A Night in San Jose

i stepped out with my wife last thursday for a night on the town, well, the village to be exact, as we hit the path to central san jose.
first stop was es galliner, as traditional ibicenco as it gets both in decor and cuisine but with a modern twist. we had a couple of beers and four glasses of wine to accompany a leisurely dinner of warm goats cheese salad, and tapas of curried chicken, octopus fry up, sausages and onions and meatballs in tomato sauce. earlier we'd been given bread, mushroom pate, olives and roast maize to snack on. they gave us whiskey chupitos as i paid the €33 bill.
next we hit raco verd where as usual there was a jazz band on playing to a packed out garden. this trio played classic r'n'b numbers with a wes montgomery style guitar sound driven by a guy wearing crushed velvet flares! well worth the €3.50 we paid for a beer and a tonic.
we then popped round to sit in the garden of can bernat - it's nice to sit and watch everybody chatting in el destino as they dine - and we had a couple of large whiskeys and a cuba libre for only €8!

i just thought i'd post this as an example of how inexpensive ibiza really is as we spent a really enjoyable 4 hours out for less than €45 and came home happy and full.

Good stuff, Stephen. I wanted to spend an evening in San Jose this past trip but hadn't researched where to go when the idea came up.
 
raco verd has jazz etc every thursday and saturday and an international audience. san jose unlike every other village in ibiza is closed on sunday. i can't understand why there is tumbleweed blowing down the streets of deadwood gulch when places like san rafael and santa gertrudis are rammed!

Miniature Gardens.
The Raco Verde Bar in Sant Josep is exhibiting various plant pots of all sizes & shapes filled with excitingly beautiful miniature gardens. Using plants from the island as well from many other parts of the world, the artist & plant lover Robert Barvier has created this fantastically interesting exhibition of mini gardens.

i went along to see him play a brilliant 3 hour set. starting alone he played classical spanish guitar on recuerdos de la alhambra and others and was then joined on synth by his nephew for his trademark jazzy flamenco chill sounds. the bar was packed by the end of the night despite the rival attractions of flower power in san an and everybody seemed to have a great time judging by the rapturous applause at the end of the evening.
