Ibiza: The White Island



Cat Stevens graced the harbour terraces with “Moonshadow”. Pink Floyd basked in the Mediterranean sun before every European tour - they even composed Ibiza Bar here for Barbet Schroeder’s film More. Folk music legend Joni Mitchell wrote part of her famous album, Blue, here. Bob Marley, Eric Clapton and Thin Lizzy held concerts in the island’s first major rock venue, an arena that has since been destroyed. “I believe it is impossible to escape Ibiza. Once you’ve shown some interest, you become a prisoner. It’s like a siren call” summarises former Monty Python and Brazil’s crazy director, Terry Gilliam. An almost irresistible siren call.
