Pacha Group Sold For 350€ million Equity Investment Group Trilantic are reported to have purchased the Pacha empire. Sale includes the Pacha, Destino and Lio clubs and the Pacha Hotel in Ibiza, all worldwide Pacha venues, and all merchandising businesses. Owner Ricardo Urgell talks publicly of his views on Ibiza, the sale and the future.

Talk of a potential Pacha sale was first noted in this office following a report by Ibiza based journalist Nick Clayton, several months before the rumours became widespread conjecture. Nick talked of a potential buyout by a then interested Chinese investment concern. As it has materialised the business is indeed to be passing into a private investment equity group. The company, Trilantic, are said to be buying the entire Pacha group. In the context of shareholder satisfaction it is unlikely the Pacha pie will be sliced up. Nick Clayton’s

report on the sale states that last year “Pacha announced that it had a turnover of €78 million, with €11 million in net profit. It expected that to grow by 8-10%. About two-thirds of its turnover comes from nightclubs and restau-rants, with most of the rest coming from hotels, with a rather smaller contribution from fashion and franchises. He goes on to say that Pacha also said last year that it planned to open 85 new establishments, including hotels and resorts, restaurants and nightclubs before 2025. Then, last week, The Sunday Times reported that the company would focus on opening 25 hotels and resorts in Britain, Spain, France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, China and Ja-pan. In a recent interview with the Diario de Ibiza, owner Ricardo Urgell appears ready to say farewell to the brand, "It hurts a lot to sell Pacha in such a sweet mo-ment," he said. "I feel like an honest person trying to do the best possi-ble," Urgell said legacy on the island. "We have to want more for the island, invest in it, appreciate it and love her, so that we're not only benefitting ourselves. People need to promote projects to improve Ibiza. It's important that the island does not lose the magic." "The island has spoiled areas that will be difficult to re-cover. “If we continue at this pace, it will eventually move to the north of the island. Music should be con-trolled (in its legal space).

Ibiza Drugs; "No Worse Than Mallorca or Ma-drid, But 20 Times More Ketamine" Can Misses deals with 6 cases of drug abuse per day. 60% of cases have tested for multiple drugs 20% of cases in Ibiza test positive for Ketamine

In a presentation by two of the Balearics most senior emer-gency services and toxicology staff, detailed information has

been released regarding the level and type of drug abuse cases being treated on the island. Attending was Jordi Puiguriguer, a toxicologist and Balearic president of the Spanish association of accident and emer-gency medicine (Semes). He was joined by María de los Ánge-les Leciñena, head of the Can Misses emergency department and also Pitiuses representative to Semes. Polydrug Use They revealed that more than 60% of those being treated for drug related issues at Can Misses emergency department had tested to show they had taken more than one substance. This polydrug usage was found to be far higher in Ibiza than other areas. Testing is being undertaken as part of a study by Mallorca’s hospital de Son Espases. Ketamine Ibiza also has a far higher level of Ketamine usage. Results from Ibiza found 20% of patients to have consumed Keta-mine, compared to just 1% in Mallorca. The most common drug identified was Ecstasy, identified in 90% of the 150 cases analysed. Drug abuse accounts for 3% of all cases dealt with at Ibiza’s Can Misses hospital. Chemical Submission Some of those included in the test were patients stating they had been drugged as a result of attempted rape or robbery. This ‘chemical submission’ is considered an increasingly com-mon problem. Both Puiguriguer and Leciñena stressed that though Ibiza’s drug abuse treatments were different in nature, overall the level of cases is not considerably greater than areas such as Mallorca, Barcelona, Bilbao and Madrid

In The UK Press In an unsurprising move the UK press overlooked the ma-

jority of the presentation by Puiguriguer and Leciñena, choosing to cover only one item; that of the confirmed use of so called designer drug ‘Flakka’ . This report by the Daily Star

Naked Ibiza Brit in 'violent' rampage had taken terrifying new designer drug A British tourist found naked and “extremely violent” in a popular tourist resort in Ibiza was high on a danger-ous new designer drug, according to doctors.

The Brit – who has not been identified – was pictured lying on the ground handcuffed in shocking scenes in the popular resort of San Antonio in September. He was arrested by police because of alleged aggressive behaviour and “violent attitude to people who crossed his path”. He was restrained in the area between Piscis Park hotel and a nearby bus station, and later taken to hospital in an ambu-lance. Police suspected he had taken legal high Flakka, which causes intense anger, panic attacks and paranoia. It’s a variant of the infamous synthetic substance "bath salts, and has been dubbed the “insanity drug” due to its effect on users. Users have had sex with trees and even believed they were the mythical god Thor in bizarre hallucinations. At its worst, it has been linked to several terrifying "zombie" crimes in which those under the influence have killed in a fit of rage.

Toxicology reports released this week showed the Brit had indeed taken the popular new drug. But head of toxicology, Jordi Puiguriguer said that it was an isolated case and rejected the idea that the notorious party island was becoming a hotbed for new experimental drugs. Doctors presenting a report on drug-taking in Ibiza this sum-mer refused to say how many cases had been reported to the police but confirmed the allegations of "chemical submis-sion" had been taken seriously . On the closing weekend of the Ibiza party season, six were treated in hospital. Half were Brits. Flakka has grown in popularity worldwide, particularly in Florida where it is sold cheaply on the streets

“We cannot have music everywhere.," he said when asked his opinion on the island's future. He also explained his distaste for party boats in the effort to preserve the island's natural elements.

No interview would be complete without asking about all of the recent inspections of the super clubs,

including Pacha.

Urgell confirmed that Pacha's finances were transparent and all in order. Talking of his future, he concluded that he has many ongoing projects, including the possibility of new hotels and a new venture in Cuba.

Second-Home Market gets a Spring Clean The Second-Home & Resort Industry Observatory (SHARIO) has signed a collaboration agreement with the Spanish Land and Business Registrars Association aimed at improving the transparency of a market that sustains an important industry for Spain.

Under the agreement, the Registrars Association will provide the Observatory with quarterly figures on home sales to for-eign buyers for expert analysis in market reports for the sec-ond-home & resort industry in Spain. A better understanding of foreign demand for property in Spain will help an industry that, despite its size and strategic importance to Spain, has never been organised or well understood. Foreign buyers invest billions of euro in Spanish property

each year, supporting an industry that provides hundreds of thousands of jobs, and has a big impact of Spain's image abroad. According to a recent study by the Provia developers’ association in Alicante province, the industry supports 200,000 jobs in the Valencian region alone. Foreign demand for property in Spain reached a record of 13.18% of the Spanish housing market in 2015, with close to 46,000 sales, according to data from the Registrars. Growing foreign demand between 2010 and 2014 helped to mitigate the Spanish real estate crisis, and foreign buyers have played a key role in Spain’s recent housing market recovery. “An industry so big and important to Spain needs better mar-ket information to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, like overestimating demand and building too much,” says Mark Stücklin, Director of SHARIO. “Good market analysis helps reduce risks, improve investment decisions, and in-crease the confidence of buyers and investors in Spain.” For more information contact Mark Stücklin [email protected]

About the Second-Home And Resort Industry Observatory (SHARIO) Launched in the Spring of 2016 with sponsorship from industry leaders, SHARIO is a think-tank and information hub for the Spanish second-home & resort industry com-mitted to raising professional standards and transparency in the business. SHARIO is sponsored by Iberdrola Inmobili-aria, Acciona Real Estate, Neinor Homes, Tinsa, KPMG & La Zagaleta.

About the Land and Business Regis-trars Association of Spain The Spanish Registrars Association is a Public Law Corpora-tion. All the Land and Business Registrars in Spain are members of it. These registrars are civil servants, attached to the Ministry of Justice, and legal professionals responsi-ble for monitoring the legality of documents authorized by notaries or issued by judges and administrative authori-

ties, in order to ensure that only completely valid documents can be registered. The purpose of the Land Registry is to provide legal security to legal transactions concerning property rights and publicity concerning ownership and charges of the property registered.

What’s Your Best Offer? Don’t know where to pitch your offer? Leading Spanish Property Portal Idealista have published statistics on the amount offered for property compared to its listed price.

Despite the fact that the property market is in a much more positive state at the moment, and the number of sales are going up, as are property prices in many areas, the reality of it is that prospective buyers are still asking sellers for sub-stantial discounts on the sale price of their homes. In many cases, these discounts are as much as 20% or even more depending on the autonomous region that the property is situated. Statistics have revealed that on average in the month of July, prospective buyers were offering approximately 20.9% off the purchase price fixed by the property owner. This figure is slightly less than the average discount wanted last year, when buyers were offering 21.6% less. Autonomous regions The biggest difference between the amount of money offered for a property and the price being asked for by the seller is found in the region of La Rioja. Here, those wanting to purchase a home are offering around 23.6% less than the sale price of the property. La Rioja is followed by Cantabria (-23.5%), Murcia (-22.7%) and the Valencia Region (-22.6%). Madrid, on the other hand, is the region in which the amount of money being offered and asked for is closest, with approx-

imately 16.5% lower than the asking price being offered by purchasers. Madrid is followed by Navarra and the Basque

Country, at 19.7%. Madrid is also the region where buyers have most reduced the amount of discount asked for off the sale price. This could be an indication of the fact that property prices are rising and the offer of property available is reduced. This is followed by Andalucía and Castilla-La Mancha. However, there are seven autonomous regions where pro-spective buyers are offering even less money (bigger dis-counts) than they were a year ago. The list is headed by Can-tabria and followed by Asturias, Galicia, and the Balearic Is-

lands. Large cities There is also a big difference in figures offered and asked for in Spain’s largest cities. In Cuenca, for example, buyers are only asking for a discount of 10.9%, while in the cases of Palma de Mallorca, Alicante and Jaén, the figure is more than 25%.

Fancy Your Very Own Balearic Island? Five Million & It’s Yours It is not often Island’s come up for sale, but if you have a spare 5,250,000 euros hanging around this could be just the job. It goes under the name of Colom Islet, has an area of 58 hectares of land, and is situated just 200 metres north off the coast of Menorca. In actual fact, the islet belongs to the municipality of Mahon, the capital of Menorca, and forms part of the natural park of s’Albufera des Grau. It is actually the larg-est of a small batch of islands that surround the larger island. The islet possesses just a handful of buildings that in-clude a 100 square metre main residence dating back to the 18thcentury. This has six bedrooms and a 30 square metre annexe that serves as a storehouse. There’s also a wooden cabin that can also be lived in as it contains two bedrooms, a kitchen, living room and bathroom. With regards to outside space there are two white sandy beaches, a boathouse to house vessels of up to 20 square metres, plus remains of the old miners’ house. And if you haven’t got five million no problem, thanks to our ‘what’s your best offer’ article left, you should be able to shave a cool million off the price. No need to thank us, just send cash ☺


Buying property is serious business ...

Buying property abroad comes with the additional challenges of an unfamiliar legal system and language barriers.

Buying property in Ibiza is more challenging still. Demand and val-ues are unique to the Island and the market will not necessarily re-flect general economic trends affecting Spain nationally.

A very serious business indeed, and one where the clever money will see the benefit of putting your financial interests in the hands of a specialist.

Bettina Lorenz of Balearic Mortgage Ser-vices knows the Ibizan property market better than most.

Here she gives the benefit of her 15 years experience in addressing some of the most important factors for anybody looking to buy property in Ibiza. Are Spanish banks currently willing to lend?

The Spanish banks are much more willing to lend now than they were during and immediately after the mortgage crisis. The Spanish mortgage market is actually very competitive., however the banks are still cautious about the non-resident clients they will lend to. Generally speaking, the client needs to have a deposit amount of minimum 30-40% of the pur-chase price of the Ibiza property for sale, plus must also have further funds to cover the taxes and expenses involved in the purchase – I usually advise to calculate between 12-14% to cover these expenses.

How easy is it to obtain a mortgage in Ibiza and what criteria must an applicant fulfil?

I would not say that it is particularly easy, especially if the client applies for a “no standard” mortgage, that could mean to buy a plot and construct their own house or to buy a prop-erty in name of a Spanish company. But I know which bank is helpful and willing to land for each purpose or requirement the client may have. Also the way that the application is pre-

sented is extremely important. I try to keep my client’s appli-cations as simple as possible so that I ensure a quick approval from the lender. The Spanish banks offer fixed rate mortgages and variable rate mortgages and the client has to decide with my help which is the best option for him. There are no interest only options available now, but as the interest rates are actually very low and the euribor about one year is in negative, the monthly payment is tolerable. Will Brexit affect mortgages in Spain?

Spanish Banks for many years have granted mortgages in Spain to most nationalities so tech-nically UK residents should not be affected by the leave vote. As the biggest buyers of second homes in Spain it is difficult to imagine a situation where Brits are barred from owning one or being able to apply for a mortgage in Spain. The non-resident Spanish mortgage market currently is such that, only countries on the Bank of Spain watch list , which includes those countries where due diligence on affordability and for money laundering cannot be undertaken, find it impossible to get a Spanish mortgage, and the UK will certainly not fall into this category despite the referendum result. Where things may change is on the level of risk willingness and flexibility the Banks in Spain may face mortgage applica-tions from a UK applicant. Spanish Banks may also look to increase pricing to reflect the higher risk they feel they are taking in granting a loan to someone living with so many unknown issues regarding to future laws and fiscal stability. I have spoken with the Spanish lenders and at present this is just speculation. The key impact on the terms and conditions for non EU residents is not getting 70% of the purchase price as a mortgage, and in consequence means that the banks look to keep loan to values at 65% or below for all new appli-cants who hold a UK passport. Although no Spanish bank at present have actually changed its terms and conditions as standard, they´re weighing up being more cautious at this point in time until the total situation on future legislation becomes clearer. Because the second key consideration for the Banks in Spain is that there is no clear view on what effect on the fiscal stability of the UK the vote will have. There is no way of knowing at this point whether the exit from Europe will have a long term positive or negative affect on the economy and if so to what level. Do you only organize mortgages on Ibiza?

I occasionally arrange mortgages on the mainland and in the other Balearic Islands; however Ibiza is my target market. I recently signed a collaboration with an international bank in order to offer a wider range to my international clients. How has the Ibiza mortgage market developed this year?

There has definitely been a positive evolution in the Ibiza mortgage market this year, both in the number of mortgage applications and also the amount that the clients are buying for. The real estate market is picking up in the Balearic Is-lands and in the first half of the year 4.679 home mortgages were signed, representing 25.2% more than in the same peri-od last year. According to data published by the INE, in June 2016 have been established 1.061 mortgages in the Islands, 48.6% more than the same month last year. This means that the Balearic Islands is the third community with the highest rate of in-crease, behind Castilla-La Mancha and Catalonia and well above the 15.5% increase recorded state average. What would you highlight most about working at BMS and what is your day-by-day?

As I am originally an utterly banker, now I really enjoy the privilege of working not only for one bank but for all the banks on the place and also international banks. This gives me much more satisfaction as I am really able to offer the best deal for my clients. Also to alternate the work in my home office with the visits of clients and spots is a big plus. A typical day will involve speaking with several lenders, possi-bly meeting up with clients as well. Although sometimes I will

not see the client until signing the mortgage because during the whole process we are in contact by email and over the phone. I normally spend about 2-3 hours speaking with the lenders and making public relations contacts with real estate agents which is very important for my job. For the other 4 to 5 hours working on emails and processing information received from clients. My work consists in finding out the personal situation of my clients first, then helping the banks to understand the appli-cation from my clients and after that finding out the best option for my clients as I know where best to place a client for the best result.

Buying Property in Ibiza

Time For Some Sums? Bettina’s initial consultation will tell you what your options are in the Ibizan property market.

“G enerally speaking, the client needs a mini-mum deposit of 30-40% of the purchase price. They will also need further funds to cover the

taxes and expenses involved in the purchase – an extra 12-14% will usually cover the additional costs.”

What about floor clause? As Reuters reported in April 2016 a Spanish court ruled that the country´s banks including leaders Banco Santander and Caixabank can no longer sell mortgages with so-called floor clauses. The court said banks had to repay customers what they had lost since May 2013, when Spain´s Supreme Court declared these mortgages, who’s rates cannot fall blow a benchmark, were invalid if they had not been presented clearly. As Bloomberg informed in July 2016 the Top EU court will rule the coming months on the Spanish mortgage case. Lend-ers including CaixaBank and Banco Popular have removed the limits in their mortgage contracts and have provisioned for legal risks linked to the possible elimination of the clauses. CaixaBank said in July it estimates it would have to provision an extra 750 million euros to cover for possible impacts if retroactivity is granted. It has already provisioned 515 million euros.

Moschino’s ‘Capsule’ Collection Moschino recently launched its spring/summer 2017 “Capsule” Collec-tion – a colourful take on the word capsule, with the line inspired by prescription drugs. On sale in upmarket department stores, it has drawn much criticism for making drugs look cool, funny and chic.

The Jeremy Scott-designed collection features mas-

sive

orange drug-bottle bags silver bags resem-bling giant blister packs, iPhone cases in the shape of pill bottles, T-shirts shouting, “Just say MoschiNO”, an orange drug-bottle minidress emblazoned with the words, “WARNING! Do not take medication on an empty stomach,” and, “KEEP ALL CAPSULES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN”. The invitation for last month’s fashion week show was a pill bottle and a handwritten “prescription”. Not cool. Doctors, addiction specialists and parents of overdose victims have spo-

ken publicly about their anger that the collection has been launched when the world is experiencing a crisis in opioid

addiction and deaths from over-dose. There are petitions to have the articles removed from public sale. Moschino and Scott both have a history of provocative brand-ing. Pills were a motif on Scott’s own autumn/winter line in 2011 and, this February, he showed a collection in-spired by cigarettes. Neither met huge controversy. Here, the line doesn’t refer-ence brand names or specific drugs – it’s just pills. Or, is it? Scott says in his defence: “It’s literally a collection of cap-sules!”

My advice? Just say No kids.

Welcome to weeks Zips It Up from the Balearics. This week I’ve been in Mallorca and Ibiza. October is such a nice time to venture down here. The weather is still warm and the flights are so much cheaper. Mallorca is as busy as ever, except for Magaluf, which was so quiet this week. I actually heard the waves gently lap-ping up against the shores of Magaluf beach. I bet very few of you will ever get to witness such a phenomenon. Unfortunately, it does tend to rain here in Oct, but what do we do when the weather lets us down? We go shopping, of course. Mallorca, being a larger island than its little sister Ibiza, has a

wider array of shopping op-tions that are perhaps more mainstream, in contrast Ibiza’s hippy markets and small inde-pendent designers. I ended up at a brand new mall called FAN Shopping Precinct, five minutes fro Palma airport. The place was heaving at 10am on a random Tuesday morning. And the busiest store in there? Primark. Before you flick the page, give

this place a break. I NEVER visit Pri-mark in the UK, but there was something special about this particular branch. Perhaps the warm tempera-

tures and swaying palm trees outside influenced me, plus the fact that it was brand spanking

new. And gigantic. I ended up buying a pair of sexy black satin pyjamas, black lace panties, a star print “Kate Moss’ shirt and a punk style pure wool star print sweater. Guess how much I spent? 40 euros. Yep. And that, ladies & gents is why Primark is spot on and corners that sector of the mar-ket. Affordability, quality and the fact that you can wear their basics for a few weeks, and give them to charity afterwards without any guilt whatsoever. It serves a brilliant purpose. But only in Mallor-ca. I’m not sure whether Ibiza will follow suit. Ibiza has a local government-imposed ban on large square meterage stores, so maybe Pri-mark Ibiza is out. Anyway, next stop is Ibiza

for me on my Oct travels. Onto this week’s blog and we check out the new Kenzo at H&M collection and London’s new naked only restaurant. Enjoy. Read Amanda’s fashion blog http://amandazipsitup.com/

London’s 1st Naked Restaurant Here’s a unique first date if you’re about to arrange one. Prepare to strip off! London's first naked restaurant, where diners eat completely in the buff, is set to return per-manently, as more than 46,000 people were on the waiting list to dine at what was billed as London's first-ever naked eating establishment this summer - but only a fraction actually got to try the experience during its then temporary opening. Welcome to BUNYADI. The restaurant, which offered a vegan or non-vegan £69 tasting menu, claimed to offer diners 'pure libera-tion' by eating food 'in its purest form' while it was open for three months between June and August. Divided into clothed and naked sections - where photography and the use of phones was strictly banned - bamboo walls divided the handful of tables to guard diners’ privacy. The naked theme extend-ed as far as the décor, as the clien-tele were only illuminated by can-dlelight. And the waiting staff were just as naked as the customers, with their genitals only covered by some

shrubbery. Wretching here… Diners are invited to undress in a changing room, where they are given slippers and a robe to keep. Guests are then asked to strip when they have reached their seats in a pri-vate booth, sitting on their robes. The 'naked' menu, which has been described as an 'afterthought' by some critics, has a focus on organic and vegan cuisine, featuring dishes such as sun-dried tom stuffed cour-gette flowers, cauliflower couscous and sea-weed flakes. I could only image how awkward the silence would be on a date as you both sit naked and dumb on tree trunks surrounded by bamboo. PLUS no phone to fiddle with? Give me Tinder any day of the week.

Kenzo/H&M Collection H&M announced back in May that Carol Lim and Hum-berto Leon from KENZO are the latest designers to collaborate with the high street giants and bring their work to the masses at affordable prices. The collection launches in store on November 3 2016, but here’s a sneak preview of the range, just in case nothing appeals and you end up wasting that night camped out on Regents Street. My advice – stay indoors, go online at precisely mid-night, and take your chances. My opinion is a little…. ‘meh’ but see you what you think. I’ve never been a fan of Kenzo but there are a couple of bits I’d go for. The price range is good though. From £29.99 for T-shirts through to £199.99 for coats. Plus, you won’t be lost in the crowd wearing these garments. … Good luck!


Season Past Stephen Donovan

Gastronomic Days of Autumn "Ibiza Sabors" We recently announced the launch of the 2016 Sabors (Tastes) gastronomic festival. We are spoiled with seemingly never ending food and drink promotions during the close season, and Sabors has to be up there as one of the very best. Sabors is all about the true taste of Ibiza. A celebration of the island’s produce—home grown, reared, fermented and, now with our favourite ale Ibosim joining the party, even brewed. Running from 15th of October until the 30th of November, the festival of feasting has 40 restaurants participating in 2016. As you can see from the event map, right, Sabors is an event that covers the entire island. Each restaurant or bar offers a 3 course menu for 20€, (excluding drinks), and/or a Tapas with beer or wine for 5€. Alongside the opportunity to eat and drink for fantastic val-ue in a truly diverse range of establishments, Sabors also includes a programme of special tasting and other cultural events. In this article we have listed a small selection of events and menus to give a flavour of sabors, which is after all exactly what it is all about. We also have to congratulate Ibiza Travel and the Consell de Ibiza for publishing the full programme in English alongside Spanish and Catalan. It is clear from their wording that the festival is considered an event that will attract tourists to Ibiza during the winter months, and in that context it is logi-cal that promotional materials are as accessible as possible.

The full 29 page programme is available to view and download on our website. http://theibizan.com/

View from the Pew Curtain of the Temple

Rev. Dr Peter Pimentel

The Gospel of Mark (a 1st Century AD ‘biography’ of Jesus) is one of the books of The Bible that narrates the execution of Jesus. At the moment when Jesus, with a loud shout, breathed his last, “the curtain of the temple”, Mark tells us, “was torn in two from top to bottom”. (Mark 15:37-38). That’s a remarkable piece of infor-mation. In order to appreciate this snip-bit of historical data, we need to explore some 1st Century AD Jewish sources. What was the curtain of the temple? What significance would the event have? The curtain of the temple was well known in the time of Jesus in Israel and was called in Hebrew parochet. Ear-ly rabbinic sources in the Mishnah give us a description of this magnificent curtain: “Rabban Simeon b. Gamaliel says in the name of R. Simeon, Son of the Perfect, the curtain was a handbreadth think, and was woven on a loom of seventy-two cords, and each cord was made up of twenty-four threads. It was forty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad. It was made by eighty-two young girls. And they make two a year. And three hundred

priests immense it.” (The Mishnah, Tractate Sheqalim, 8:5). A cubit is reckoned to be the length of a man's forearm and so about 52cms. 40 cubits long is then at least 20 meters and 20 cubits wide is of course about 10 meters. It seems that it was made from 72 pieces of fabric each a handbreadth wide and on 24 linen warp threads. It took 300 priests to immerse it in holy water for purification! Josephus (a Jewish historian and politician AD 37 – AD 100, who was 7 years old when Jesus died) wrote that the curtain was an image of the universe. He says: “It was a Babylonian curtain, embroidered with blue, and fine linen, and scarlet, and purple, and of a texture that was truly wonderful. Nor was this mixture of colours without its mystical interpretation, but was a kind of image of the universe.” (Josephus, Wars 5:212). He says the colours represent fire, earth, air and sea. The curtain, therefore, signified matter. The veil that stands between us and the glory of God. Another first-century book in the Bible picks up on the rending of the curtain from top to bottom. The curtain signifies the flesh of Jesus. Through his crucifixion, Jesus has opened up for us access “through the curtain”,that is through matter, and into the presence of God. (Hebrews 10:20) Church service 10.30am this Sunday 23rd at the Chapel of Lourdes, Carrer Sant Jaume 85 (the main street), Santa Eularia.

Local Life Ibiza Light Festival Ibiza Town Claire B

The first Ibiza Light Festival took place in Ibiza Town last weekend. Many emblematic places in the port and La Marina were transformed through lighting, video, sound, dance and theatre performanc-es. As darkness fell, 16 art installations (some of them interactive) brought the town to life, as nev-er before. It was a collaboration between the Ayuntamiento de Eivissa, the Consell Insular de Eivis-sa, La Asociación de Comerciantes del Puerto-La Marina and La Autoridad Portuaria (port authori-ty), and the idea is that this will become an annual cultural event to bring in visitors to the island and into town at the end of the season. It was a great event, which brought lots of people into town to see the festival and which gave local bars and restaurants more custom than they would have normally had. It was exciting walking around town to suddenly stumble across an interesting installation or a stunning illuminated per-formance. My favourite was the narrow street next to the walls of Dalt Vila that was filled with beams of lights and lasers, and was like an open air disco, and which had everyone who walked along the street smiling and enjoying the experience. It was fun, there was a great atmosphere in town and it was a fantastic cultural experience. Here’s hoping it becomes an annual event.

Ibiza Fashion Festival

Sophie Valentine 34 sizzling boho and swimwear brands revealed their collections in London’s Grosvenor Place recently, at The Ibiza Fashion Festival. It’s a glimpse of what’s to come next June in Ibiza. The fashion show accommodates women of all shapes, sizes and race, promoting healthy role models, and spreading positive body images. Headed by Bono was the Buy Vision Give Sight campaign, and sunglasses brand Revo, to support the fight against blindness in children. With its live art and exhibitions, the event went all out, resulting in a lively atmosphere. MTV DJ Damon Hess, DJ Greg Mason, and Lydia Lucy from BBC’s The Voice helped make it a memorable event. Artist Paul Beer also auctioned off live art, signed by celebrities for the Buy Vision Give Sight campaign. As stated by Karen Windle, ‘Boho is a look that you can wear no matter what size, class, gender or race, and Ibiza does it brilliantly. People love the commercial benefit of beautiful

people but we can't ignore the effect it has on young adults and their self-esteem. "I like versatile beautiful but yet practical fashion. Rigid fashion is ok cool for editorials but try and work that look for everyday ?! Not practical - and sometimes this high end fashion trend is unobtainable. "Why not look beautiful everyday with natural beauty , precious stones, silver, feathers, lace and leather - all

obtainable and beautiful in their own right, not just because a label is attached.’ The catwalk wear came from many different fashionista’s such as Black Velvet, Bossa Nova Bikini’s, Beth Richardson, Pretty Mi and FAC Designs. Hair was taken care of by celebrity stylist Daniel Jordan of Unite Hair. Charlotte Dawson applied makeup. You can see more at www.ibizafashionfestival.com

Pujada a sa Cala Rhian Gibbs

Pere Mayol Wins, Ibicenco Dani Ramon Takes Third Mallorca’s Pere Mayol (Silver Car S1) set the fastest time on Sunday in the thirty-first edition of the Pujada a sa Cala, the traditional Sant Vicent Hill Climb. He took the title thanks to a best lap of 2:12,443, eleven seconds faster than Ramon Moya (Speed Car GTR). Finishing off the podium, Ibicenco

Dani Ramon (Demon Car) took third place just 11.322s behind the winner. The main attraction in the rounds played this weekend has been the ‘Copa drifting de Montana’ where cars drift around a circuit, much to the delight of the 5,000 spectators. An accident of Rodrigo Martin (BMW E-38 V8) in Saturday’s practice spilled oil on the road and the race had to be sus-pended. The incident was more crucial at times on Sunday, as motorists had to take care on slippery asphalt. In addition, another accident was Ruben Bolaños (BMW Tur-

bo) who has lost control of his vehicle before turn four. The driver made a spectacular exit at turn three, when he asked for the support of the fans moments before the impact against a guardrail. The car then flew through the air and finished on a wall of dry-stone just twenty meters away from the asphalt. Luckily, Bolaños emerged unscathed and the competition was been able to continue normally. Despite the reported accidents, no driver has been hurt in the different clashes that have occurred during the trials organized by the Automobile Club of Ibiza.

So, back to the Premier, as I must, and Pep's little wobble at Man City is beginning to get a little bigger as his much vaunt-ed team could only draw 1-1 at home to Everton over the w/end and to make matters worse, they missed not 1 but 2 penalties and now only lead on goal diff from Arsenal who scraped yet another home win, this time 3-2 over Swansea. Only a point behind lie Tottenham in 3rd, having drawn 1-1 at West Bromwich with an 89th minute goal and hot on their heels, another point behind, lie Liverpool after their MNF 0-0 draw at home against Man U. This was such a hyped-up match by the UK press I thought I'd better watch it, (especially as 'er indoors has just jetted off to Blighty on a much delayed Irish airline, for a bit of R & R with her g/friends leaving me to hold the fort) y'know, Klopp v. Jose and at Anfield where the lat-ter just loves to score points (on and off the pitch!). Unfortu-nately, as per usual with these big matches, all a bit of a bore really (bit like England v. Slovakia) as proven by the fact that I dozed off for 40 mins of the 2nd half! Elsewhere, Chelsea are up there in 5th only 3 points off t'top,, after their 3-0 Bridge demolition of champions Leicester who are now lying 13th and without an away win from 4 with 13 goals conceded, followed by Everton in 6th. Southampton are next after their 3-1 home win over Burnley, Watford won 1-0 at Middlesbro', West Ham got their act together with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace, Sunderland continue to prop up the table after yet another loss, their 6th from 8 games, this time 2-0 at Stoke,

and finally, perf of the w/end has to be Bournemouth's 6-1 annihilation of Hull on the South coast. 'Tis Europe again and the 3rd Group games in both Champi-ons and Europa Leagues, and in the former, big, big test for Pep and Man City as he went back to his glory days in Barca on Wednesday, Arsenal should canter past Ludgorets at the Emirates, Leicester could actually qualify for the next round if they beat FC Copenhagen at the KC, and Tottenham are at Bayer Leverkusen. In the latter on Thursday, Man U are at home to Fenerbahce (before Jose faces his old club Chelsea at the Bridge on Sunday) and Southampton face a daunting task at Inter Milan, so good luck to 'em all!

Rugby Union In the European Champions Cup what a stunning perfor-mance by England's top club Saracens as they took on 3 times Euro champions Toulon on the Cote d'Azur, as they became the first team to triumph in Toulon in the Cup, running out 31-23 to lead their Group. Wins too for Northampton at home to Montpellier, Wasps with a record 82-14 win over Zebre but not good news for the other England reps as Leicester sur-prisingly lost to Glasgow, Sale lost at Scarlets (Wales) and Exeter were trounced 35-8 at home to Clermont. In the sec-ond tier Challenge Cup, wins for Bath at Pau, Gloucester at Bayonne and Harlequins over Stade Francais but Worcester lost at Enisei-STM (who?!)

Tennis Yet another tournament triumph for Our Andy as he won the Shanghai Masters for the 3rd time, making it not only a very successful visit to China, having won the Chinese Open be-forehand, but more importantly his 10th tournament win of the year. An added bonus was the demise of World No 1 Djokovic as he was seeded to meet Murray in the Final but was knocked out in the semi, giving the Scot a very slim chance of overtaking the Serb to become World No 1. I can't see it but you never know!

Cricket England's tour of Bangladesh continues and what was sup-posed to be a 4 day warm-up match became a bit of a wash-out due to the weather and so Captain Cook's men go in to the 1st Test of 2 on Thursday a little bit under-Cooked (sorry, couldn't miss that one!), especially the man himself as he's only just arrived on the sub-continent having been in UK for his wife's childbirth. Still, let's hope, having beaten the hosts already, 2-1 in the ODI'S, their successful tour continues. Also, congrats to my old buddy Chris' son Stuart Broad, as, if he plays in both Tests, the 2nd will be his 100th Test. Gotta go, 'tis now 01.10 so need my beauty sleep, so they keep telling me, 'til next week

1,000+ on the Marathon Trail With less than a month to go before what has be-come one of the Balearic Islands’ key sporting events, organisers are delighted with over 1,000 entries.

There are three main races, the 10 kilometres (Light Trail), the 21 kilometres (Medium Trail) and 42 kilometres (Trail Marathon). Each race starts and finishes in San Antonio, with the trails taking competitors through some of Ibiza’s most beautiful countryside and small beach-es, with the reward of some spectacular views on their way. Last year’s race was won by Italian Franco for the men, in a time of 3 hours, 43 minutes and 44 seconds; while in the woman’s race it was local lass Sabina who got home first with a time of 5 hours, 51 minutes, 54 seconds. The event’s ever growing stat-ure has attracted some of the sport’s top runners for what will be its 9th annual competi-tion. Josef Ajram and Marco de Gasperi are both in the upper echelons of internation-al trail running and are tipped as ones to watch. This year organisers have also introduced a range of chil-dren’s races at 500, 1,500 and 4,000 metres. The event takes place on Oc-tober 30th from 8:30 to 17:30.

Ibiza Cricket

Club vs Goring on Thames CC (est.1876) 8/10/16 30 overs per side. Ibiza (167/5) beat Goring (158 all out ) by 9 runs.

Ibiza Skipper Paul Cruttwell chose to bat first and set a total. Thus openers Sam Gooda and Adam Johnson began steadily against accu-rate bowling and enthusiastic fielding from the visitors, which kept the run rate to 4 runs per over at first. However Adam Johnson began to accel-erate, helping Ibiza post 90/2 at the halfway point, and con-tinued to bat throughout the innings, scoring a chanceless 94 not out. Martin Cooper (15) and Robin Parmenter (20) supported him, but the visi-tors’ bowling continued to restrict Ibiza, and they finally finished on a reasonable, but not daunting 167/5. Of the visitors’ bowlers, Alex Craw-ford stood out with an eco-nomical 2/23, ably supported by Peter Slade, Andy Benning and Tony Breakspeare who all contributed a wicket each. Goring then batted and with opener Glen Ashby looking fluent and settled with his 58, the Ibiza bowlers had to get wickets at the other end. This happened rapidly after the change of bowling with Goring on a stable 73/2 off 11 overs, after which a flurry of wickets reduced them to 76/6, then 89/7. But then all rounder Alex Crawford (53) and Pete “Maestro” Slade (22) came together and brought the

score to 144/8, before the former was bowled going for another big hit. The visitors then required 24 runs off 7 overs with just one wicket left, and once Pete Slade had hit 3 consecutive boundaries, leav-ing only 10 more runs needed, victory looked assured for Goring on 158/9. But Ibiza’s consistent spin bowler Mike Amos had the last word, tempting the batsman for-ward and getting him caught behind, thus handing Ibiza a good team win by 9 runs. All the Ibiza bowlers contribut-ed, however Graeme Cooper (4/30) and Jim Harvey (2/33), who both started the slide of wickets, stood out, while Mike Amos (2/45) was successful and both Paul Cruttwell and Jeremy Parmenter obtained a wicket each. The next day was supposed to be the second game of the weekend, but the autumn weather decided otherwise, with torrential rain falling in the morning and drenching the pitch, most unfortunately for both teams, who were looking forward to another competitive contest. It was not to be, for although the sun did appear in the afternoon, the pitch stayed wet for sever-al hours, and the football club was due to play later as well. However, many thanks to “Tour Daddy” Rhys Tong-Jones, who organized Goring’s trip, after successful recent tours to Mallorca and La Man-ga, as well as Skipper Ollie Carrier, without forgetting umpire Steve “The Cheese” Purnell and his personalized white coat! We look forward to hosting them again in the fu-ture. RPHood

The Formentera Team in Ibiza airport on their return following their Copa del Rey victory against Tudela-no. Right, fans waiting to give them a warm welcome home as they arrive on the Formentera ferry.

It’s Just an Illusion “Could it be that, potting the black, could it be that, potting the black, could it be that, it’s just an illusion” So said eight-ies pop-funkerteers Im-agination, well something like that anyway. “Searching for a destiny that’s mine” - prophetic words from the sequined soul sensation? It’s hard to tell among all this confusion, but with a 9-0 victory over Father Jacks in the first game of the season, we think there

might be a few more “hoping that they’ll never have to say, It’s just an Illusion”

Report by Jack Wharrie Well, pool season is back with a bang folks with 4 great matches following the news that the two Stevie Ds teams have had to postpone their fixtures for October with many of their squad still working on nights. Starting with the reigning champions, the Boulevard Spaniards, we saw them pick up where they left off last season with a convinc-ing win over the visiting Storeroom Knights after a fairly even start at 2-2.

Next up we had Maxim’s taking on Boulevard, a match in which the visitors had taken an early three game lead before the home side managed to fight back to secure their first win of the season, something which took them 4 games to do last season. Now we have what was called the closest match ever played by some of the players be-tween Storeroom E-leats and The Ship with every frame going down to the black ball and neither side going more than a game ahead, having to be settled in a final game which was won by The Ship. Now

finally we have one of our new teams Illu-sions stake their territo-ry with a 9-0 thrashing of last year’s runner-ups Father Jacks after a tech-nical prob-lem saw the game played on Friday in Illusions. Was this a bit of begin-ner’s luck or the start of something deadly? We’ll have to wait and see...


Football Forget Man City, United, the Pool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs and the Premier, big news this week, following on from Our Ed's snippet last week (on the inside page in case you missed it!), OMG! Formentera has to be buzzing this week as, having dispatched Tudelano in the 3rd Round of the Copa del Rey (the equivalent of the English FA Cup), our gallant Pitiusans were drawn against Spanish giants Sevilla, winners of the last 3 Europa Leagues (beating Liverpool in last season's Final). What

a draw, akin to, say, Tottenham drawing Hereford FC in the FA Cup and OK, not Barca or Real Madrid, but cer-tainly the next best thing. With the tie being played over 2 legs, with the 1st being on November 30th, supposedly on our little sister isle, one wonders where they're going to play as I understand Formentera's ground only holds around 750. Best bet has got to be Ibiza's ground at Can Misses, but, personal-ly, if I was their manager, I'd insist on the match being played in Formentera. I mean, c'mon, can you imagine what it's going to be like for those multi-millionaires of Sevilla having to fly to Madrid (as there are no direct flights to Ibiza), change planes to Ibiza, then take a bus to the port, and then a Formentera ferry. So, let's hope it's a really rough, stormy day and the ferry is delayed!

So, bon suerte, Formentera, go for it and really enjoy the away leg in December in Seville, you've earnt it!
