THE SHOW MUST GO ON! IBIZA 2020 I’d like to start this post by recalling a famous phrase of J.R.R. Tolkien’s: “[You] can only come to morning through the shadows.” [1]Highly appropriate for the circumstances we’re all going through at present. In recent days I’ve been wondering just how the human urge to travel arose, and whether we can do without it for any length of time. Surfing the net I came across the following article, which I’d strongly recommended, about the ‘Motivation and Needs’ of tourism, written by Marinus Gisolf (2011) and posted at the following link This article...

LOVE IS IN THE AIR The feast of St Valentine on February 14 is of Christian origin, and was originally celebrated to commemorate the good deeds of St Valentine of Rome.

During the pagan era a fertility festival called Lupercalia was celebrated in Ancient Rome during which women were whipped with the hides of... Read More

  While Ibiza’s modest size might lead many to imagine it doesn’t produce its own wine, the truth is that local wines of character and body can be encountered which add a final touch to the Ibiza experience, bringing visitors closer to its roots and traditions. The winemaking tradition on Ibiza, like everywhere else in the Mediterranean, dates back to the remote past, bearing witness to the historical imprint left by earlier cultures such as the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans. For much of its history vines were grown for consumption within the household, a tradition transmitted from parents to... Read More
