5 weeks in Santa Eulalia

[pihlblad]

I just wanted to tell you all that we had a fantastic holiday in Santa Eulalia. We stayed at Siesta Mar for 5 weeks in June/July and had a fantastic day every day there.

Santa Eulalia is a very nice, clean and friendly city. And when we wanted some more fun and action we just took the bus to Ibiza town. And if you have kids and still want to have some adult fun club experience you could go to Borra Bora and enjoy it with your children.

And believe it or not 5 weeks was not enough. Still so many things we wanted to do but didnt have time to.

I put som pictures together in my blog.

Enjoy

Santa Eularia a city pull the other one.

To be honest, why anyone would want too stay their for five wks is beyond me, i found that when i visited the town last september, one day was enough. Before that, i last visited Santa Eularia in 1986 when it was just a small town with lot's of character, however i got the impression during my last visit, it's just building site. For me, i'd say that the developer's have destroyed/taken away the original character of the place as everywhere one look's there are new hotel's & appartement's being built. Infact i found the place rather clostraphobic, too say the least.

Haha, well I can understand you but I never go for short holidays, acually I was 8 years in Maldives without any problem, there you could walk around the Island in 20 minutes

So everything is relative.

But I was not on vacation there, I worked as a diving teacher in the Maldives so I had things to do but I learned to enjoy life in a slow pace.

After that I find it hard to stay shorter than 2 weeks in a place on my holidays.

I have to ask you since english is not my native language, is there a difference between the words town and city?

You refer to Santa Eulalia as town not city, I never though about if there is a difference. If I translate town or city to spanish i get ciudad, and to swedish stad, same word???

Im confused.

i'm afraid english can be a difficult language to master, as blindmanskunk proves every post with his terrible punctuation and spelling.
the difference in english in modern times between a town and a city is that a city is usually much bigger and more sophisticated. in old times city status was usually only granted to places with a cathedral, though this has now changed.
i think our two posters are seeing santa eulalia from different angles, one as it is, and one as it was, and we have an old saying in english, 'nostalgia isn't what it used to be.'

That's why i call myself the blindmanskunk

Seriously though as for my very bad spelling & punctuation , that's probably because i'm not english but originally from Belgium, Tournai. I never studied english @ school preferring german instead along with flemish, my wife is english & my grown up children speak/write perfect english but then i'd expect them too, so i guess i'm the hopeless one in the family . Still!!! Atleast i'm not alone as i've noticed that even native english speakers who write into Ibiza Spotlight don't know the proper english grammer .

As for my thoughts on Santa Eularia, i just felt that the town had become too big & overdeveloped from the old town, the new part's of Santa Eularia (heading northwards from where all the expensive yachts are kept) just reminded me of timeshare developements etc, of which i know is not the case, is it???

Hi,

Seeing that you were in the Seista area last summer do you know whether Tony is still running his bar/restaurant in the parade of shops opposite Sirenis Hotel Club Siesta?

Many thanks
