Hi mate, please don't use 'retards' like that. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
Ibiza right now.

He prefers idiots as retards is apparently a slur for people with mental handicaps.
Personally I don't equate retard with people with mental handicaps, just lazy people who don't educate themselves. But then again I don't personally have close family who suffer from mental handicaps (well besides me been slightly on the spectrum ?)
Think we all should be mindful of what we say could be taken by others ?
You are right . Didnt know it. Sometimes it
was used here too
Sorry , didnt know the exact translation
I see fco advice has just changed for mainland Spain and 14 quarantine imposed for all of spain
Coronavirus: Germany may introduce compulsory tests – as it happened
Johnny Depp’s in-person court case ‘galling’; Germany may introduce compulsory testing; funeral fees rise in Great Britainwww.theguardian.com
so we have to do self isolate for 14 days when we get back? Great!

Thats FCO advice, 14 day quarantine is different and applies to ALL of Spain...including Ibiza
What Covid tests do I still need to travel abroad?
From Friday, fully vaccinated people travelling to the UK no longer have to take any Covid tests.

Coronavirus: UK brings back 14-day quarantine for Spain

Look at the 3rd paragraph in the summary
Spain travel advice
Latest FCDO travel advice for Spain including on entry requirements, safety and security and local laws and customs.
The FCO is not advising those already travelling in Spain to leave at this time. Travellers should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect themselves and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus. If you are returning from Spain (including from the Balearics and Canaries) on or after 26 July you will be required to quarantine on your return to the UK, but the FCO is not advising you to cut short your visit. You should contact your tour operator or airline if you have any questions about your return journey.

‘Retards” replaced with ‘mental handicap’ ? Where so I start?

Returned this Friday from a week Ibiza.
I will post a longer review soon but I'll tell you this...even without clubs and events...Ibiza is still Ibiza and I enjoyed it a lot.
People that are thinking about cancelling because of closed clubs or facemasks: don't! Just go and experience the island in another way.
I already knew this from a winter trip last year...but there's so much more to this island than partying.

Saturday night, I'm home alone...start watching loads of vlogs on youtube, people that are on the island, been on the island, talking about the state of play at the moment etc. I see things are looking ok, that a good time can still be had etc....in my mind, I'm like 'ok that does it, 100% coming over in September'. I turn on the news at 10pm, first item up, Spain 14-day quarantine on return!
Right back to square 1....shall we/shant we...I guess it is back to wait and see...probably be different tomorrow!

Thats it
I remember , I spoke with bar owners who lived in Ibz. A german told me , he is going to clubs max 3 times a year ( the german guy beside coolture cafe , comic , anyone remember ?). And many other expats doing the same who live there. First time they did clubbing often , then it went more less.
They are not in ibiza because the clubs , they are in ibiza because its ibiza he told me.
It comes back and it will be as in earlier days.

Exactly this. Been on the island since last Tuesday and although it is different this year, I enjoyed it very much. I miss the clubs but Ibiza has so much more to offer!
I can recommend it to everyone, even now. Maybe I'll write more about my experiences later. But for now, I'm going to enjoy my last days here!

We arrived Friday and we are having a fabulous time, our phones lit up Saturday evening as you can imagine but it doesn’t bother us at all.
A few observations so far,
Give yourself more time at the airport, there are heavy queues
Definitely get your bar code before you arrive, I would say 90% of our flight ( which was full ) had not got it. Whilst they were held back until completion we breezed through
We are finding the restaurants and bars very busy ( San An ), you will need a reservation, they are turning people away
The beaches are extremely clean and they are spraying the walkways. The water is a beautiful blue colour and warm
There are Villa parties ...
We are finding the mask law very easy to comply with, just use the cheap thin ones as it’s to hot for the cloth ones
It’s nice not seeing the dark side of the island in your face, those women who scam the newbies for a bracelet in San An for an example are not here
There are a lot of police checks, my friend runs a chauffeur business and was stopped 3 times Saturday and avoided a lot more. However I am finding their presence on the ground very inconspicuous
It’s very very hot ...
