Ibiza's Musical Gem Celebrates 20 Years with Spectacular Festival Line-Up

For those who think Ibiza is just about beach bars and electrifying nightlife, there's another captivating facet of the island: its rich musical heritage. The famed organ of the Sant Josep Church celebrates two decades of musical splendour, and to mark this milestone, a special festival is set to enchant visitors until May 2027. With concerts slated to cater to diverse tastes and a masterclass led by renowned French organist Thomas Ospital, this series is a must for music lovers visiting the island. The festival promises a grand finale with Les veus del cel performed by the Escolania de Montserrat, the choir that inaugurated the organ 20 years ago. For the UK tourists who return for the island’s unparalleled vibes, here's a chance to explore the rich cultural rhythm that beats beyond the club scene.

Brace Yourselves: Unsettled Weather Could Hit Ibiza by Late November

Holidaymakers hoping to bask in Ibiza’s famous sunshine may need to pack more than just beachwear this November, as meteorological predictions suggest a return of heavy rains to the Mediterranean region. According to Duncan Wingen from the digital weather platform Meteored, starting 30th November, Ibiza and its neighbouring island Formentera could experience a pattern of intense rainfall. Though the current forecast sees warm, dry weather with temperatures peaking in Spain’s Guadalquivir Valley, a shift is expected mid-week with increasing storm risks. As autumn progresses, configurations typical of wet weather in the Mediterranean—like those seen with the recent 'Adam' storm—could bring unsettled conditions. The European model suggests the real changes might kick in with November’s arrival, featuring possible rainstorms and easterly winds, with conditions still under review. Holiday planners should stay tuned for updates as some models hint at instabilities moving in from Portugal or entering directly from France.

Iconic Rock Formation at Es Figueral Beach Crumbles

The landscape at Ibiza's Es Figueral Beach has experienced a significant change. The iconic rock formation known as es Paller d’en Camp, located north of the beach, has collapsed due to recent turbulent weather conditions. This striking geological feature, towering around ten metres high, nestled between Es Figueral and s’Aigua Blanca beaches, was a familiar sight to many who frequented this coastal stretch. Over the years, erosion caused by rain, wind, and waves had gradually weakened it, and now it has finally succumbed to nature's relentless forces.
