Es
Vedra |
The legend of this limesone colossus is that
this is the remains of Atlantis and that Odysseus was lured here
by the Sirens. Tanit,
the Carthaginian love and fertility goddess is supposed to dwell
inside the rock. The only human
inhabitant, a Carmelite monk, reported seeing strange lights
and visions (UFOs nowadays).
At
the base of the cliff is an old quarry where hippies have apparently
experienced
visions of Buddha, and decorated the cave with symbols. The cave
is inhabited by a witch, according to folklore , and you must
leave a personal item at the cave's entrance for luck.
Local
fishermen have reported their compasses and instruments go mad
when near the island. Only goats, lizards and birds live on the
magical isle of Es Vedra.

This
beautiful, unspoilt beach lined with tall pines, on the northwest
coast of Ibiza is a brilliant place to watch the sunset.
The surrounding area is protected from development.
Legendary in Ibizan hippy folklore as the place to party in the
60's, bongo playing sometimes accompanies the stunning sunset. Most
drumming tends to happen on Sundays.
This used to be the in place for full moon parties. The
Day of the Drums
takes place around August 28th, at the full moon, when crowds of sarong-clad
bongo players play tribal rhythms through the night from sunset
to sunrise.
Many say
that Goa's
trance parties grew
out of Ibiza's full-moon celebrations, and acted as a catalyst
for the West-Coast hippy movement. |
