This time of year we are guaranteed some amazing sunsets, and this Saturday the 15th of October we have an amazing party to go with it. Ibiza’s own George Evelyn, aka Nightmares on Wax, will be giving a final salute to the Sun at the Mambo closing party. Les Nuits? It has to be, doesn’t it?
And Breathe …. Much of the resident community will be breathing a collective sigh of relief as the season draws to its end and Island life returns to one of empty beaches, easy parking and time to meet friends unseen since May. In this week’s edition we have our resident readers in mind with a food and drink section that will have you salivating at the wonderful winter’s gastronomic delights at a whole host of our favourite eateries. If your idea of a perfect day off doesn’t take you beyond your own front door we have a range of Native Chef recipes to try out yourself—including make your own
Hierbas. A worthwhile project if ever there was one. It is not all about food and drink though, there is plenty to do in the close season. This weekend Ibiza hosts its 31st annual motorsport event, the Pujada A Sa Cala in San Juan. Moviegoers are spoilt for choice with three films playing in the original English soundtrack in Santa Eulalia and San Antonio. Culture vultures will be pleased to see yet another arts festival as Ibiza Light Festival comes to the capital. On the evenings of Friday October 14 and Saturday 15, the
2-day outdoor event takes place in the port and marina and will see many emblematic places in the area transformed through lighting, video, sound, dance and theatre performances. But we must not forget that the summer is not over yet. With BA, Ryanair and Jet2 extending their holiday flights to the end of the month there are still plenty of tourists among us, some of whom may be rather surprised at how ’closed’ Ibiza already feels. Let us all try to be good hosts to the remaining tourists, there is after all plenty to do, they just have to live like the locals.
