following what a source close to the family has said to be a mystery injury.
Josh was on the second day of his holiday in Ibiza when he was found unconscious in the street. There is as yet no indication as to how he suffered the injuries however he was taken immediately to the Rosario clinic in Ibiza Town where he has remained on life support and in a coma state since. His family came to Ibiza to be by his side and have launched an appeal to help cover their costs of staying here, and potentially the medical costs which may not be covered by insurance. Writing on a gofundme page, Josh’s stepmother posted this appeal. “Our lovely Josh Darcy has had an unfortunate accident whilst on his second day of holiday in Ibiza. This has resulted in him suffering a fractured skull and major head injury. He immediately underwent a long operation and is in a coma in intensive care, in hospital in Ibiza, and is on life support. “His immediate family have flown out to Ibiza to be by his bedside at this tragic time. His mother, father, sister and their respective partners are with him each day. I am his fathers wife, providing as much support as possible along with his mothers fiancé and his sister’s fiancé. “As with any popular destination, peak season is expensive, so in order for his parents and sister to continue to be here during this time, we are looking for help from anyone to assist with the accommodation costs here in Ibiza. Donations will also help with any care that Josh needs if/once he can travel home. “We don’t know how long Josh will be in intensive care or how long it’ll take for him to recover, and therefore it is unknown how long his family will need to stay here. “Any help received would be greatly appreciated at this very worrying time.

Book a bed by day, dip in the pool and delight at the menu, or make it your sunset choice for cocktails where the only crush is the ice in your mojito. Just don’t tell everybody.
Johnny’s Pub, Established 1993 Johnny’s is a Bay institution. Popular with locals and tourists alike, they are open for food to eat in and takeaway from morning through to late—usually very late, and at some point on your holiday, you’ll be glad of that. We locals can’t have their exceptional English breakfast (above) as often as we’d like, but you’re on holiday, so indulge yourself. Just 4,75€ gets you double British sausage and bacon, double egg, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, fried slice, toast and tea or coffee—plus a portion of jam for reasons we’ve never fully understood.
Relish Restaurant & Lounge Bar Just footsteps from the beach of Cala De Bou, the restaurant and bar extends into a large covered terrace, gardens and a private pool for the exclusive use of relish patrons. Plus on Sundays Relish offers a traditional Sunday Roast. Relish pride themselves on a simple philosophy - good food, cooked well, fairly priced.
Booking with immediate confirmation is available on the website.
More Great Food You’ll also find great food in Donnegans Irish Pub, Playa Bella and Kumharas—all of whom are listed in the entertainment section. Also we have to recommend going local during your stay. Nothing beats a long lazy lunch of fresh cooked paella on the beach with a jug or three of sangria to wash it down.
Entertainment The Watersports Shop A most welcome addition to the lower bay road (carrer des calo) in 2017, the watersports shop have a huge range of bookable activities on and under the water, for individuals and groups. Browse their range of jetskis, stand up paddle, seadoos, speedboat trips, and the awesome hoverboard and flyboard sessions, from the comfort of their shop, and then take the activity from any of their four beach concessions—which makes them one of the biggest watersports operators in Ibiza. If not near the shop you can also book online via their website. See ad right for details and location.
Peppers2 Party Bar Dance till dawn? You betcha, and we don’t want any of that ‘I’m too old for all that now’ nonsense either. In Ibiza there is no such thing as too old, and Peppers2 is a fine example of an all night party bar that will see everybody from barely legal to rather regal bopping the night away. See the agenda for special events, but every night you are guaranteed a warm welcome from Chaz and the team. Take a cocktail or two on the terrace, then head inside to show us your moves.
Donnegans Irish Pub It is hard to know what category to list Donnegans, as they do (Continued on page 10)

Tourist Guide No trip to Ibiza is complete without a sunset on the strip, and if you want to do it in the finest style, Mambo has to be the place to go. Their terrace enjoys spectacular views of the sunset, and you’ll be entertained by some of the world’;s top DJs with Mambos nightly pre-party warm up.

Tulp has spectacular sunset views, and cosy front row booths can be booked online via their website. See front page advert for details.
La Cantina Portmany The Flower Power Parade many things, and do them all very well. Day and night it is a bar with a welcome as warm as the draught Guiness and magners are cold. They show all sports including hurling, and have a great menu of reasonabl;y priced home cooked food from snacks to full meals. But it is perhaps their entertainment that really sets them apart. With a regular line up of live performers with the common denominator of making sure everyone has a great time. Check our agenda and their facebook for events.
Playa Bella Cabaret Terrace
metres. Cast all thoughts of a British barbeque aside– Ibiza’s best grill restaurants, of which Sa Brasa is undoubtedly one, take the concept of charcoal grilling to another level. The emphasis is all about providing the very best quality cuts of meat, and fresh fish that may well have been swimming within sight of the restaurant earlier the same day. You need to have a grill meal at least once while you are here, but if you do it early in your holiday our bet is you’ll be back for more.
Fancy some good old family cabaret? The Playa Bella apartments kick off with nightly cash Bingo hosted by our own mister thriller from Aston Villa, Chip, and once your eyes are restored to their regular horizontal position, the night continues with a roster of live cabaret featuring everything from tribute acts to comedy to drag and some very talented musical acts. All this takes place on their beachfront terrace which also has a great range of food available day and night.
Mariposa Pool Bar & Restaurant, Cala Llonga
Ibosim Brewhouse
Entertainment
Tough to know whether to list Ibosim brewhouse in ‘food & drink’ or ‘things to do’. As bars are hardly in short supply in Ibiza, and Ibosim offers so much more, we decided on the latter. Ibosim is the first and only beer produced in Ibiza. Visit the brewery and enjoy a worthy range of craft beers on the taproom terrace, or take it a step further and ask about their brewery tours. Ibosim are 50m from Port des Torrent beach.

The idea of ‘living the dream’ under the Mediterranean sun becomes reality at the Mariposa.

Start your day with a bacon and brie toasted sandwich and café con leche, followed by a dip in the pool, and sip on some cocktails from your poolside lounger. Heaven.
Santa Eulalia
San Antonio
There can be little doubting the vegan credentials of Los Otros, as not only do they offer a fine range of Italian food, the owner is an authoritative author of vegan cookbooks too. The setting is magical. Just meters from the water on the marina front of Santa Eulalia, your visit will have the reassuringly relaxing soundtrack of the clinking masts of moored yachts.
Sa Brasa, Grill Restaurant, Santa Eulalia Though you can see Sa Brasa’s exact location on our map below, as long as you are in the right general area the incredible aroma of the grills will guide you the last few
David’s is renowned for its Italian-French cuisine and they have a vast menu, including 35 different pizzas to choose from, plus the option of turning any one into Calzone.

David’s also offer a takeaway service and a menu del dia for 12.50€, available till 8.30pm .

Located directly on Santa Eulalia marina waterfront, if you dance til dawn you will also be treated to the spectacular sight of an Ibiza dawn rising over the sea.

The days of the straw donkey are as dead as a dropped donkey. What Grandma really wants as a gift from your Ibiza adventure is the latest in acrylic bong technology. Don’t know what to get your mates at work—how about some matching grinders? Of course it doesn’t have to be a gift, what better way to fill that last space in the suitcase than with some stock from Grow Submarine’s extensive range of cannabis culture stock? From Rizla’s up, though we warn you that attempting to board a Ryanair flight with a full hydrophonic growing system may incur excess baggage fees.
Food & Drink
La Cantina is a bar and restaurant right on San Antonio’s fountains square. A local legend, it has stood in the same spot and run by the same family since way back when it was by some way the biggest building on the waterfront in what was an unrecognisable San Antonio. With a pedigree of such distinction, you won’t find a better place for a traditional Paella or some fresh caught local fish. But it also offers far more. The La Cantina kitchen is also home to 3 specialist chefs each taking care over their respective Thai, Indian and TexMex division.
At last the summer season is here again and so is the Thursday evening Hippie Market in Cala Llonga. The market takes place every Thursday evening from 6pm with an array of locally hand crafted articles such as clothes, jewellery, trinkets, pottery and much more, produced by some of Ibiza's finest artisans all at reasonable prices. Located on the promenade it's a perfect place to wander along under the evening stars while listening to live music, looking for a perfect gift, souvenir or personal treat. In addition to this there's a wide variety of international bars and restaurants for you to enjoy and a safe playground for the little ones. There's ample free parking just a few metres away.
Food & Drink See adverts on facing page, front page & food and drink page for contacts, hours, and location.
Tapas Restaurant and Lounge Bar One top tip to start with—it is best to book. Tapas is one of the most popular places to eat in San An, and in the height of summer you may have quite a wait to get seated if you haven't booked in advance. Tapas is all about global flavours, but served in a traditional Spanish Tapas style of small plates perfect for sharing. They have a fantastic range of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options on the menu too.

A flagship Void install, in the right hands the music at Eden will make you feel music as you have never felt it before. See our ‘At Night’ and ‘Agenda’ sections for what’s on.

Plastik’s masterful resident DJs are joined most nights of the week by headliners from some of Ibiza’s biggest club nights.

sion of angels: “A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him.” (The Bible, The Book of Daniel, chapter 7 verse 10). The numerical words (“a thousand thousands” and “ten thousand times ten thousand”) is an ancient Near Eastern way of saying “infinity”. An infinity of angels! We also have here an example of a literary device in ancient Hebrew called by scholars “parallelism”. This is when the second line is an echo of the first line. The echo

closer to the point to say that God begets them. Angels are “sons and daughters of God” we would say today. Angels eternally proceed out from God. Beyond this space-time universe the angels eternally proceed out from God and as sons of God they share the divine nature. Another book of the Bible describes this sublime effulgence of angels. The Book of Daniel probably written in its final version in 164 BC in Aramaic and Hebrew. The book contains a magnificent vision of “the Ancient of Days”. The vision is highly metaphorical and pictorial but includes the proces-

Rev. Dr Peter Pimentel Angels in the Bible are sometimes called in Hebrew bene Elohim which is translated as “sons of God”. So, e.g., in the Book of Job (composed in Hebrew somewhen in the mid-6th to mid-4th century BC) we read: “The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.” (The Bible, The Book of Job chapter 38 verse 7). Some translations of the Bible into English have “angels” or “heavenly beings” but a literal translation of the Hebrew bene Elohim is “sons of God”. The angels in the Bible are not, strictly speaking, created by God. It would be

explains the meaning of the first line. So, the stream of fire that issues out from God is the infinity of angels. An infinity of angels proceeds out from the Infinite One. The last book of the Bible called The Book of Revelation or The Apocalypse written in Greek but full of Hebrew idioms towards the end of the first century refers to Daniel’s vision: “Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands.” (The Bible, The Apocalypse, chapter five verse 11).

Shebizan Amanda O’Riordan Summer Solstice, longest day of the year, the future King’s birthday, plus MY birthday; all of the above takes place on 21st June. All of my adult life I have stretched my birthday antics out for as long as possible. Most of June in fact, and why not? This year, I kicked off the celebrations with the summertime Hacienda Classical festival in home turf of Hampstead Heath, followed by a weekend cruising the south western coastline of Mallorca. I managed to forget how old I am by engulfing myself in holiday reading, getting lost in a great book. Whatever Makes Them Dance by Lindsay Wesker What is masculinity? What is being a man? What is 'being manly'? Are all men really the same? It’s is a love story about a man who does not like being single. He prefers being in a relationship. He prefers having someone to bounce ideas off. Without giving the plot away, it’s a story about a number of things. It's about love. It's about friendship. And it's about the different ways one can live life. You might know Lindsay as one of the infamous DJ founders of the pirate radio incarnation of Kiss FM, now broadcasting on super smooth digital radio station MiSoul. Author, Director and DJ, I thoroughly recommend his book for your Balearic holidays this summer.

The Most Stylish World Cup Jerseys
Now we all know that the World Cup 2018 in Russia is underway. But the game itself isn’t the only exciting thing - the fashion on the pitch is worth taking in too. Nigeria’s kit h (top below) as made headlines over the past few weeks. The cheerful Nike-designed piece has sold a record-breaking 3 million units already, but it’s not the only country that boasts a stylish footy kit. There’s a classic number from Argentina and eye-catching print from Croatia. I quite fancy the idea of donning a blood red Spain shirt with a pair of shorts this summer. Or perhaps even going down the sexy route and wearing one over bikini bottoms. Here’s my pick of the best:
Argentina
The baby blue and white stripe combo adds a tender side to a manly sport. Call it classic. Australia The shirt has a history. Former Australian soccer player Mark Viduka asked fans to turn its stadium into a “sea of gold” 13 years ago. And now, the colour has become the signature of the team’s jersey. The sleeves boast cool stripes, almost like a tattoo. Colombia Whilst many countries in the World Cup are wearing red colours, Colombia’s canary yellow shirt is easy to spot. Sassy too, thanks to the jagged blue and burgundy print around the arms. Croatia Croatia is proud to be Croatia, and that’s great stylistically, too. The Central European country put its red and white checker-
Love Island Fashion Love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it. Yes, the new series of Love Island is dominating the UK’s screens, only a touch behind the World Cup. And fans are already obsessing over what the cast is wearing. The reality show on ITV2 has become a ‘summer fashion catwalk’, inspiring viewers’ seasonal wardrobes. One of the key fashion trends is the kimono, and not just the swimwear variety. For those of you living under a rock, asking “what is a kimono?” – it’s a traditional Japanese fulllength, thin robe, now popular in “boho” culture. Now of course, kimonos are not exactly new on the Balearic boho scene, but take a guess where they are a brand new arrival? You’ll never believe this one: The Kimono landed at Lidl UK stores nationwide this Monday June 17, as part of Heidi Klum’s new summer collection at the budget retailer. Her #LetsLoveSummer range delivers boho festival fashion to all ages, and each piece proves to be truly Instagram
Acid House Fashion Since streetwear has become so mainstream, many suppliers have moved on to new edgier grounds. What’s next? Well, Acid house is it. To the deep basslines and squelching synths of Acid House, Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director Virgil Abloh, and grime star Skepta have been channelling late 80s & early 90s Manchester. Though just a snippet of Manchester’s history, the defunct Hacienda club has proved inspiration for Abloh, who recreated the famed nightclub for a fashion party back in January. The designer joined Skepta at the Parklike Festival this past weekend, which took place on the home-turf of raver history. It’s where graphic artist Harvey Ross Ball’s iconic smiley face went from being a by-word for house music to a coded image for anti-establishment. We’re starting to see nods all over the place to the iconic Happy Hardcore look. Another high-end designer name is to thank for this burgeoning trend new: Anya Hindmarsh. Back in September last year during London Fashion Week, the accessories label presented a spring summer 18 collection complete with stamped and padded leather smileys. For those in the know, here are a few other examples on the high street right now, from Toppers, to Zara, to H&M. Think eighties and early nineties, think yellow, think platform, think hoody. Accieed.
board coat of arms print slap bang on its jersey. It makes for a flashy, can’t-miss-it moment on the field. Comes with the Nike swoosh symbol, too! Peru For those with minimalist tastes. The South American country boasts a simple white jersey with a thick red stripe that cuts diagonally across the chest. Russia The World Cup hosts shirt comes in Sovietshade red with two easy stripes on the sleeves. Japan Japanese design culture is known for process and tradition, and that shows in the country’s soccer jersey. The white pattern is made to resemble sashiko stitching, a functional yet decorative technique for reinforcing fabric that was used in Japan from the early 1600s to the late 1800s. And then there’s three lions on a shirt…. And of course, those fifty years of hurt. The less said about this, the better.
worthy, awash with eye-catching patterns, colourful fringes and flowing fabrics. Other highlight pieces include paisley shorts perfect for festival fun, plus maxi dresses made for sunset drinks and poolside lunches. Prices in the range start from £2.49. The kimono costs £11.99. On the subject of budget shopping, Primark always nail it with their super popular ‘themed collections’, and now they've launched a Love Island 2018 range that will be literally everyone's 'type on paper'. I’m loving the slogan hoodies with phrases such as 'speak to me after Love Island'. No doubt another popular product will be the striped T-shirt embellished with two flamingos, with 'future islander' written on the front. Not that I’ll be wearing that. 'I should have been on Love Island' swimwear will also be available for avid fans. There are bags, jeans and water bottles too, which seem to be popular with all ages. Love Island truly does seem to be conquering all.

Agenda Adda Gallery Opening San Antonio Claire B Saturday June 23 sees the grand opening of the Adda Gallery hosted by the Paradiso Ibiza Art Hotel from 5pm until late, with the inaugural group exhibition ‘Technicolor’. Curated by Anna Dimitrova, ‘Technicolor’ is a collective exhibition in which the idea of light and energy takes form in a vibrant and full of life manner.
Mega-Yacht Titania For Rent, 630,000€ Per Week The exhibition features work from the artists Enric Sant (Barcelona), Fefe Talavera (Brazil), GR170 (Barcelona), KENOR (Barcelona), NasePop (Argentina), Nuria Mora (Madrid), PRO176 aka Profécy (France), Smithe (Mexico), @Spok (Madrid) and Uriginal (Barcelona). Collectively, they contribute a diversity of different points of view that are integrated into one common dialogue, in which each one reflects on the relationship of music and their artwork - where the vibrations of sound, color, light and other sensations travel to create a context of beauty and intensity. Until July 20. Adda Gallery is at Avenida es Caló 70-76, San Antonio Bay, next to the Paradiso Art Hotel.
Charter company Expansion tell us that The Titania is the only mega-yacht that can be rented in the Balearic Islands, it comes in at a cool 630,000 euros a week. The Titania is 73 metres in length. It was manufactured by Lürssen and designed by Peter Instom. Launched in 2006, it has had a complete interior refit this year, with the designers seemingly going for a style somewhere between the homestyles of Hyacinth Boquet and Alan Partridge. Nice.
The 12 berth guest and owner accommodation enjoys every luxury, including a total of 50 televisions, a grand piano, a mini-disco and even a lift. If renters wish to entertain, the main deck can hold up to 100 people, and other services include a gym, massage suite, and a 14 metre high inflatable slide and waterpark. The ship has a crew of 22, including a professional chef. The ship is valued at 75 million euros and its owner is the British mobile phone tycoon John Caudwell, who rents it to finance its maintenance.
TELEVISION, SATELLITE & INTERNET SERVICES
H
owever much we may aspire to ‘live the dream’ under the Mediterranean sun, there are a few things from our native land that are commonly missed among the British & Irish community in Ibiza.
Internet Not so long ago, Ibiza had universally poor internet service, which in some areas offered little more than dial up modem connection speeds. Things are changing, and those parts of the Island covered by Fibre Optic enjoy
300mb speeds that exceed those back in Blighty—but there are still many areas of Ibiza that have very patchy service at best. Satellite and 4g internet reaches the parts fixed connections cannot, and though other services are available, that offered by Fusion has the added advantage of operating through a UK VPN, giving access to all UK location reliant services without any additional software or connection gizmos.
Television Our refusal to give up sports & soaps has meant UK Satellite TV has been available in Spain for many years, however all of Satellite Solutions, A.H. Satellite and Fusion, also offer a range of alternatives including IPTV running through your internet connection, and multi channel boxes that take your TV beyond our native shores to global services with the sports fan’s reassurance of ‘if it’s on, you can get it’.
