from solo records' website:

Solo Records Ibiza Move Location
Solo Records : The Ibiza Record Shop has moved location. After 4 years of trading in C / San Antonio 17 the Local Vinyl - Cd & Merchandise store has moved to the Center of San Antonios West End still in the same Street straight infront of May shopping Center and at the bottom of the hill from Hush Bar.
Solo will still be selling Vinyl but also a larger amount of Ibiza cds and Club Merchandise due to the larger floor space they have. So if your in Ibiza this summer stick your head in for a look.
C / San Antonio 10c, San Antonio, 07820, Ibiza. shop@solorecordsibiza.com http://www.solorecordsibiza.com

from mixmag's website:

Mike and Claire Manumission launch new risque restaurant
I tell you what Ibiza is missing. A restaurant with PVC clad waitresses. Wait, hang on...no, it's OK, it now has one.
Mike and Claire, from notorious Ibizan club night, Manumission, will this summer be launching, in their words, a; "A risque Manumissionesque Cabaret of cutting edge performance art to be enjoyed whilst dining at the terraced restaurant under the stars, carved into the hills of San Jose. Simple Mediterranean cuisine served by P.V.C clad beauties."
If you're not feeling hungry the venue also has; "A daring night club lavishly decorated and created for dressing up and letting your hair down..."
Manumission's Wild Child will be at Cova Santa this summer. Check it out at www.covasanta.com

matutes keeps getting rid of his oldest hotels in ibiza, funnily enough most of them bought by ferré, and constructing new ones in the caribbean/sicily/etc.

apparently matutes (fiesta hotels group) has all his remaining hotels for sale..... even the palladium palace, the nicest one, next to the aborted-for-now golf course project in playa den bossa ​

no need to be very clever to think that the oldest/cheapest ones will be bought by the polemic ferré (grupo playa sol) who will give them a facelift, with the help of the illegal immigrants he employs to work for almost nothing, and turn them into very basic/cheap 2 star hotels..... no wonder the rest of hoteliers hate ferré so much. and no need to be very clever to think that matutes will bugger off to the caribbean islands with all the money and continue investing there..... it will be interesting to see if he gets rid of space too. the fact that abel's health is not very good, that he doesnt get along with some of his family (including, apparently, his brother antonio with who he has done one of the biggest fortunes in spain) and that ibicencos, including those who voted PP all their lives, cant stand him anymore might have something to do with this decission.....​
