Parador: After years of trying, the central government has given approval for a scheme to convert Ibiza's ancient castle into a Parador - a state run luxury hotel - the only one in the Balearic Islands.
Fireworks: This year's San Cyriac celebrations on the 8th August in Ibiza will have the biggest fireworks display ever. Over €60,000's worth of gunpowder will go up in smoke in the port area of town.
Water: Unhappy residents of Ibiza town have just been hit with no less than a 50% increase in the price of their metered water. It's now 91 cents per cubic metre.
