Es Cucó: The Hidden Gem of Ibiza's Culinary Scene

Es Cucó: The Hidden Gem of Ibiza's Culinary Scene

Nestled in the charming area of Sant Agustí, Es Cucó has been a staple of Ibiza's culinary landscape since the 1960s. What began as a small, all-purpose store with a bar has transformed into a beloved local institution. The bar gained early fame as a hotspot for workers from the nearby Barceló Hotel and Club Delfín, who flocked to Es Cucó for its famous 'pollo a l’ast'— a rotisserie chicken that draws customers from all over the island. Run by the Escandell family through the generations, this family-operated venue has become a haven for locals and tourists alike. Known for its hospitality and hearty dishes like cordon bleu and tapas, the bar still buzzes with the same energy that made it a staple in its early days. While the establishment has evolved over the years, with expansions and remodels, it remains a nostalgic meeting place where the charm of Ibiza's past mingles with its present. Whether you're enjoying a vermouth on the terrace or relishing in the warmth of the locals inside, Es Cucó continues to thrive as a beloved part of Ibiza's cultural fabric.

Ibiza Hotel Stays Dip, But Tourist Spending Soars Amid Inflation

Ibiza Hotel Stays Dip, But Tourist Spending Soars Amid Inflation

In the ever-evolving landscape of Ibiza tourism, recent statistics unveil a fascinating paradox for club-loving Brits. While hotel stays on the island have seen a dip, dropping nearly 4% from May to July compared to 2017, tourist spending has soared, with an impressive 14.6% increase over the past year. Alicia Reina from the Spanish Hotel Directors Association highlights this as part of a significant shift in holidaymakers' behaviour. With inflation and rising transport costs driving up prices, spending levels have shot up, even if it doesn't necessarily mean more bang for your buck. Conventional party wisdom seems to be shifting as longer stays in August emerge after a season of short, price-sensitive bookings. Ibiza continues to focus on providing value rather than sheer volume of visitors, staying competitive in the global tourism market. The rise in expenses is aligned with Ibiza's commitment to quality, aiming for a valuable tourist experience that benefits not just visitors but the local economy as well. For those ready to hit the White Isle's legendary beaches and nightspots, the promise of high-quality experiences remains the star attraction.
