Celebrating a Century: Iconic Ibiza Spirit Brand Honoured

Toast to tradition and taste as Ibiza's renowned Licores Aniseta is celebrated for its rich 100-year history of crafting iconic island spirits. This week, the beloved brand was honoured at the XII Foro de Emprendedores Ingenion for its significant contributions to Ibiza's business community. Starting from a small shop near the bustling Ibiza port in 1925, founder José Ferrer's passion led to the creation of a distinguished distillery famous for its traditional elixirs. From rosemary and anise to the signature hierbas ibicencas, the Ferrers have crafted beloved flavours for decades. Today, the legacy continues under David Ferrer, representing the fourth generation, who took the helm this year, promising a blend of innovation and experienced stewardship. While the product line has evolved with changing tastes, Licores Aniseta remains a pillar of classic Ibizan culture. Cheers to a century of memories and the many more to come.

Cruise Tourists Set to Spend Big in Ibiza

Ibiza’s allure continues to shine brightly as a stopover for cruise tourists, with visitors reportedly splashing out between 50 and 70 euros each day. Although their visits are brief, lasting just a few hours, the island leaves a lasting impression. Alfredo Serrano of the Cruise Lines International Association highlights this trend, noting that many travellers express a desire to revisit the Balearic hot spot for a longer holiday within the next three years. Beyond its famed beaches and nightlife, Ibiza’s enviable position in the western Mediterranean makes it an appealing fixture for cruise itineraries. Despite ongoing controversies about pollution and crowding, data from ports like Barcelona suggests minimal environmental impact. The focus remains on maintaining a vibrant cruise sector while balancing local concerns.

Élite: Santa Eulària’s Freshest Culinary Turnaround

Santa Eulària, a beloved spot among Ibiza enthusiasts, has welcomed a transformed gem. The bar-cafeteria formerly known as Pomelo has undergone a stunning overhaul under the new ownership of Juan Antonio Marí, affectionately referred to as 'Colomaret', and his wife, Teresa. Situated along camí de Missa, Élite emerges as a revamped locale marked by bright, inviting interiors—a stark contrast to Pomelo's previous dim aesthetic. Gone are the days when drinks were the sole offering. Élite now boasts an extensive menu featuring everything from tapas to a full daily menu, elevating Santa Eulària’s culinary landscape. Highlights include dishes like jamón serrano cut by hand and a delightful rotating selection of daily specials, from Tuesday’s beloved paella to Saturday’s codillo. The transformation extends beyond decor and menu, aiming to foster a serene and welcoming environment that regulars adore. With a strong emphasis on fresh, homemade cuisine, which Juan Antonio has been passionate about since his days at the nearby Es Pagès, Élite has attracted a loyal following. Local clientele have embraced the change, with many praising the ‘family-like’ atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. Whether you're a seasoned Ibiza visitor or newly enticed by the island’s culinary offerings, Élite stands as a testament to the appeal of the local culture and cuisine—an experience not to be missed on your next visit.
