  • Bad weather fills Ibiza's marina and port but tourists but not with shoppers
    A bad weather forecast for Thursday resulted in more tourists than usual visiting the Marina district in Ibiza’s capital. However, this did not result in an increase in sales as would usually be expected in such circumstances. Omar Ramis of the well-known Porto Salé restaurant told Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera that «there are more people around, but they only buy souvenirs». «They eat less», he said, «but this is the new reality we are seeing this season. People are spending less than in previous years. Although there is more activity at night, during the day there is nothing going on. Today [Thursday] is different because it is cloudy and rain is forecast». Even so, several shops in the area have reported a significant increase in sales, since, according to one employee, tourists «get active and come out when it rains».

    Ibiza sigue demostrando por qué es la meca de la música electrónica con eventos como Pikes Presents…, la serie de fiestas de día que esta temporada ha tomado los jardines de 528 Ibiza para ofrecer algo diferente: un viaje sonoro sin reglas, al aire libre, en un entorno natural que rezuma autenticidad balear. El pasado martes, el evento ofreció uno de sus platos fuertes con un B2B explosivo entre Dan Shake y Demi Riquísimo, dos nombres imprescindibles en la escena underground internacional. Junto a ellos, Gina Breeze completó un cartel redondo que demostró por qué esta fiesta se ha convertido ya en un secreto a voces entre los verdaderos amantes del groove. El formato de Pikes Presents… no es el típico de Ibiza. Aquí, no hay cabinas llenas de flashes ni sets predecibles. Lo que hay es libertad artística total para los DJs, algo que escasea en los grandes escenarios donde el guion manda. En 528 Ibiza, los artistas pinchan lo que sienten en cada momento, y eso se nota en cada mezcla, cada selecció
  • Últimas semanas para disfrutar de las cerezas
    Esta semana todavía se ven cerezas en los puestos del Mercat Nou, aunque las cosechadas en Ibiza cuesta encontrar. Ya llevan alrededor de un mes en los puestos y siguen siendo uno de los productos más vistosos del mercado. De color intenso y sabor dulce, es una de esas frutas que anuncia el verano y que muchos consumidores esperan con ganas. Aunque la temporada sigue activa, las cerezas locales ya se están terminado. En Ibiza se cultivan algunas cerezas en fincas pequeñas, sobre todo en zonas del interior como Santa Agnès o Pla de Corona, donde el clima favorece su desarrollo. No es uno de los cultivos más extendidos de la isla, pero cada año hay productores que logran sacar pequeñas partidas que se venden muy bien en cuanto llegan. Este año, según comentan algunos vendedores del mercado, la cosecha local fue breve y ya apenas quedan existencias. Actualmente, las cerezas que se pueden comprar en los puestos vienen de zonas productoras de la Península como Aragón o Extremadura, donde la campaña cont
