| Ibiza old town |
My first visit to Ibiza was
probably before 1970. In those days the
island was a lot less ‘touristy’ and less well known than Mallorca ,
which by the end of the sixties was already established as a holiday
hotspot. This was evident the moment we
arrived as I remember the old airport terminal was little more than a long
white single-storey building with palm trees planted along the front. Wandering down the car-less lane towards the
beach we passed the white mountains of sea salt waiting to be transported and
were able to collect handfuls of the rough crystals – no fences keeping
children out! The whole island seemed
very laid back and relaxed, a far cry from the 18-30’s party island image for
which it became known a couple of decades later.
