Until the sixties, Ibiza belonged to the Ibizans, and only a few
artists, poets and writers lived in this paradise. Then the
flower-children arrived, the hippies and drop-outs. In the last
30 years however, mass tourism has taken over and unfortunately
destroyed much of the charm of Ibiza and Formentera. But not
everything on the islands has been spoiled. 'Bed and burgerbar'
building has reached saturation point, and a visit to the pine
islands' (the 'Pityussae', as the Greeks called them) is still
worthwhile today. There's an unending wealth of hidden beauty
spots to be discovered, and this new edition of the book helps
you to find the best of Ibiza and Formentera, whether you travel
by car, bicycle, or on foot. |
