Discover a Hidden Gem: Es Fornet de Balansat, Ibiza's Toast Haven

Tucked away in the charming Sant Miquel, Es Fornet de Balansat has become a beloved pitstop for UK tourists and locals alike, offering a taste of authentic Ibiza. Since opening in 2021, this eatery has gained popularity for its delicious 'pa amb tomate'—a traditional tomato bread delicacy that's a delightful surprise for many travelers. Owners Mariano and Cristina, originally bakers, expanded their passion during the pandemic by embracing the local culinary culture. Open year-round, this quaint spot serves up a variety of toast options using homemade bread, paired with ingredients like sobrasada, goat cheese, and avocado. Alongside freshly baked pastries, natural juices, and tempting coffees, Es Fornet de Balansat is not just a café; it’s a captivating culinary experience inviting festival-goers to indulge beyond the dance floors of Ibiza's vibrant nightlife.

Ibiza Remembers 'Tanit': Celebrated Hippie and Icon of the Island Passes Away

Ibiza Remembers 'Tanit': Celebrated Hippie and Icon of the Island Passes Away

The Ibiza community is mourning the loss of Ferdinand Guy Jocelyn, affectionately called 'Tanit' by those who knew him between the wild decades of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Known for his backward beach strolls and playing paddleball at Las Salinas, Tanit was a staple in the social fabric of Ibiza. Carlos Martorell, a celebrated publicist who organized opening nights for iconic venues like Amnesia and KU (now Unvrs), fondly recalls Tanit as an unforgettable figure on the dance floors. Interestingly, Tanit named himself after the Carthaginian goddess and passed away on World Goddess Day. His vibrant hippie persona, adorned with dreadlocks and feathers, made him a beloved character. Despite a world that moved past the 'sex, drugs, and rock & roll' era, Tanit remained true to the spirit of an era gone by. Remembered for his emotional moment receiving the Llave de Ibiza, his legacy endures as a part of the island's colourful tapestry. Farewell, Tanit.
