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.

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.

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- Time For Some Sums? od last year.

The Ibizan, Thursday 20th October 2016, Issue 849 links are live in the online edition at theibizan.com Page 12 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.
