DJ Diplo makes a mess at the es Vedrà viewpoint with hundreds of people

Same story everywhere now sadly. Having seen firsthand the degradation of historic BCN over the last 10 years I think the most instagrammable spots need to be sealed off by gates or fencing with permit access only.
 
I'm part of problem, certainly not the rubbish/drone/purposely destroying nature but being there, but I proposed to my wife on the cliff somehwere 13 years ago in May. There were 2/3 cars, we had 100+ yards between us. Basically we were alone on cliff.

I've been back recently, 100's there and people punting cocktails (hypocritically I bought one) can't understand the massive influx. Social media maybe?

I have photos from my partner at the time and I in 2002 in the viewpoint in the middle of July !I They were for 4,5 persons max ! Time has changed!

The same things happen in Barcelona a few years back , ( the bunker view point )
I think that it’s a good thing that they choose to close to the mass , they are many other way to see es vedra but on his own or with a few others people!
We already see enough people in clubs during the night no ? 😅

We used to live on Calderon de la Barca on the walk up there. A neverending stream of expats, tourists or students going up there for a drink or spliff. Occasionally the cops turned up but they didn’t do anything. Now live 5 blocks from Sagrada Familia and the masificación is a joke. The same story everywhere, sadly

Piden ayuda para los vendedores ilegales de mojitos de la puesta de sol de es Vedrà tras el cierre de los accesos

There’s an apt Spanish term for this:

Una tomadura de pelo

(a piss take)

Well you came there for a reason, maybe other people did too :D

With the view of the pirate tower in front of Es Vedra prominently featured in the Baedeker Ibiza guidebook I bought for my very first trip, I never understood why there were so few people there in earlier years :)

The owners of the land must be filthy rich to close access instead of installing a ticket booth.
