| Ibiza Eurotapas
Ibiza town's main square, the Vara de Rey, was the place to be for lovers of tapas this weekend. A specially erected marquee was the venue for a veritable cornucopia of food and wine and with each tapa costing only €1, quite literally hundreds of people turned up! The reason for the tapa-tent was the second annual Ibiza Gastronomy Week, when various restaurants and wine producers get together to show off the local cuisine of the island.
So popular was the event that many of the restaurants represented in the marquee actually ran out of food and had to ring up for emergency supplies. Many tourists from the mainland took advantage of the cheap prices to sample food they would not normally see in their regions of Spain.
What a pity that the Gastronomy Week takes place when so few foreign tourists are here.
CostaLessGolf.com Now Operating in Spain, Portugal, Balearic ...
CostaLessGolf.com, the European golf holiday web site, can now offer cheap golf in Spain, Portugal, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. The web site has been restructured to take into account the golf courses and accommodation available in these areas. Customers can now select areas of each country and tailor their own golf package including rounds of golf, car hire, accommodation and airport pickups. Fuengirola, Malaga (PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- CostaLessGolf.com, the European golf holiday web site, have announced a major expansion of their cheap golf holiday operations by providing golf breaks in Spain, Portugal, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. Previously the golf web site concentrated solely on offering golf breaks in Spain, with the Costa del Sol being the most popular spot for golfers looking to play abroad.
Carry on Shopping
Ibiza's shoppers were given some good news this week by no less a body than the Balearic Superior Tribunal of Justice - which you don't normally think of when you fancy a new pair of jeans – when it ruled that a shop called Pull and Bear should be given a license to trade in Ibiza. Hopefully this will be the end of a long running and outrageous saga of blatant favouritism and over protection in the retail sector of the economy.
Pull and Bear's shop arrived like a breath of fresh air on the Ibiza scene. It was open when people weren't at work, its clothes were well made, economically priced and neatly presented for shoppers. Its assistants could usually be found busying round the shop and appeared to have had some training in customer service.
Quite naturally the shop went down a bomb with the public.
