Ibiza - Old transport, beaches and partiesThe 'white island' has a daytime laid back vibe which makes even the other Balearic Islands seem like they're on speed. Chill out on one of the secluded beaches, take a look at the mystical monolith of Es Vedra |
On summer holiday, I spotted this clean looking CJ parked in Dalt Villa, the old walled town of Eivissa, Ibiza, Spain. The hot, dry climate keeps the rust off but finding a vehicle on the island without a dent in it is problematic (unless you are in a dealer showroom!) The jeep is showing a bit of wear and tear but is still pretty much all in one piece. It's the ideal runaround in the mediterranean heat as long as you don't have to stay stopped in the sun for too long!
As Ibiza is one of the places old hippies go to sit out their declining years, it's also possible to run across other interesting bits and pieces. This venerable Royal Enfield Indian has no doubt found it's way here from Goa which is another hippy heaven.
Like Ibiza, Goa was popularised in the 1960's by hippies who found its tolerant attitude and cheap cost of living a big plus. The Balearic Islands were far enough off the beaten track in the sixties to have a much more laid back ambience than the rest of Spain which at the time was still run by the ultra right wing General Franco.
