Reader's letter to the ibizasun
Just a Quickie….
Well it"s August, so despite having lots to moan about (Lidl aside, they now turn their lights off at midnight, success!) I"m going to try to keep it brief.
I"ve been horrified to see more than one Ibiza publication, including the original free glossy doorstop from that "big" nightclub over there - doing articles on "Ibiza"s hidden gems" ....NOOO!
Their whole charm is that nobody knows about them, you fools! Ok, so Atlantis has become better known in the last few years, but it"s sheer inaccessibility has kept many of the littering hordes away.
Next they go on to recommend Cala D"Albarca, which is about half as accessible as Atlantis, with room for roughly two people to lie down. Realistically, do tourists want this amount of difficulty in their lives? Most upsetting is the mention of
our local Punta Galera, the only place I can currently
take my dogs for a swim in peace in August. Saying that, the dogs have developed a neat trick of jumping in the water, climbing back out and then shaking over the nearest naked Italian, unloading several litres of hairy water and normally sending the offended person on his grumbling way...
So, fat cat magazines and our own weekly wonder the Sun.... There must be better things to write about?
Please.... keep quiet about the hidden gems, and
leave them for us.
