The Best and Worst of Ibiza...

Back in the continent, here's my opinion of my stay in Ibiza, this original island, so full of contrasts...

The Best...

1. The Sea, specially that of Formentera: turquoise-blue, transparent... beautiful.

2. The countryside. The surroundings of San Mateu, San Gertrudis, the north. A dream come true, with those estates of the 18th Century, typical buldings with stone walls which, luckily, still remain intact.

3. The sandals at Pedro's. Made of leather, with straps around the ankles, super chic.

4. Vicente Ganesha's shop. I liked everything he had: caftans, beach wraps, echarpes. Just the right look for Ibiza. And he is charming.

5. Eggplants with parmesan cheese, from the restaurant "Las Dos Lunas," and its ambient music. Both excellent.

6. Sunsets from Punta Galera. Breathtaking.

The Worst...

1. The way the city of Eivissa, and specially Sant Antoni, were urbanized... A tasteless disaster, with lack of harmony and aesthetic. A pity.

2. The charters which arrive on Fridays from the north of Europe bringing plenty of teens to the Discos. They stay sleepless till Sunday... and then, off they go back home. What can I say?

3. The Discos. I love dancing and partying, but that huge amount of soulless discos definitely does not interest me. This, in spite of the many artists that perform in them (Jamiroquai, Seal, Moby).

4. The seaport of Marina Botafoch... Too modern in comparison to the feel of the island.

5. The Atzaró... way too many styles (hindi, thai, etc.) all together.

6. Lots of tourists, too many... But, well, it's August after all...
