Ibiza: One Season Too Many? (Documentary) BBC Stories

[@jcs3330]

I went to Eivissa for the first time way back in 98/99 on a 'pure whim' with a friend. One day he returned to the apartment and told me he had found a brilliant beach bar (Cafe Mambo) with a great sunset and music. Back then you could either make your way there on the roads from the centre of San Ant or risk 'the short cut' by climbing around the rocks, with the sea directly beneath you (there was no man-made public board walks back then). Since then I have returned on a yearly basis - even getting married at the amazing 'Hacienda Na Xamena Hotel', on the opposite of the island, in 2010. And just to mention, my partner who is spanish (but lived and worked in London for over 2 decades) had never been to Eivissa, any of the family included, saying that has spaniards they believed it was a crazy place full of drunk/drugged-up tourist. But when we first met I introduced my partner to the other side of the island (and also San Ant - that didn't go down well with them!) and now the spanish side of the family love it - especially the old town and all the hidden 'locals' beaches etc. 33 years on, I now stay in Ibiza Old Town surrounding areas, just because I suppose, I have grown, matured and appreciate the more 'sophisticated and adult' parts of the island and all the things I never knew even existed outside of San Ant. (I thought San Ant 'was' ibiza!!. (like a lot of young first-timer to the island do). Years on and now 'grown', I look back and think how the hell did I even stay in San Ant for a week!) but then I suppose that part of the island was and still is many teens first introduction to Eivissa). I have travelled to many countries (and even lived in mainland south spain has an adult) but nothing comes close to the 'magical' draw and "Wow!..I have arrived", feeling when I land in Eivissa. It is surely a 'one-off' and unmatched AMAZING place and destination, which some other destinations have tried to duplicate but have clearly failed to get that 'undescriptive ' vibe.

I lived on that island for 5 years, all year round. This is just rubbish reporting with someone thinking they can do a spiffy edit with some tunes attached. The complaints of the locals are not about San Antonio West end but about the unaffordable rents for seasonal workers and illegal subletting of rooms and even balconies in the center of the towns. Then there's the bullshit about Ibiza being a great attraction due to its music and parties, completely ignoring drugs being one of the main attractions of Ibiza. And please, let's not shoehorn LBGT and race topics into everything possible. Carl Cox is as black as it gets, Roger Sanchez isn't too white either and they have been around the block long before we knew how to spell Ibiza. And then finally because it's trendy, let's add in a commercial piece for the eco warriors on a solar powered cat. Complete garbage puff piece. Well under BBC standards.

@@simonarr6584 yes because then she might have reported on the complete lack of fresh water during the summer months. The water is 100% coming from the overloaded desalination plant, so much so that they often just filter the water but have to mix salt water into the desalinated output. Try brushing your teeth with that then you know what that means. How about the hopeless waste management, most of which has to be shipped off the island because there just is not space in the landfills? How about when it does rain, the sewers overflow regularly, all it's goodness spilling in rivers down the main streets and straight into the sea. And where's the power coming from for the island? Why not visit their powerplants on Ibiza and Formentera pumping enormous amounts of pollution into the air, mixing well with the jet fumes from the air traffic, I guess? That would of course require real reporting work,.

Ibiza’s glory is close to end… I’ve been going there all summer seasons during the last 25 years and although it is a beautiful place to be, nightlife and sky rocketing prices have ruined the island… RIP Ibiza 😢

[@chattyman4740]

Ibiza was brilliant from the late 80s - to the early 00s, back then it really was an incredible place, now it's just another spoilt collection of resorts trading on it's former glory, the magic has been well and truly bled out of the place over the last 20 years. I get why - it's had to move with the times, the money wasn't flowing back into the Island back then, it was flowing into the pockets of club promoters and drug dealers, so to make tourism sustainable on Ibiza long term, they need to switch the ravers and the heavy drinking brigade out, to get the high end/wealthy people in, who will spend big in restaurants, shops, casinos.. create jobs and businesses, reduce the anti-social behaviour, make the drug taking less overt. The idea of having some illicit hedonistic experience on Ibiza has disappeared in this age of the internet and camera phones, and it means a constant slew of bad publicity blights the place. The sad thing is, is back in the day - it was about the music, that's what made it special. The music is an afterthought now, it's about creating the illusion of some affluent lifestyle for social media views.

[@PUDDICOMBE1992]

My first time there was in 2015, I was 23. I did enjoy heading to the beach after Space to catch the sunrise and felt like I experienced a tiny bit of that magic you speak about. I think you’re right about about internet and camera phones ruining it. I can only imagine what it was like back in the 90s, I think the dance music was much better back then as well.

What the problem is ibiza used to be about the music lovers who knew there djs and the tunes. Now it's over run by common UK idiots the type who walk round with top off no shape and British patterned shorts the common larger lout. No style they can't name a dj and all they want is a quick pint get wrecked a fight or shag well they should go to magaluf for that. There the ones wrecking the environment I'm surprised it's not mentioned more in the video also the music scene is dying because of them following the commercial tunes instead of supporting the house/trance scene there.

[@zealman79]

Who goes all the way to ibiza, just so you can hang out in a pokey bar in the west end listening to some bedroom dj play on his numark mixtrack pro 3 - you can get that at home. the whole point is to go to a super club and listen to some big name dj (while downing disco bikkies like they're going out of fashion) and make a 15 euro bottle of water last 4 hours.

As started off having 1 or 2 drinks there and what djs are you into? They couldn't name a dj to save there life and I don't think he knew what trance was 😐 lol.

Visited Ibiza from the States in 2016 fullfilling a dream I'd had since 1999. I downloaded a Radio 1 Paul Oakendfold set playing at Space. It was the 1st time hearing about this mythical sounding place, Ibiza. 17 years later I made it to Ibiza just before Space closed a couple months later. It's a trip & Island I will never forget.

[@Outspoken.Humanist]

When the UK introduced all day drinking, people were worried about increased alcohol consumption and drunks in the street. It didn't happen. Closing bars when they are full is madness. Do the authorities really imagine tens of thousands of partygoers are just going to walk home in silence at 3am? The real problem is VIP elitism. What used to be a small area in a venue for a small number of people, has become mainstream. The clubs and bars are eventually going to price themselves out of business but before that happens, Ibiza will lose its reputation as the place to be, and become a hang-out only for the wealthy. But that demographic is much smaller. Along with ridiculously high prices for food and drink comes huge increases in property rental and purchase prices. Locals struggle to find somewhere affordable away from the nightlife and this leads to frustrations. The local government needs to wake up and businesses need to put aside their greed and balance volume against exclusivity.

[@lemsip207]

[@tijanabosk228]

@@unelectedbureaucrat2003 even if it's diverse by "British standards" doesn't mean it's actually diverse. There's no real hybridity in the club culture. If you go to O Beach you're partying with just Brits, a lot of non-Brits feel put-off, or even uncomfortable, with the oversaturation of British culture present, + it's a different way of partying. You get deeply segregated parties with no intermixing. I'm Serbian Canadian, lived in Bristol for 2 years on a work holiday, then lived in Ibiza 2 summers, and it was a culture shock for most Brits that I'd even rent a shared 2 bdrm apartment with them in San An (with 6 ppl total). Your culture does not mix well with others, you're an island that thinks you can bring your own music, socialization and fashion to Ibiza.. naming 2 black djs (black coffee and carl cox) doesn't kill the diversity question. The fact that you would list this kind of tokenism as an example of diversity just proves how out of touch British culture is when it comes to its views on integration. Not shocked that the unilateral British perspective on this is that the BBC can f itself for posting this trash. You better be careful, or someone will start a publicity sh * t storm about the problems with British racism and how its torturing this island, and they'll do it in a PC-fucking friendly kinda way.

I watched Paul Oakenfold at shine last year it cost me 20euros the majority of the younger people in the line didn't know who he was and was only going because it was at Eden in the centre of San an and it was one of the cheaper tickets mid week when the newer moder acts weren't playing charging 3x the price.

Also she claimed "Last year, hundreds of locals took the streets to protest what they say is unlimited, disrespectful and excessive tourism to Ibiza" when those protests actually had nothing to do with that and in fact where protesting high rental prices during summer season. All those complaints (those that aren't made up by this disingenuous reporter) are about San Antonio and it's true that San Antonio is a shithole, but it's a incredibly tiny part of the island that aims for ultra cheap tourism. Trust me nobody is complaining about tourism here since the island very much depends on it. Also Mambo is not a big part of ibizan culture since locals would never go there. DJ's are not chosen based on the color of their skin but the revenue they bring in.

@@jornleuchter7023 I agree. I've been three times to Ibiza and San Antonio was a sleezy toilet of an area. Like you say, mainly due to English tourists but also Scottish, Welsh & Irish too unfortunately. I'm Scottish and all the scum of our country are attracted to areas like Sam Antonio. Sad.

[@jornleuchter7023]

@@Jasonrm92 I’m from The Netherlands and I have been there enough to know that San Antonio is the worst place of the island. It feels like Mallorca or Chersonissos due to people of England and Whales (not all of them ofcourse). They are disrespectful to other tourists and people that live there. It is better that they go somewhere else, because of them, Ibiza got two names.

Ibiza used to be where you went for a family holiday if you wanted something a bit more upmarket than Majorca. Then hippies started to take over which attracted the DJ's and then the crowds.

[@karlheinzschulze5362]

Nice little report about Ibiza. Overtourism will destroy Ibizas nature, and some solar energy here and there will not be able to save it. By the way the leafs of the Posidonia on the beach do not mean the Posidonia is dying, just as leafs in the forest don't mean the trees are dying. In healthy marine ecosystems, the posidonia looses leafs and regrows other leaves, it's a continous cycle until the plant will die and be replaced by another. However the loss due to the boats and pollution is obviously real.

[@bradbaum4432]

I holidayed in Ibiza with my family back in the 70's and it was a beautiful place then. We went off-season (April) and it was a pretty cool place. Not so sure that place still exists. However, what it is now is what they wanted it to become or else it would not have become that, would it? Money is still the driving force. And incidentally, the music on the video is very good and one track in particular has caught my attention. The track that starts with "Everybody" at 2:35, anyone know what that track is?

[@hen-rey]

That’s it. I was first Ibiza in the late 60ies. Lived in a Bronner planned condo in the Calle de la virgen. Playing as a child with Spanish children. Locals lived there. Las Salinas was a lovely lonely beach. My last visit was in the early 80ies. Then never again. My parents sold it. I’m happy to remind the old time while real hippies and Devine was there. Now it’s some kind of Disney land. Pity, but that’s tourism.

I agree with you regarding ibiza being a money pit. But one thing that the islands local government do well with and take serious in the light of this, is that they they plough a lot of money back into the islands conservation (which a lot of mass tourist destination do not do. Yes, Ibiza has changed loads. I started going in the late 90's, when the present motorways did not exist and the buses were disco buses!. But to this day still return to the island (just not San Antonio anymore - not even if it was free and you paid my flight!). Also, most people from back in the day has teenagers who first landed in San Ant (and didn't know there was a 'whole island' outside or it, probably as adults don't stay or visit it anymore - just because we mature and have different taste with that. Overall though, I think Ibiza is a 'one-off' and I think from teen introduction to adult maturity you grow with it and place yourself on the island where you feel best.

[@VoiceOfThe]

I first came to Ibiza almost 30 years ago. It was very different back then. It’s become a victim of its own success nowadays. Sad to see. It was Cafe Del Mar and not Mambo that encapsulated the true spirit of Ibiza. Cafe Del Mar opened in 1980. The ‘sunset strip’ was never meant to be a big party area, you did that in the clubs later.

@Flat Eric Far too many for the naked eye. I fear even one glimpse may curse an individual to a minimum of three months of projectile vomiting.

[@yaszsz]

San Antonio* is like Blackpool, made by Brits for brits. Where the Spanish hang out and cultured Europeans hang out is a VERY different part of the island.

[@spangol87]

far more beautiful than Blackpool if you take in the whole of the island. Silly comment.

[@yaszsz]

@Bore off. Lol, that's simply not true. Brits travel abroad cos your weather, food and landmarks are shite. You will see lots of tourists in London/Oxford/Bristol, cos those are the only decent cities in England I'm afraid. The few working class brits that moved to Ibiza in the search of sun and money either work as waiters or started some sort of cheap bars in San Antonio (just like they did in Magaluf, Mallorca). Yes, sorry to tell you what we all Europeans think of you: being a Brit has never been a synonym of class.

[@lemsip207]

@@yaszsz They travel abroad because it's too expensive to holiday at home as train fares and accommodation is so expensive and if you have to book a holiday months in advance you don't know what the weather will be like in this country. It could be a wash out July or a wash out August. The weather is different every summer in the UK. And we have a lot to offer tourists from the UK and abroad such as the theatres in the West End and the provinces. Castles and theme parks as well. Food has improved vastly in the past forty years if you are prepared to pay for it. There are classy people as well as uncouth people living in the UK just as in every other country in Europe. Go to France and you will see the beaufs (the equivalent of white chavs who are annoying but relatively harmless) and the racailles who are from north Africa and violent. There are also bad parts to every city in the UK just like there are in other countries. There are districts in Paris and Berlin that are even scarier than the poorest parts of London.

[@jammymancy8637]

If you seriously believe that the top guys of the Ibiza clubs are picking their DJ's on the colour of their skin and not on their musical credentials, you've lost it; you're mad. If there's one DJ that is synonymous with that place it's Carl Cox... yes, a person devoid of white skin!
