You may have noticed that here in Ibiza we have an enormous propensity to spend tens of millions of €uros on things we neither want nor need, while for the sake of a few bob projects which can add real value to our daily lives are ignored.
Well blow me down, the powers that be in Santa Gertrudis have at last got their act together and have just started work on the pedestrianisation of the village centre.
If you've ever visited Ibiza's very own 'BMW Bohemia' you'll have seen the main/church square filled with parked cars and the small side streets choked with traffic. Not exactly pleasant for the
hundreds of people who like to sit out in the sunshine on the terraces of the many bars and restaurants in the village.
Santa Eulalia council have quite sensibly sent the flaggers in now – they'll be covering all round the church from the cemetery to the Bar Costa in paving stones – in a project that 'should' last for six months and be finished in time for the busy season.
