Operation Summer Spain is stepping up its anti-terror security measures with an additional 40,000 officers from the National Police and Guardia Civil being deployed to tourist destinations and other important locations for the 2019 summer season.

Named ‘Operation Summer’, the initiative will run from July 1st to Septem-

ber 30th in the Balearic Islands, though other destinations included in the deployment will end a month earlier on August 31st.

During the period of Operation Summer a greater security presence may be observed at transportation terminals, beaches and other key locations, however there should be no disruption to travel or other plans as a result.

The move by the Spanish authorities is not thought to be in reaction to any specific new terror threat. Spain has remained on terror alert level four ‘high’ since 2015. The max(Con nued on page 3)

News How to Obtain Spanish Citizenship Through Naturalisation The British exit from the EU may also lead some British citizens living in Spain to consider making application to become Spanish Citizens.

Blood & Marriage The are many routes open to apply for Spanish citizenship with special rules and qualifying periods for groups with strong Spanish ties, and for those lacking any nationality.

Special processes and application fast-tracks are in place for people born or adopted in Spain, refugees and their children in Spain, most South American nationalities and various other groups including people who have married Spanish citizens.

However, for most British citizens without campanas de boda on the horizon, the route to citizenship is through the naturalisation process.

This requires permanent residency of a minimum 10 years, and jumping through a lot more hoops to boot.

Permanent Residency

An Englishman, an Irishman, and an Englishman Pretending to be an Irishman, Walked into a Pub ...

Suddenly it seems like every other British national abroad is dusting down their family tree to find some Irish connection in their bloodline that will keep them on the European side of the border.

The surge in applications for Irish passports by British citizens continues with 2019 on course to smash all previous records.

Before the Brexit vote in 2016 the number of applications received each year stood at a very stable average of around 45,000 per year.

This increased to 63,000 in the year of the referendum, then to 80,000 in 2017 and double the prereferendum average in 2018 when it reached 98,000.

With the fears of some British living in Europe increasing due to the lack of progress in Brexit negotiations, the number of applications in 2019 looks like it

will break all previous records by some margin.

In the quarter year to the end of march 2019, a total of 37,253 applications were received. If this pattern were repeated for the rest of the year the total number of Irish passport applications made by Britons would be just short of 150,000

Qualification Criteria In order to get an Irish passport, it is necessary to first become an Irish citizen.

There are many ways citizenship can be obtained.

These include by birth, by descent, adoption or naturalisation. Citizenship is also automatic in many cases.

This includes people born on the island of Ireland (i.e.

North or South) before 2005 or anybody who has a parent who is an Irish-born citizen.

Double Vision Observant readers will notice that in addition to the regular tourist pages, two feature pages, Food and Drink and Vara de Rey 22, are reprinted this week.

Unfortunately a bit of a cock up on the communication front at the printing press resulted in several pages being printed black and white that should have been in colour.

As is our standard punishment, the responsible person has been shot.

To obtain permanent residency status you must be able to prove you have lived in Spain for 5 consecutive years to the point of application.

Note: I have read four different documents and guides in preparing this information, and am still unclear whether the 10 year permanent residency threshold is 10 years from the time permanent residency is confirmed, so a minimum of 15 years, 5 prior to permanent residency and 10 after, or 10 years total, 5 up to the point of applying for permanent residency and 5 after.

Citizenship Test Again, a lack of clarity and consistency as to the exact process, nor any indication of whether these requirements will be the same after the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, but with those caveats this will give you a good idea of what is involved.

Applicants will need the following documentation and materials:  A completed citizenship application form  Original and photocopy of a valid NIE  Original and photocopy (every page) of your passport  A birth certificate, issued within the last 90 days with a sworn translation attached, and both documents will need to be ‘legalised’  A criminal record certificate and background check from your home country (certificado de antecedentes penales / certificado de antecedents), printed within the last 90 days with a sworn translation attached and both documents legalized  Spanish criminal record certificate/penales del Registro Central de Penados printed within the 90 days  Your marriage certificate, if applicable  Government registration certificate/ certificado de empadronamiento, printed within the last 90 days  DELE certificate with minimum CEFR A2 in Spanish  A CCSE exam certificate or prueba de conocimientos constitucionales y socioculturales, which is a 25question multiple choice exam testing general knowledge of Spanish culture and laws. The cost is 85€ and is administered by official Instituto Cervantes examination centres about once every month.

Expect your exam results in three weeks.  Proof of application payment of 100€ via modelo 790 código 026. The payment is non-refundable if your application is unsuccessful.

Dual Citizenship Those familiar with Spanish administration will not be surprised that for the third time in this article I have to concede a lack of certainty.

I have read one document that says dual citizenship is only allowed for those with existing South American citizenship, one that says British nationals will be allowed to retain dual citizenship, and another nonofficial advisory saying that though you can’t officially retain your British citizenship, Spain does nothing to remove it from you, so you can keep both in effect.

Take your pick.

imum level is five, ‘very high’.

The plan by Spain’s Interior Ministry includes "strengthening actions to obtain information on the prevention of terrorist acts", with special attention to the threat of jihadist terrorism, according to reports. in the UK press.

The British Foreign & Commonwealth Office has not changed its travel advice for Britons in light of Operation Summer, though the wording of the existing travel advice for holidaymakers to Spain is already written in fearful language.

British Foreign & Commonwealth Advice for Travel to Spain.

Terrorism Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Spain. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners. The Spanish authorities take measures to protect visitors, but you should be vigilant and follow the instructions of the local authorities.

On 17/18 August 2017, there were 2 terrorist-related incidents where vehicles were driven directly at pedestrians, resulting in injuries and loss of life. These were in the Las Ramblas area of Barcelona and Cambrils, near Salou (100km southwest of Barcelona).

The Basque terrorist organisation ETA’s last major attack was in 2006 and it hasn’t mounted any attacks since 2009. In May 2018 it announced it was “disbanding”. British nationals have not been a target of ETA terrorism.

Spanish police have disrupted a number of groups suspected of recruiting individuals to travel to Syria and Iraq from 2015 to the present date. Some of them expressed an intention to carry out attacks in Europe.

There’s a heightened threat of terrorist attack globally against UK interests and British nationals from groups or individuals motivated by the conflict in Iraq and Syria. You should be vigilant at this time.

Terrorism Advice Elsewhere Though Spain is considered a ‘likely’ target for attacks, this may more accurately reflect the nature of global terrorism than any specific likelihood of attack to Spain.

France trumps Spain’s ’likely’ with ’terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in France’, Germany also gets the ‘very likely’ warning’, ditto the USA, and it is hard to consider Britain being awarded anything less if it used the same risk assessment on itself. Even non-confrontational countries such as Demark get a ‘terrorism can’t be ruled out’ warning.

Despite the British press’ attempts to hype up the situation, on balance Spain’s status seems a whole lot more reassuring than many other European countries.

 Mother Sperm Whale Feeding Her Calf, By the Turisiops Project, West Coast of Ibiza June 2019

Family Of Whales Feeding In Ibiza Waters On Monday 17th a sailor recorded at least 6 Fin whales on his journey from Formentera to Jávea, several miles from Es Vedra. http://bit.ly/ibzwhale2

This is the third recent sighting of whales in the Balearic waters as reported in the Diario de Ibiza.

The crew sailing on the ship Es Nautic Café del Mar travelling from Ibiza to Barcelona recorded a Fin whale in the channel between Ibiza and Mallorca.

Turisiops Project On the 10th June the Asociación Tursiops posted a video on their Facebook page showing a mother sperm whale feeding her calf off the West Coast of Ibiza, in an area with a lot of marine traffic. http://bit.ly/ibzwhale1

The video is part of a project the association has been

working on, gathering data on Mediterranean sperm whale numbers and their locations. In total they covered more than 400 miles and spotted 13 whales.

Mediterranean Species The Mediterranean Sea is characterised by high biological diversity and endemism (meaning that many species are present only here), yet it is also one of the regions with the highest levels of marine traffic, pollution, tourism, human density and fishing in the entire world.

Whale & Dolphin species frequenting the Med are Fin whales, Sperm whales, Long-finned Pilot whale, Stripped dolphins, Bottlenose dolphins, Risso’s dolphins, the Short-beaked common dolphin (who have suffered a dramatic decline in the Med making it a rare sight) and the Cuvier’s Beaked whale.

Phillippe Zdar in Fatal Paris Accident

Three Detained in Ibiza For Supplying Laughing Gas

Phillippe Zdar of the French House Dup Cassius has died following a tragic accident.

Police officers have arrested three Dutch nationals with a supply of 500 1L cylinders filled with nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas. The cylinders had been sent from Rotterdam and the three accused travelled directly to Ibiza to wait for the shipment.

Once the merchandise had been received, it was then stored in a rented van and car which they left parked in a public car park in Ibiza Town. National Police found the vehicles and their contents.

Investigators then searched the hotel room where the three detainees were staying and found 2’500 balloons and 500 adaptable nozzles to extract the gas from the cylinders along with other paraphernalia including stickers to give the product greater commercial appeal. It is estimated that the shipment would have resulted in 50,000 doses on the street.

While the sale of nitrous oxide is legal, a person supplying it for human consumption thereby changes its purpose to a medicine which is subject to a medical prescription, It is a crime to sell nitrous oxide for recreational use.

BBC Report.

Philippe Cerboneschi (also known as "Zdar"), one half of French dance duo Cassius, died in Paris on Wednesday, his agent has said.

"He made an accidental fall, through the window of a high floor of a Parisian building," said Sebastien Farran, without giving further details.

“Cerboneschi formed Cassius with Hubert BlancFrancard (aka Boom Bass) in 1996.

“They produced for bands such as Phoenix, Beastie Boys, Franz Ferdinand and French hip hop star MC Solaar.

“The band's first album in three years, Dreems, is due to be released on Friday.

“Cerboneschi was in his early 50s.”

Tributes Tributes have been paid by many of the biggest names

in the music industry.

Phillippe’s Ibiza connections received warm reflection in local tributes.  Dan Kirwin (with video clip) Really sad to hear about the tragic death of Cassius producer Philippe Zdar. Got to meet him when I worked for Mambo Ibiza back in 2016 when I shot this video, one of the highlights of that year in Mambo where the energy of that night was so infectious.

Fire In San Antonio  Photo Vincent Mari A fire broke out on Monday afternoon in a stubble-field on a privately-owned property in the Camí des Regueró street in San Antonio.

According to initial reports, the fire started at around 4.15pm on the land near the house, burning down an unoccupied caravan on the land and spreading through an area of cane and stubble-field next to Camí des Regueró.

In attendance were 10 firefighters, the fire plane, helicopter, fire engine and two environmental agents. An ambulance was in attendance to assist one of the residents of the house who suffered smoke inhalation.

The fire was quickly under control and extinguished. The fire destroyed 5,700m2 of agricultural land and surrounding area.

Opinion All About The Bay of San Antonio  Commonly referred to as ’The Bay’, the term was actually

an invention of the British tourist industry in the 70s.

They wanted a way to differentiate the new resort hotels being built on the opposite side of the natural bay from the urban centre of San Antonio. Until that point San Antonio Bay was a term used as a geographical feature, La Bahia de Sant Antoni, not in reference to a particular place, the Southern side of the Bay, as it has now become.  The actual place names of the areas that form what is referred to as ’The Bay’ are Cala de Bou, Port des Torrent, and bridging the two, Ses Fontanelles, though the latter is heard far less frequently.  To confuse matters further ‘The Bay’ that is really the Southern half of the natural bay, is itself comprised of several smaller bays that line its coast from Port Des Torrent at its most Westerly point, all the way to Pinet Playa, the last substantial beach to the East. The coast between the series of beaches is of rugged rocks.  Reflecting this confused state, even fountain of all knowledge Google struggles to interpret search criteria using the term ‘the bay of San Antonio. Google still applies the term as a geographical feature, and so returns results including businesses located in San Antonio itself and San Antonio Bay. However searching for San Antonio without the prefix ‘the bay of’ will correctly give results in the urban area only. Tripadvisor has caught up and will serve a list relevant to the Bay.  Most of the hotels, bars and restaurants line Carrer des Calo and Carrer Cala de Bou, known locally as the Lower Bay Road, and these are complimented by a good selection of restaurants dotted along the shore on the various beaches.  The result is a melting pot of styles and services, from simple low cost cafés and bars to an ever increasing number of chic cocktail bars and eateries, from the most basic family budget apartments to the very top tariffs of Ibiza’s 5 star elite.  The Bay is in the midst of a major period of redevelopment. Over recent years and still ongoing, many of its midmarket hotel and apartment complexes have received multimillion euro upgrades, many emerging as 4 and 5 star luxury accommodation, reflecting a general change happening throughout Ibiza. A major project now underway is the creation of an uninterrupted paseo (promenade) from Port des Torrent running the entire length of the Bay and linking up with the san Antonio paseo to create an uninterrupted ‘Superbay’ (as we have coined it).  Though the changes are coming thick and fast, Cala de Bou has a strong sense of community among its local population, with a high proportion of native British and Irish year-round residents and workers.

 Nick Gibbs, Editor The Ibizan, and before it The Ibiza Sun, has always had strong connections to Cala de Bou, a.k.a. San Antonio Bay. Founder Chris Langley lives in the Bay, second owner Dan Darvey based the newspaper office in his Cala de Bou hotel.

I had always lived on the other side of the island, but gravitated to the Bay because of working with the newspaper, and we now have family roots in the area, our son attending the Es Vedra school.

Despite working to ensure we reflect balanced and proportional news from across the island, this close connection obviously has some effect. It is human nature to pay particular interest to issues affecting your own home ground.

Though close to the municipality of San Antoni, the Bay falls inside Ibiza’s southernmost area of Sant Josep de sa Talaia for all administrative and regulatory purposes.

“I

t started with a vague notion, but the deeper I went, the more outrageous it became”

Though I cannot give you any numbers to back up the claim, it is generally accepted that The Bay is by some margin the largest residential population in Sant Josep, and together with Playa d’en Bossa which also falls inside Sant Josep, accounts for the vast majority of tourism accommodation, employment and revenue. And I stress, the vast majority.

For people unfamiliar with the area the inset ‘About The Bay’ will be helpful.

Among many of its residents, businesses and workers there has always been something of a feeling that we are the unwanted love child in the Sant Josep family. Bar talk, not

getting our fair share of resources etc. But then we all have a tendency to bemoan our lot right?

I hadn’t really thought about it in any terms of objective comparison until sitting taking a coffee in the centre of Sant Josep earlier this year. It was the initially subliminal recognition of post boxes that set the train of thought going. There I was, sitting within 5 minutes walk of the Sant Josep post office, yet I could see two post boxes from my terrace table.

You see Cala de Bou doesn’t have a post office. And then when I came to think of it, we don’t even have a single post box. Not one post box in the municipality’s biggest urban centre, whilst our borough’s capital, a quaint though otherwise irrelevant village, seems to have them scattered around with a density that avoided the need to even cross a road to post your letter, far less our need to travel to a neighbouring town.

My thoughts went on from there resulting in the inevitable post on Social Media (right). It received a good response online, however the reaction in face to face discussion has been incredible. I totally understand why businesses in The Bay, particularly those who rely on licences to serve tourist customers, would prefer to keep under the radar in expressing their opinions.

When you actually look at it as a comparative list it is a pretty shocking level of disparity. The resources the little village has over the area’s biggest town is too great a differential to be any kind of coincidence or luck of the draw.

That was back in April and with it off my chest and the new season newspaper in full flow, I didn’t think a great deal more about it until I caught a couple of promotional videos from the Sant Josep tourism page on facebook.

The videos are beautiful snapshots of some of our municipality’s greatest natural treasures, and I am not saying for one moment they should not be promoted. But at the same time it seemed fair to ask the Sant Josep department of tourism what promotion was planned for Cale de Bou, it being the area in the Borough that earns all the money to pay for nice promotional videos, (as it turned out it might be that these particular videos were made privately and the tourism office was sharing them for free or paid licence, but as you will see it becomes irrelevant).

I did not receive an answer, I didn’t really expect one, but it did provoke my curiosity enough to go digging a little further, and the deeper I went, the more outrageous it became.

Facebook

Despite having the largest residential population of San Jose, and a very big if not the largest ratio of tourist beds in San Jose, Cala de Bou has not featured, not even a mention, on their official facebook tourism page this season.

Cala de Bou Description  The Cala de Bou area is next to the

town of Sant Antoni, this area is also known as San Antonio Bay, a good place for practicing water sports. It’s an area frequented by island residents and tourists for its wide offer in leisure activities, both, by day and by night. In this area you can watch breath-taking sunsets with the nice view of the Illots de Ponent in the background.

OK, as a succinct description that may not seem too bad. It mentions the ‘breathtaking sunsets’ after all.

Uninspiring but adequate? Not when you start comparing it to the other pages on the site.

Given the volume of posts, with many places being featured several times over the past two months, it would seem statistically improbable that the omission of Cala de Bou is a coincidence. Nor could they claim to have forgotten about us, I have reminded them of our existence more than once.

Website With no luck on Facebook I headed over to the official website to see how the Bay is promoted.

The first and most noticeable point is that as far as the website is concerned The Bay of San Antonio does not exist. From the homepage it is not on any menu option of places or beaches. Remember, this is a tourism website, not the main Council website on which you could accept that The Bay would not be shown and places would be listed in their correct local names. But 90% of British and Irish tourists staying in The Bay of San Antonio will have booked their accommodation as exactly that, The Bay, and they wouldn’t have a clue where Cala de Bou was any more than any of the other Calas listed on the site.

Perhaps a human oversight? It would seem a big one given the proportion of potential visitors it would preclude, but human error cannot be the reason as the first sentence in Cala de Bou’s area de-

Cala de Bou, the biggest tourist resort in the borough, 72 words. Even San Jordi has a bigger and more interesting entry than this. I’ve nothing against the place, lovely hamlet, but there is absolutely nothing there worthy of it having a more substantial entry than The Bay, least of all any tourists.

Comparisons Photos See the photo sets facing page. Cala de Bou gets less than anybody else, and though it is a subjective question, I think most people would agree the quality of the Cala de Bou images is lacking. They look like average visitor shots taken from Tripadvisor. The other locations’ images are professional and much more impressive.

Descriptions Towns  Cala de Bou - 72 words  San Jordi - 96 words  Sant Josep - 135 words  Playa d’en Bossa - 164 words

Areas  The Bay (Bou + Torrent) 143 words  West (Tarida, Compte etc) 353 words

Same Sunsets?

But it is not just about volume. There is also a clear and marked difference in the enthusiasm of the language.

In many respects a great website. Plenty of useful information and ideas. But it does have one rather glaring issue in completeness.

Sunset & View Cala de Bou entry.  “In this area you can watch breath-

taking sunsets with a nice view of the Illots de Ponent in the background” The sunset is illustrated by the single OKbut-nothing-to-write-home-about sunset picture in the Cala de Bou set.

Sunset & View in the Comte entry  “Sunsets. Without any doubt the is-

land’s west coast offers the best sunsets in Ibiza, during the whole year you can enjoy the beauty of the sunsets. The most popular place to watch it from is Platges de Compte, but depending on the time of year you can also equally enjoy them from other beaches. Thousands of red, orange and purple tones colour the sky every evening.”  “Illots de Ponent Natural Reserve. The islets are part of the Reserva Natural de Es Vedrà, Es Vedranell y los islotes de Poniente located in the west and southwest coast of the island of Ibiza.

From almost the whole entire coast you can spot the islets of Sa Conillera, S’Illa des Bosc, Ses Bledes (4 islets) and S’Espartar, which form this nature reserve of great beauty and wildlife and vegetation diversity.”

This entry is illustrated by multiple photos of much higher quality in the comte set.

 Sant Agusti - 28  Cala Comte - 46 Another bad showing for The Bay. Onward & upward.

Events I next turned my attention to events.

Surely Cala de Bou must do well here. As the largest residential area by a big margin we’d be bound to have an active agenda of public fiestas, events and cultural activities.

Cala de Bou ‘nice view’, Cala Compte ‘Thousands of red, orange and purple tones colour the sky every evening’.

This is the same view. The same sunset.

See what I mean by the Cala de Bou effort as feeble?

I got to thinking that perhaps there was some greater purpose in wanting movement, a reason the council wanted people to see the sunset from a particular location.

But if anything that would mean that the council discouraged people from the environmental destruction and daily chaos of traffic to Cala Comte.

Instead they could tell the majority of tourists staying in their municipality that they could enjoy the sunset just as much in their own Bay back yard.

Website Search So we are off to a bad start on the tourism guides, but every website has its strengths and weaknesses. How about search?

Unfortunately no better. San Antonio Bay returned just two results. Cala de Bou’s return of 52 initially looked promising. It turned out 48 of these were for Stand Up Paddle surf in Cala Vadella.

So whether searching for Cala de Bou or San Antonio Bay the maximum results are 4.

Cultural Agenda Over to the main cultural agenda. If there is one thing we all know in Ibiza, the programme of arts, music, culinary initiatives, sports and much more is never ending.

We are spoilt for choice.

The Bay mation office they built around 5 years ago and have never occupied for a single day. It also has huge attached parking facilities and a motivated landlord.

But even if they didn’t want to use that space there are no shortage of options.

The paseo by Playa Bella, the community area near the mini-library, any one of many closed commercial units, there is no shortage of options.

Exclusion of the Bay is not restricted to Tourism. The Sant Josep cultural agenda does not include one event in Cala de Bou for the whole year of 2019 Unless it seems you happen to live in the largest residential population of the largest municipality on the island, because then you get absolutely nothing. There is not one entry in Sant Josep’s 2019 cultural calendar for Cala de Bou. By now you may have sensed that coming, and in fact the good news is that we do actually have an event. Once a year we have a tent, one churros vendor, and the same kids entertainer. Party all night we do, it’s epic.

Sorry about that. I told myself at the outset to get through this without sarcasm creeping in.

But it is truly dismal. Nothing, for the entire year.

We do also have the 3 Kings and for the last couple of years a much curtailed version of the carnival procession.

San Jose village on the other hand, the place where they decide who is getting what, has a steady stream of sardine BBQs, music festivals, food festivals, combined music and food festivals, plus the rich variety of events at their very own arts and film centre.

On the subject of the arts centre I should mention that the construction of Cala de Bou’s undefined auditorium is underway.

But given it was started in 2011 we are not holding our breath.

This market event is actively promoted to tourists. I know that for a fact as we receive the promotional material. But rather than hold it in Cala de Bou and reach many thousands more of the tourists they want to attend. However, it is held in San Jose Village, thereby attracting a fraction of the tourists it would in The Bay, and those that do go along are adding to the traffic carnage the village of San José is becoming known for.

There is no issue over availability of location. There is a ready made unused market in the Bay. The council have to know it exists as it surrounds the tourist infor-

Given that Cala de Bou has no events and San Jose village already has many, the only logical reason I can think of to explain the decision to hold it in San Jose village and not in Cala de Bou is that the economic interests of the village of San Jose are considered more deserving of the boost the market brings than the businesses of Cala de Bou. Take a walk around both places and I think you will agree that only nepotism could result in that decision.

It is only one example, and there may be valid reasons why it is where it is. But it is difficult to think of why the Municipality do not see fit to hold anything at all in The Bay.

Sant Josep tourism website devoted to beaches.

Cala de Bou is actually comprised of 2 substantial beaches and several small beaches, so I was interested to see which ones would be included.

The most obvious choices would be Pinet Playa, also known and famed as the Reggae Beach, a lovely and gently shelving beach very popular with residents and tourists alike, including restaurants, water sports and a water taxi and boat trips.

Then also the beach officially called Cala de Bou, also a departure point for water taxis and more.

Plus the beach in front of the very popular chill lounge Kumharas, arguably the very best sunset spot in the Bay, let’s not forget that “nice view”, plus there are others that have their own charms. The ridiculously quiet even in peak season Beach adjacent to The Beach Lounge. The very small beach that no one seems to mind dogs using to cool down at Ses Fontanelles (it never gets cleaned of the shore seaweed so people don’t tend to use it). Lots of beaches for lots of different people and preferences.

for visitors. Serving suggestions on highlights of a visit, must do activities etc.

By now we can safely assume that The Bay would not get one of the very good guides produced for Cala d’Hort, Cala Comte and several others. These location guides suggest experiences and highlights for the visitor. We know by now that we are not worthy of such attention, but there is still hope.

Gotcha! The Bay has to be in this. Our Hotel Paradiso was recently voted one of the most Instagrammed places by no less than Instagram.

Guess how many Cala de Bou beaches are included in the Sant Josep official tourist guide?

Zero. Nil. Nada. Not a sausage.

Despite appearing to give every beach in the borough their own Beach Page, not one of the beaches in The Bay is listed.

See for yourself.

Nope. Nothing in the Bay. I’ve heard a rumour that number 11 would have been ‘under no circumstances go to Cala de Bou’. Given where we’re at I’d take it. Anything to know we’re alive. But no, nothing in the top 10 for the Bay.

72 Hours in Sant Josep, Parts 1+2

This monster of a blog article squeezes every drop out of a ’perfect’ 72 hours in San Jose. Its itinerary includes: San Jose, the Ponent Reserve, Cala Comte, Cala Tarida, Sant Agusti, and then to finish the first night, “taking in the excitement of the bars and clubs in Playa d’en Bossa”.

At the outset I would have expected that they faced similar issues to Cala de Bou. Another unwanted love child the Town Hall would prefer to forget.

Without question they are also underrepresented, but at least they get a mention, they are acknowledged. They have had posts on the official facebook page this year, not many but some. They get a beach page. Their description is 3 times that of the bay and written with some demonstration of interest and enthusiasm.

If San José considers Playa Den Bossa the unwanted love child of its family, it considers The Bay as Meg from Family Guy. Apologies to those who are unfamiliar with Family Guy, but those who know it will know exactly what I mean.

Direct Promotion Last chance saloon for San Jose to redeem itself and give some support to the town that provides most of its tax revenue and employment. A final way to show it wants to give good service to the tourists that choose to spend their holiday budgets within its boundaries.

San Jose has a series of direct promotions

Pick a beach, any beach, whatever takes your fancy.

As long as it is not in the Bay of course.

department of tourism perfect 72 hours in Sant Josep would turn to the village of San Jose (again) for that particular pleasure, adding the line that really does sum it all up …

The next day starts again in San Jose for reasons that are not entirely clear and then moves on to Es Cubells, Es Codolar, Es Cavallet, Ses Salinas, Cala D’Hort, Es Vedra, Cala Vadella and Sant Francesc.

The 72 hours in Sant Josep then considers that you might want some evening entertainment and cocktails after the exertions of last night. So where in its broad boundaries does it suggest? The spectacular vista from Rooftop 9? The cool chill and sunset thrill of Kumharas? Or the sand between your toes on Pinet Playa at the restaurant or the Reggae Bar? Or any one of the hundred plus bars in the bay catering for exactly that evening cocktail and entertainment market?

Nope. None of the above. The official

“With a little bit of luck it may be a live music night at one of its bars and you can enjoy your drink with live music. And of course, if the night gets lively you just have to go back to Platja d’en Bossa where you’ll have a good time at any of its establishments.“ “With a little bit of luck it may be a live music night”, brilliant, the sheer cheek of it.

And if you want to up a gear what are your choices? None, just Bossa obviously, yet again the Bay does not merit a mention.

The San Jose tourism people have one last blast of bias in the morning.

After your action packed 72 hours you’ll be wanting breakfast before you leave. So where do you think they recommend you get it? Possibly Cala de Bou? Which is of course where you are probably staying? I mean come on, they can give us one breakfast surely? Something? A scrap from the Sant Josep table?

But no, what an utterly ridiculous thing to suggest. This is what you must do as directed by the official tourism website.

“Head towards Sant Josep, the capital of the municipality, a charming village where you can have a great breakfast at any of its establishments and cafés.

There are many places to choose from.

You’ll find from more traditional bars where you can have a coffee and toast to more modern places that serve more innovative dishes. Also enjoy the vibe (Con nued on page 9)

Utterly shameless

Conclusion I set out on this now substantial article with no such epic intentions. I thought it would be an opportunity to get this ‘poor relation’ issue off my chest and into print as a worthy if transient complaint, provoke some thought but soon forgotten.

But what I uncovered has made it feel so much more. Not one of the individual omissions or half hearted inclusions mean a great deal on their own. But all taken together it does mean a great deal. There is no way, no argument I could accept, that would explain all of these issues as circumstantial, as coincidental and non-intentional.

Cala de Bou is so important to the residential population of the municipality, so important to its tourism and through that the employment and economy of the municipality, that only a determined effort could see it ignored and excluded from the Sant Josep Office of Tourism and Cultural Agenda to the extent it is.

 Claire B  San Antonio, Es Paradis The White Island Orchestra (formerly The Ibiza House Orchestra) is having a residency at Es Paradis, every Saturday night from June 22 through to September 14.

Ibiza’s 14-piece live electronic collective, are made up of some of the island’s most talented and respected musicians and vocalists. With a slight change of name, it’s essentially business as usual with the added bonus of a new singer – Jodie Kean – added to the line-up, joining Simonne Cooper and Yeshe Ryser Ruiz on vocals. They will be gracing the stage of Es Paradis with their infectious live performances and will be taking dance music lovers on a journey down memory lane with their unique take on classic house anthems and providing a succession of hands-in-the-air ‘Ibiza moments’. With an electrifying world-class delivery their live show has a goose-bumps-inducing effect, with anthemic tracks such as Brothers In Rhythm’s ‘Such A Good Feeling’, Chicane’s ‘Offshore’ and Moby’s ‘Go’ all given The White Island Orchestra’s bespoke treatment.

And this year they’ve added some new tunes into the set list, so there will be some new surprises for anyone who has seen them play before.

No strangers to the big stage, these incredible musicians have all wooed crowds with legendary performances in some of the most iconic venues on The White Isle including Atzaró, O Beach, Ibiza Town’s historic Necrópolis Púnica and Space Ibiza. With a 2019 residency at the stunning Es Paradis, The White Island Orchestra will be an unstoppable force this summer in Ibiza. If you haven’t seen them yet, then here’s your chance – they’re highly recommended. Get ready to put your hands in the air and have your mind blown … goose bumps are guaranteed!

Contra Cancer Charity Concert with Davy Lyons Teatro Espana, Santa Eulalia, 9pm, 22 June On Saturday 22nd June a charity concert will be held at the Teatro Espana from 9pm to raise money for cancer patients and their families. Davy Lyons and his band will perform the concert to launch his debut album ‘EVIDENCE’.

Davy and his band are putting on the concert for free and has chosen Ibiza to launch his album because the island is the "heart of music" and a special place in the heart of himself and his family.

Davy Lyons is originally from Wexford, Ireland but now lives in Barcelona, the music is folk style, with musicians (guitar, violin, piano & double bass) providing an interesting twist and upbeat tempo to the lyrics, telling stories in ballad form with a more modern intensity.

Enjoy this unique musical experience where melody and words meet in a ceremony of intimacy while supporting a charity where every cent raised stays on Ibiza to help those and their families effected by cancer.

The concert will last for 90 minutes and afterwards there will be a glass of cava to celebrate the event.

Tickets are by donation of 10€ and will be available on the door or pre-bookable through bsplash agency with ALL proceeds going to Contra Cancer Ibiza & Formentera.

This isn’t a case of feeling hard done by. This is outrageous. It is bias and nepotism at its worst. But most of all, above all other considerations I am in no doubt that the real driving force behind these issues is one thing only. It is snobbery. It is that Ibiza thing when the island looks down its own nose at those who made it what it has become. Snobbery isn’t restricted to Sant Josep alone, but with its border outposts of San An Bay and Playa d’en Bossa serving as its prostitute cash cows for decades, the particular circumstances of the municipality give greater likelihood of that circumstance prevailing.

This lack of support may have been hidden by a thriving tourist sector for many years. However, there are big changes coming.

Much of the Bay already faces the challenge of adapting to the severe restrictions on their established entertainment offer, and as the demographic of the hotel accommodation changes from mid market to high end, and also the paseo extension is built, it will dramatically change the footfall and so business model opportunities for the businesses of the bay and their employees.

Our neighbouring town of Sant Antoni de Portmany faces similar issues in a crisis of confidence over its own identity, but in San Antonio the problem is all around them, it is in the town where they live and work. They cannot sneer at themselves in the way San Jose feels able to sneer at its own prostitute urbanisations from distance.

At a time the Bay is likely to need the support of the municipal powers more than it ever has before, it is of great concern that the Town Hall views it with somewhere between contempt and oblivious disregard.

Perhaps their reaction to this exposure of the lack of parity in the promotion of the areas within their municipality will be a good indicator of how difficult it will be to effect change in their approach.

The greatest evidence of this is perhaps the cultural calendar and local resources. There may be, just possibly, some commercial factors that could come into play to explain the lack of tourism promotion in the Bay. I don’t think there are, but it is conceivable.

But there is nothing that will demonstrate to my satisfaction why San Jose has its rich programme of events, indulges itself in every resource and such manicured upkeep, and gives us in the Bay nothing. Not even a postbox. We’re not even worthy of recommending a tourist breakfast.

Agenda Noche de San Juan  Rhian King Sunday 23 June, Various Locations June 24th is the Patron Saint’s day of John the Baptist or San Juan. It is widely celebrated all over the world including mainland Spain, and Ibiza is no exception. Being the patron saint of the town of San Juan, the fiesta and celebrations there are taken very seriously, but there are also celebrations in other parts of the island. The night of San Juan (La Noche de San Juan) is usually celebrated with music starting in the evening of the 23rd with bonfires and/or fireworks at midnight to see in the 24th.

As it occurs just a few days after the Summer Solstice (the longest day on June 21st), it is also used as a celebration of the start of the summer.

Traditionally, and this still happens in some places, people jump over the bonfires, or run over hot coals, as a way of purifying the body and soul. Traditionally, you should throw into the fire something old that represents something you no longer want in your life or a piece of paper where you are meant to write those things you want to change. It is also customary in Ibiza to eat San Juan macaroni, made with curly noodles cooked in milk, sugar, cinnamon and lemon rind. Other typical cuisine of Ibiza, such as orelletes, wine or traditional spirits are also eaten in family homes.

Sant Joan de Labritja

From 9pm to 4am there will be an artisan and creative market of recycled and handmade products. At 10.30pm Tom Mayor will perform live in concert. The parade of puppets will be begin at 11.45pm as well as the ritual of the four elements in the Plaza de España. At Midnight the Bonfires of San Juan or ‘Foguerons’ will start behind the church. Here you can jump the bonfires and purify your body and soul.

Once the bonfires are finished, the party will continue with DJs Djamal playing Disco, Funk & Soul on the old Town Hall Street, Javi Box and The Selecters with music from the 60s, 70s and 80s in the Plaza de España .

he good people at Statistica referred to Padel as ‘the biggest Sport you’ve never heard of’. However, they are writing for a global audience and if you have spent any length of time in Ibiza or anywhere else in Spain, chances are you will have heard of it, seen it, and perhaps played it.

Global Sights As shown in the Statistica infographic below, the game is still very much a specialist sport of Spain and Argentina, but the signs are that Padel is set to become a global success, putting Padel superstars such as Fernando Belasteguín, Paquito Navarro and Maxi Sánchez on a par with the household Tennis names of Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Ibrahimović and co.

Celebrity Support And there is no division of rivalry between the established tennis world and the new padel kids on the block either. Zlatan Ibrahimović loves it and Andy Murray recently invested in a company advocating the game in the UK. Padel has plenty of celebrity fans too.

Jürgen Klopp refers to it as “the best sport of my life”.

Origins Conceived in Mexico in the 1960s, when a man named Enrique Corcuera added a back wall to a fronton court in his garden, padel is a unique mix of tennis and squash, played on a 10 by 20-meter court enclosed by glass walls and metal fencing.

Normally played in doubles, padel is less physically demanding than tennis, much easier to pick up but just as difficult to master.

Thanks to the glass walls and fences surrounding the court, the ball rarely goes out of play, creating longer rallies and making it harder to finish off points with brute force.

Growth As the Statistica chart shows, Spain and Argentina are at the forefront of the padel revolution, with thousands of courts available to players in both countries.

However, in recent years, the sport has grown beyond the borders of its homelands and spread rapidly to other countries. The number of rackets sold worldwide grew roughly fivefold between 2002 and 2017, and with new courts popping up left and right in countries like the Netherlands, Sweden and France, that growth will likely continue going forward.

Find out more about the sport from the International Padel Federation’s website. http://www.padelfip.com/

Ibiza Padel The following directory (of sorts) is compiled with the assistance of the helpful folk on Facebook’s Ibiza winter residents, hence some have descriptive locations in lieu of a full address.

We will update these as we go on in the web version of this article, and if you have any more courts or contact info to add please let us know.

Our thanks to Iben Sigaard Mikkelsen who told us that the larger clubs all have coaching facilities, mentioning that Andy Mari speaks fluent English. Also that all locations require advance booking of courts, and bookings can be made through the app Reservaplay, available on IOS and Android. https://www.reservaplay.com

Food & Drink A

Ample 32

change of style in this week’s food & drink section. Instead of telling about the fantastic food we have eaten, we thought we’d share a heads up on some of the menus we can’t wait to try.

We knew Ample 32 had some great food. Hands up, that one we have tried. But we didn’t know about a whole host of new additions, nor the awesome view from their raised terrace. There are plenty of places to watch the sunset, but not so many where you can make it that bit extra special with some true fine dining.

Also, I hope they won’t mind me saying this, not so expensive either. You look at the food, look at the setting, it feels it should cost more. We’re not complaining, doubt you will either.

Canalla by La Cantina Canalla has all the signs of becoming a landmark restaurant in Ibiza, and in more ways than just the food.

Located in what was the infamous Koppas café at the foot of San Antonio’s West End, it’s repurposing as a new gastronomic gem is as clear a sign as you could ever receive that the town and its tourist offer is reinventing itself.

But politics has no place on the Food & drink page, what we are much more excited about is the Canalla menu. Foodies will know that Peruvian Nikkei (Japanese) cuisine has a tradition going back centuries.

Right now it is enjoying global spotlight—its fusion of Asian and American flavours in light and fresh forms tick all the boxes of what the modern metro diner wants for their dinner. But don’t think for a moment it is hype. So tasty, and I’m hooked on Pisco.

Relish Restaurant Another restaurant taking on global inspiration is Relish in Cala de Bou. Their winter was well spent planning an all new Tapas Menu with flavours from the four continents of Europe, America, Asia and Africa.

The new Tapas selection sits alongside a good range of their long held customer favourites, but by the looks of these little numbers we predict hit after hit.

The Relish menu was devised to include a full range of Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free and Dairy Free options—so good to see dietary needs being treated as a fundamental part of the menu. Perhaps the days of a pasta afterthought are numbered?

Ibosim Brewery All this wonderful food, but what would life be without beer. Good beer. Real beer. Ibosim brew some belters, but this one seems leftfield even for them. Got to try it.

Ibosim 21Jun 6pm, Ibosim Brewhouse, c/ Valencia 4, Port des Torrent Port d'es Torrent

Ibosim are presenting a new limited-edition beer, Snowden, Russian Imperial Stout.

Ibosim Snowden is an exquisitely complex beer of very limited edition, a true sensory experience. With the combination of seven types of malt you get roasted notes, hints of liquorice, raisins and nuts, an intense body, velvety texture and a deep black colour. Its character is completed with the Japanese hops Sorachi Ace and with a subsequent maturation with French oak shavings cured in white rum distilled by their friends from Bows Distillerie. As if not enough, they wanted to gild the lily and make three amazing variations on this basis playing with different additional ingredients. Enjoy it without hurry.

As always Manolo Pizza Chef will be serving his delicious artisanal pizzas to accompany the beer.

The Queen looked radiant in yellow at the Royal Ascot 2018 - but it's not a dead cert she'll make an appearance this year.

What's the Royal Ascot dress code? The notoriously strict dress code for Royal Ascot partly depends on which enclosure you happen to be in.

Last year, the world-famous race track hit headlines by banning blokes from wearing shoes without socks. And jumpsuits for ladies were only added to the acceptable dress code in 2017.

If you're lucky enough to be invited to the royal enclosure, ladies are asked to wear:  "Modest" dresses or skirts which finish just above the knee or longer  Dresses or tops with a strap of one inch or wider (strapless, off-the-shoulder and spaghetti straps are banned)  Trouser suits and jumpsuits are welcome, but must be full-length to the ankle  If wearing a trouser suit, jackets and trousers should be matching in material and colour  Hats or fascinators, with a base of 4ins or more, must be worn  Midriffs must be covered  Women must wear hats or a 4in fascinator, while blokes have to wear full morning dress and top hat, plus:  A morning suit, waistcoat and tie (bow ties

 Amanda O’Riordan Welcome to the WET hell that is june 2019 in the UK. Today is my birthday and it’s miserable out there.

This should lift our spirits, following the washout we are currently experiencing.

Who knew Fried chicken drumstick trousers could become a huge trend in 2019, but would YOU wear them?

If you can pluck up the courage to wear the garment in public, you can pick it up from Amazon for just £4.80.

JUST when you thought you’d seen it all, think again.

You can now buy trousers that resemble chicken drumsticks and they look perfect for food lovers who are indulging over festival season.

Chicken drumstick trousers, £4.80 from Amazon The bizarre “fried chicken” trousers make your legs look like two meaty snacks, just with less grease.

One description online read: “The most chic Chicken leg pants – very popular in Instagram and Facebook.

“It reminds me of the KFC Chicken leg. You can look like carrots, crispy chips or the back of a horse, etc.

All you can imagine.”

The harem-style trousers come in a range of sizes, so you can get the chicken leg that fits you best.

Chicken-lovers are sure to ruffle some feathers in the three-quarter-length cotton pants, which look perfect for when you are tucking into a plate of wings.

Some shoppers have been left baffled at the unusual garment.

One person tweeted: “Y’all. These are a real thing. I’m dying.”

Another Twitter user raved: “Check out one of the latest fashion trends: Fried Chicken Pants. Bringin’ sexy back!”

So, would YOU wing it and wear them?

Onto this week and it’s all about Royal Ascot, plus H&M & Other Stories and how to protect yourself against Skin Cancer.

and cravats are banned)  A black or grey top hat (coloured ribbons and bands are banned)  Black shoes, worn with socks Men may only remove their hats in a restaurant, private box, private club or on the terrace of any of these places. Fancy dress, novelty and branded clothes are absolutely not allowed.

What's the Royal Ascot dress code for the cheaper enclosures? If you're in the cheaper Queen Anne Enclosure, ladies can get away with fascinators and slightly shorter dresses.

Call this fun?

Many do.

Nike Plus Size Mannequins

 Read Amanda’s fashion blog http://amandazipsitup.com/

H&M Love Stories If you're still looking for holiday essentials, we guarantee you'll love H&Ms latest designer collab. Yes, H&M's second Love Stories collection has just dropped online, and it's selling fast When H&M collaborated with Dutch brand Love Stories in 2018, designing an affordable lingerie collection, customers couldn't grab hold of it fast enough.

Nike has been slammed for ‘normalising obesity’ and ‘promoting unhealthy living’ with new plus-size mannequins in their London store.

The controversial additions to its flagship store in London's Oxford Street are part of a revamped women’s space dedicated to “celebrating the diversity and inclusivity of sport”.

As a result, many jumped straight onto social media to congratulate the fitness brand for this development. But, typically, not everyone was as positive, with some suggesting the mannequins were promoting “unhealthy” weight levels.

One comment read “Nike Mannequin normalising obesity. Not a good move, but seems the U.K. loves to be in denial of fat.”

However, there was plenty of enthusiasm on the other side of the debate. “I don’t know why but this @Nike mannequin makes me feel so empo-

wered,” said one Twitter user.

The store, which launched the renovated women’s zone last week, will also offer services such as legging adjustments, bra fitting and clothes customisation for members.

Nike first launched a plus size collection in 2017, with sizes ranging from 1XL to 3XL. The clothes range aims to deliver the “the most robust range of sizes for women in more colours and styles than ever before”, the retailer said.

Although I’m not overweight, I like the option of having larger sizes available. As a woman of, dare I say it, “advancing” age, my weight fluctuates, even though I aim to exercise every week. So, I applaud NikePlus.

Hardly surprising, since the H&M prices were a fraction of the designer’s price tags.

If you missed out then, you'll be pleased to know the high street store has just dropped its second instalment, expanding the range with gorgeous swimwear and must-have beach accessories.

If you're still in the market for some swimwear, you'll love the romantic prints, candy-coated colours (dusky pink and soft green set the tone) and superior sporty cuts, all of which are signature to the

Love Stories brand.

Marloes Hoedeman the founder of Love Stories says: "It's a dream to be collaborating with H&M again, offering customers a Love Stories aesthetic at H&M prices. The Love Stories Swim Club x H&M collaboration stays true to our mix and match principle and is designed for fun summer holidays."

Show off sun-kissed shoulders in this pretty Bardot swimsuit. There really is something for all, from chic belted swimsuits, to frilly bandeau bikinis and fancy flip flops.

You’re in a good space right now so don’t become too complacent and loose track off time, as change is necessary for you to build bigger and better dreams.

Dragonfly  Tyke Fortier A 9 year old recently asked these questions, When we die, what if there is nothing?

What if heaven doesn´t accept pets?

How do you believe?

The Dragonfly Story “In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not understand why none of their group ever came back after crawling up the lily stems to the top of the water.

They promised each other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb would return and tell what had happened to him.

Soon one of them felt an urgent impulse to seek the surface.

LEO - Six of Swords

He rested himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious transformation which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings.

In vain he tried to keep his promise.

Flying back and forth over the pond, he peered down at his friends below.

Then he realized that even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant creature as one of their number.” (by Walter Dudley Cavert) The fact that we cannot see our friends or communicate with them after the transformation which we call death is no proof that they cease to exist.”

Jesus said, “I am the Resurrection and the Life and he who believes in me, though he may die, he will live. And whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. (John 11:5-6) When we are friends with Jesus and we die, we will go to be with Jesus in Heaven, where there is no death or pain or sadness or crying. (Rev 21:4) We will be reunited with our pets in heaven because Jesus tells us that all his Angels, animals & all creation (that includes our pets) will be with him singing in heaven! (Rev 5:13).

How do you believe?

You believe by faith. “Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see.” (Heb. 11:1) You have to believe first and understanding will follow.

“Ask and it will be given to you, seek, and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asks receives, and he that seeks, will find and to him that knocks, it will be opened”. (Matt 7: 7-8) All you have to do is invite Jesus to be your friend and to come into your life……and He will.

He will be a loyal and trustworthy friend forever and ever throughout eternity!!!

He loves you unconditionally and wants to be your best friend!

If you have been experiencing difficult and challenging close connections around your home or work, this card signifies a change, you will be ending a cycle that has long served its purpose and no longer serves you. If you are in a longdistance relationship, you will be making important decisions about moving the relationship forward and looking at ways to keep the connection strong.

VIRGO - Ten of Cups

Long term relationships, marriage and soul mate connections are very strongly reflected in the happy ten of cups, family become your strength and joy. If you are having a challenging time with family, seek some wise counsel and advice to heal some old wounds that’s putting pressure on your relationship Virgo. Bridges can only be built on a strong foundation off love.

San Antonio

In the 14th century, the church of Sant Antoni was built, and the city began to emerge around it. With the threat of privateers and pirates, in the 16th century fortification of the churches took place. To ensure its strategic position many watchtowers were erected along the coastline in the 17th century. Surrounded by impressive cliffs, the fortress of Towers d´en Lluc rises. The relics of which can be found to this day. In Santa Agnès there is an underground chapel, very well preserved, built inside a cave.

Welcome To San Antonio  A little history …

While many come here to revel in the party atmosphere, the origin of Sant Antoni de Portmany can be traced back to prehistoric times with artefacts such as early cave paintings and bronze axes being found in the area. The Romans gave it the name Portus Magnus, and the Arabs called it Portumany, then the small fishing village was then forged as an urban centre after the reconquest of King Juame I.

boasts the world famous sunset strip, and no holiday to Ibiza is complete without taking in that very special atmosphere.

The town has plenty to suit all tastes. The aquarium is open to the public. It plays an important role in nurturing marine animals back to health and releasing them back into the seas.

San Antonio Bay Welcome To The Bay

Most tourists will have booked it as San Antonio Bay, most locals call it Cala de Bou, and its official name is Bahia de Portmany, so let’s just settle on The Bay, an area as diverse as its many names.

The ‘Bay’ suggested in the name is actually just the Southern half of the entire San Antonio bay. It was given the addition descriptor by travel agents as a way of distinguishing it from the main San Antonio town, which was felt important in reflecting its hotels’ more family orientated offerings.

To confuse matters further ‘The Bay’ that is really half of the bay, is itself comprised of several smaller bays that line its coast from Port Des Torrent at its most Westerly point, all the way to Pinet Playa, the last substantial beach to the East. The coast between the series of beaches is of rugged rocks, as in the feature photo above at Punta de ses Fontanelles.

Most of the hotels, bars and restaurants line Carrer

des Calo and Carrer Cala de Bou, known locally as the lower bay road, and these are complimented by a good selection of restaurants dotted along the shore on the various beaches.

The Bay is in the midst of a major period of redevelopment. Over recent years and still ongoing, many of its midmarket hotel and apartment complexes have received multimillion euro upgrades, many emerging as 4 and 5 star luxury accommodation, reflecting a general change happening throughout Ibiza.

The result is a melting pot of styles and services, from simple low cost cafés and bars to an ever increasing number of chic cocktail bars and eateries, from the most basic family budget apartments to the very top tariffs of Ibiza’s 5 star elite. Though the changes are coming thick and fast, Cala de Bou has a strong sense of community among its local population, with a high proportion of native British and Irish year-round residents and workers.

Ibiza Town Welcome to Ibiza Town & Friends Ibiza Town, Marina Botafoch, Talamanca, Playa d’en Bossa & Figueretes. All are very different in character and content. Ibiza Town, the island capital, has its own special bohemian chic with a touch of freak. The D’alt Vila is home to some of Ibiza’s greatest cultural and historic gems. Marina Botafoch oozes new money, and even if you haven’t got it, some enjoy just being around it. Figueretes is a ’real’ neighbourhood mixed with Tourism, and in our opinion it mixes well. And Playa d’en Bossa is Ibiza’s resort to have undergone most development and change in recent years, and home to the new names at the top of the Superclub league.

However there is some good sense to us grouping such odd bedfellows. They all connect in an unbroken urban area and so movement between the areas is easy and regular. Aside from the mid August meltdown, a walk from one end to the other is not great exertion. We love the Ibiza Town strip for exactly this reason. It gives you the choice of so many different facets of Ibiza, at most a few euros in a taxi away.

Island of Bes Ibiza derives its name from the god, Bes, brought along with the first Phoenician settlers in 654 BC. Bes was said to drive off all evil, and amazed at the lack of any sort of venomous creatures on the island, the Phoenicians thought it to be the island of Bes. The name was then developed by the Romans as Ebusus, from which the modern Eivissa (Catalan) and Ibiza (Castellano Spanish) derive.

Since he drove off evil, Bes also came to symbolize the good things in life – music, dance, and sexual pleasure.

So that all seems to have worked out pretty well really.

They have a fantastic range of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and dairy free options on the menu too. Tapas gets very busy, especially in high season, definitely best to book.

Mambo, Sunset Strip

The Sunset A San Antonio sunset must be on the ‘must do’ list of most tourists coming to Ibiza. If it isn’t on yours, add it now.

The sunset strip is the world famous home to the setting sun like no other. Home to Café Mambo and its adjacent siblings Savannah, Mint and Fresh among others, settling back with a view of the setting sun, Mojito in hand, as the DJ plays some Balearic beats is hard to beat. Just remember to put your phone down long enough to experience it yourself.

Of course things are a little more pricey there than elsewhere, that is to be expected, but factor in that the strip hosts some of the world’s biggest DJs playing pre-party sets 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.

David’s Pizzeria (#14 on the map) 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. But if pizza’s not your thing, they also have a selection of pastas, salads, fish and meat dishes to tempt you. David’s also offer a takeaway service and a menu del dia for 12.50€, available till 8.30pm .

Tulp Beach Café, Beach Promenade Tulp Beach Café is located right on San Antonio’s beachfront Promenade. An oasis of bohemian chic laid back cool, it is our default choice for daytime calm, and a regular one for night time fun too. Tulp offer an extensive drink and cocktail selection, and a menu to suit every appetite from a tasty tapas to Dutch and international meals and to cap it all they have spectacular sunset views. See front page advert for details.

La Cantina Portmany, Fountains Square La Cantina is a bar and restaurant right on San Antonio’s fountains square. They have undertaken a total restoration over the winter months. 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.

Savannah, Sunset Strip

with no entrance fee, and the price starts to sound a whole lot more reasonable.

It is not just the strip that affords the sunset experience. Bars such as Tulp on the s’Arenal beach are also a great location, and for a truly magical experience a boat charter at sunset is very special, with all the boats coming together just of the strip to soak up the atmosphere from your own superstar for a day cruiser.

As with its sister Mambo along the strip, it is difficult to know whether to put Savannah in food or drink or entertainment— both are winners in our book.

On the food front we consider their Lobster, washed down with a few cocktails for sunset, one of the finest moments you can enjoy in Ibiza. But we plumped for entertainment as Savannah have a great line up of local legend DJs in their backroom this year. Offering a far more informal and intimate alternative to the super-clubs, it’s a worthy choice for your late night dancing needs.

Capitulo Dos, Homemade Italian Ice Cream With 31 flavours of traditional Italian ice cream homemade on the premises, there is literally something for everyone. Vegan and gluten free options are also available and this parlour is set in the quieter San Antonio church square, a great place to relax. So the only question is, which flavour do you choose?

Open daily from 12 noon to 9pm.

Villa Mercedes, Restaurant & Terrace In an amazing location on the port, Villa Mercedes delivers stunning views, incredible food and impeccable service. Everybody should have at least one special meal on their holiday, and Villa Mercedes is the perfect choice for a little luxury in your life.

The Corner Shop, British Supermarket The corner shop is located just off the West End and despite it’s small appearance it is packed to the rafters with all your favourite, and missed British goodies. From hot sausage rolls and pies, ‘proper’ English bacon and frozen goods, you can get a taste of home here in Ibiza.

San Antonio Bay More Great Food (Continued from page 19)

Food & Drink  Please support those who support us.

Little India, Authentic Sri Lankan & Indian Restaurant The restaurant that puts the Bom in the Bay, Chef Vipula puts his Sri Lankan heritage into every delicious dal, beautiful biriyani and majestic madras that leaves his kitchen. Unsurprisingly, it can get busy in the summer months, so if planning ahead a booking on their website is a good idea. If exhausted by a hard day on the beach, a take-away service is available to be enjoyed back in the hotel – expect neighbour-envy as those glorious smells waft across the balcony.

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 as often as we’d like, but you’re on holiday, so indulge yourself.

Double British sausage and bacon, double egg, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, 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.

2019 brings a great new addition to the Bay culinary selection as Relish bring a range of Tapas to their menu, global flavours from Africa, Asia, Europe and America, but served in the traditional Tapas style of small plates perfect for sharing.

Relish pride themselves on a simple philosophy - good food, cooked well, fairly priced. Booking with immediate confirmation is available on the website.

You’ll also find great food in Donnegans Irish Pub, Playa Bella and Kumharas

Entertainment Urban Lounge Ibiza Urban opens at 10.30am, closes at 5am. On arrival you’ve got the choice of the chill-out lounge area, sunbeds, daybeds and clamshells, or regular tables for food and settling in for a session, or high tables for those on a mission, plus an indoor club area for some late night revelry. Should you arrive early doors you’ll be wanting some breakfast. Our top picks, Sirloin Steak, Eggs, Hash browns and Toast (you are on holiday after all), or for those looking for something lighter, Avocado and Red Onion on Toast. The full menu range is epic, so much choice but everybody raves about the Chicken or Shrimp Fajitas. The late night plancha fires up to fill your needs through to the early hours. One thing we particularly love about Urban is the drinks range. For those on a budget there are some great offers to get the party started. And for the connoisseurs among us Urban have an excellent premium Gin range. One stand-out offer, 2 cocktail jugs and a shisha pipe for 30€. Superb value. https://www.facebook.com/pg/ UrbanLoungeIbiza

through to 5am. It’s all about the party, and the music is just that. New this year, because you’re worth it, Bucanero will be flipping proper homemade beefburgers through the night too. The tipsy have never had it so good. It might be possible not to enjoy yourself in Bucanero, but we’ve never seen it done.

Playa Bella Cabaret Terrace Fancy some good old family cabaret? The Playa Bella apartments kick off with nightly cash Bingo followed by 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.

Getting Around Walking & Cycling.

Aside from the inevitable diversions into its many bars and cafés, the length of the Bay’s main tourist street can be covered on foot in a brisk half hour.

It is possible to walk the coastline, though there are areas of rocks and uneven ground to cover between the coves and beaches. There are several shops renting cycles along the bay.

Donnegans Irish Pub

Water Taxis

It is hard to know what category to list Donnegans, as they do many things, and do them all very well. Day and night it is a bar with a welcome as warm as the draught Guinness and Magners are cold. They show all sports including hurling, and have a great menu of reasonably 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.

A very pleasant way to get to San Antonio town is to use one of the water taxis that cross the bay at half hourly intervals day and into the evening, and in high season into the night.

The water taxis have several departure points along the bay—see our map.

Bucanero The bar that sunk a thousand shots is back with a bang.

Ross and the gang will be sating your every desire, and probably a few you never knew you had, all the way

Helpful Hints There are two pharmacies in the Bay—shown by the white cross on a green circle on our map. Pharmacies and other non -tourist businesses open mornings 9 to 1 or 2pm, and again in the afternoon 5-8pm.

There are many, many, seemingly a ridiculous amount, of cashpoint machines in the Bay. Note that you will get far better rates and incur lower fees by using the cash machines attached to or operated by actual banks.
