We were invited down to Savannah’s on the sunset strip last night for a little press thingy for MN2S - tapas, drinks etc. We got given a couple of cd’s and an introduction to their night at El Divino’s which starts Monday 23rd June and runs till Mon 15th September. The pre-parties will be at Savannah’s with a coach going from there and also a free boat from the ibiza town port across to El Divino.

As part of the press do we had to take some photos, it’s a hard job but somebody has to do it:

The obligatory sunset strip sunset photos:

Then last night’s full moon

For us personally the summer officially starts tonight with the Ibiza Rocks opening gig - check the blog around 2am hopefully for the initial photos…

Today we got down to the task of putting ibiza club tickets on our iphoneibiza.com website.

After mucho help from my old mate kosso we went live about an hour ago - there’s some tweaking to be done, but we’re happy with it so far.

eg. you can buy ibiza rocks hotel opening tickets.

We’re just a few days away now from adding in the full club listings for another classic summer of dance music on the island. It’s all kicking off slightly earlier than usual this year:

We’ve got a ton of stuff thats hopefully going to make people here and elsewhere look at us differently - in the meantime here’s next months cover - the magazine was finished tonight and went to the printers - available in all good kioskos and some bad ones too on March 1st.

Over the next week we’ll put up our interviews with Estanislao Pérez Gago who is head of the National Police and Pepa Mari who is Ibiza’s council representative for tourism…

In the meantime here’s this to digest on:

Fewer berths but more space for larger boats – this is the main thrust of the plans of the new licensee for Marina Ibiza Nueva, the Serveis Marítims Port d’Eivissa (Semar) consortium. Among other things Semar is planning the construction of a new, 100-metre long jetty as well as additional docks. Additionally the shops on land are to be reorganised and the El Divino club will have to make way for a clubhouse. Just a few weeks ago Semar received the license from the Balearic Islands Port Authority to run Ibiza Nueva for the next 17 years. In return they will have to pay Euro5.4 million in yearly license fees to the authorities.

But bear in mind this:

The project, which was presented to the public in February, must still be approved by the port authority. According to Semar, the marina’s restructuring will cost them around euros 2.7 million. At this time the company still hasn’t made any announcement about the prices for the new and improved berths. They want to wait until the Balearic Islands Port Authority gives final approval to their plans.
