Old Ibiza, 8mm cine film from the 1960's

[McRackin]

Amateur 8mm film taken in the 1960's of Old Ibiza. A well shot home movie with views of the old town before it was the popular tourist destination it has become. The footage includes shots of fiat 500 cars and lots of local characters including the artists and hippies.

The footage includes shots of fiat 500 cars ...

Actually this are SEAT 600. And as the one driving into Dalt Vila is a Descapotable, the movie must have been filmed later than 1963.

I also spotted a Hummer 5 minutes in.

Smokers at the back

Indeed. When I was a nipper my parents made sure I say alone in the front while they joined the smokers in the rear. Still came out coughing and spluttering with red eyes! Should have been allowed to open a window.....
