That would be quicker, and in terms of imparting information, more effective. Alas, such hopes are dashed. I have news of this fundamental piece of law affecting many of our readers, and yet in conveying it on the page I am left honestly baffled as to what it is for, what it is meant to achieve, and in this particular case why it even comes with an inbuilt self-sabotage function. I do not set out to pull holes in the text. I do not have an agenda of wanting to out smart the text. But when I read it, and reread, and read it again, it is just baffling to me. The task of revising our legislation was required in reflecting a difficult housing market and increasing tourism pressure in all aspects of our Balearic lives. For a whole year the best minds we have to offer have been on the case. And the result is,… well it’s nonsense isn’t it? Am I going insane? To work through the points as I see them. Licences Those who already had a licence will continue to have a licence. Their situation is unchanged, the market is unchanged, and their operation is unchanged. Given the highly attractive returns of letting to the tourist mar- Status Quo. All existing licences are confirmed permanent for life, regardless of location ket, we must consider that a large proportion of properties that would ever be let to tourists already are let to tourists.

Hotels in the Pitiuses have had to take drastic action in legally protecting themselves against such fake sickness claims, which have been likened to the wave of whiplash claims in the UK a few years ago. In the case of the two Brits, it was not the Macaroni Bolo- gnaise that may have upset their stomachs, but the daily consumption of alcohol which caused their illness. The Ibizan hotel where they stayed was able to provide a list of the alco- holic drinks that were ordered from the free bar at the all- inclusive hotel, little did the couple know that every time they showed the card (totally white) at the bar when ordering drinks, those drinks were being recorded, every gin and tonic they drank. Therefore their visits to the bar incriminated one or both of them as liars, as they could not have drank so much alcohol with their ‘supposed’ illness. Hotel Pisces Park banned the Ibizan newspaper soon after we reported a balcony death in 2015 Unsurprisingly, upon hearing the evidence the hotel had, the couple withdrew their complaint.

San Jose Taxis Must Prove They Are Not Avoiding Taxes In the continuing taxi rows, salaried taxi drivers have reported ‘layoffs’ by licenced taxi holders.

Flower Power Fiesta Destino Claire B Flower Power at Pacha is one of Ibiza’s longest running parties and last week the party moved outside to Destino for the day. The Flower Power Beat Expe- rience Festival saw the venue decorated to the nines in Flower Power’s inimi- table style with a soundtrack of music from the 60s and 70s – think lots of Beatles, Rolling Stones, Motown, Beach Boys, rock and roll and much more. With market stalls, roving performance artists, dancers and decorations hang- ing across the venue and around the pool it all added up to a fun and cool par- ty.

Keith Haring Exhibition @ La Nave Ses Salinas THE exhibition to see in Ibiza at the moment has to be the Keith Haring exhibition at La Nave in Salinas.

Jezza’s World of Sport

Jeremy Parmenter Not a lot of time this week, as I'm already late for this week's copy, so straight in to it and what a week!

Tennis: Roger Federer Takes Record 8th Wimbledon Title! Absolutely incredible as my prediction at the start of Wimbledon fortnight comes true. OK, I predicted a Federer/ Nadal Final but I did predict a Fed win! For Federer to go right through to win it without dropping a set, the first time that the eventual winner has done that since Bjorn Borg in 1976, is something to behold and add to that two more records: (1) that he became the second oldest winner of a Major since Ken Rosewall in 1972 as well as the oldest winner of Wimbledon in the open era and (2) that this was his 8th Wimbledon title, surpassing Pete Sampras and William Renshaw, who both had 7. And did he win it in style, straight sets, 6-3,6-1,6-4 against Croatian Maron Cilic, appearing in his first Wimbledon Final, although he had won the US Open in 2015, defeating Federer on the way to the Final. You had to feel for Cilic tho' as he appeared to suffer, whether from the pressure and/or a blistered foot, in the 2nd set but give him his due, he came back to at least make a fist of it in the final set. So, a grand finale to the Mens, despite the loss of Murray, Djokovic and Nadal but as for the Women, great to see Spaniard Garbine Muguruza take her first Wimbledon title as she demolished Venus Williams, Horses fear for future as men seen riding robots. conqueror of Brit Jo Konta in her Semi, 6-4,6-1.
