Cala Llonga's Beach Kiosks: Iconic Part of Ibiza's Charm Faces Closure

A wave of concern sweeps through Cala Llonga as the beloved beach kiosks, integral to the area's unique vibe, face potential demolition. These kiosks are cherished by tourists and locals alike for their role in creating the quintessential Ibiza beach experience. Recent moves by the Santa Eulària council to comply with administrative mandates could see one of these iconic structures torn down. Playfully perched along the picturesque shores, the kiosks have been more than just refreshment points—offering not only snacks and drinks but also toilets and a familial atmosphere that enhances the beachgoers' experiences. Local business owners fear this loss will drive visitors to seek other coastal havens, impacting economic activity around Ibiza's celebrated beaches. A local campaign is underway, garnering hundreds of signatures to find a solution that preserves at least one kiosk, safeguarding this slice of Ibiza's cultural and social fabric.

Ibiza's Duty-Free Disco Faces Axe Amid Tourism Image Revamp

In a strategic move to reshape Ibiza's tourism image, local officials have called for an end to the Sunday evening disco sessions at the island's airport duty-free zone. Tourism chief Juan Miguel Costa has conveyed the Consell's dissatisfaction with the weekly events, which feature DJ Giancarlo, to airport director Marta Torres. The Consell argues that such events clash with their ongoing efforts to promote a broader, more culturally rich image of Ibiza. This stance comes amid the Consell's larger aim to spotlight diverse attractions beyond the island's famed nightlife. Aena, the airport management, clarifies that the duty-free disco events are organized by Avolta, the company operating the space. The move underscores a pivotal moment in redefining what Ibiza represents to its visitors, particularly those travelling from the UK.
