Back From Holidays

Back from holidays after a couple of weeks in Ibiza. Was going to go a few days to Marrakesh before but ending up just doing two whole weeks in Ibiza. The holidays were excellent and managed to completely disconnect from the “city-life”. Basically went to the beach almost everyday, did some snorkeling in some amazing coves and ate well, really well. Definitely some excellent holidays and for anyone who’s up to date with Ibiza news, the oil spill reports were greatly exaggerated : it was almost all cleaned up in less than a week. As always, there are some funny sites and contrasts in Ibiza as the summer months attract all kinds of non-indigenous human fauna and over sized nautical vehicles but, also as usual, we mostly managed to steer clear of all this. Also went to Formentera for a couple of days which is really amazing and still relatively unspoilt. Hung out with Cris’ friends loads and managed to see a lot more of the island than on previous visits which was great : there are some really good trekking and biking routes out there. I didn’t take too many photos (as is becoming usual lately) but I did get some which are up in this set. What I do have is an ever growing collection of photos of Eivissa and Formentera.

Back in Barcelona, August is a great time to be in the city as it seems to literally empty itself of people and cars. Work is very quiet at the moment and I’m taking advantage to look into some music courses : I’m between MicroFusa and SAE Institute at the moment but really want to do some sort of audio course.

This week is crazy for a calm August with plans all the way up to Sunday! Hoping to go up to Illes Medes soon for a dive which should be amazing : its a protected area where you pay a supplement which goes towards the maintenance of the area and has all kinds of restrictions (which should mean its not annihilated by building and development). Also ended up not doing any dive in Ibiza due to extreme holiday relaxation (although did get some snorkeling done which is pretty amazing round there anyways)!

Anyways, enjoy the August calm if you’re stuck in a city!

“They” are building a motorway in Ibiza, an island that is about 45km wide at the widest part…insanity. Demo against it here in Barcelona and Pool of Photos on Flickr.

Fim de Semana Comprido em Ibiza

Fui passar a passagem de ano em Ibiza com a Cris, e foi um espectâculo! Grande festa e grandes paisagems. Vimos casas, praias, bosques, restaurantes, bars, mas sobretudo foi muito relax. Custou voltar…

Com a paisagem e todo o feeling do fim de semana, fiquei activado outra vez pra meter-me a fazer mais fotos e, com os meus anos a chegar já, vou aproveitar para começar a fazer fotos digitais decentes com uma camera decente.

Ainda fiz umas quantas fotos que meti no meu album das Ilhas Pitiusas. Espero que tenham curtido o vosso ano novo!
