CORMORANTS AND SEAGULLS

This one up here remains me the film of Titanic. The cormorants never pay to get on a boat. All these pictures were taken at the Sant Antoni de Portmany´s Bay.

Meanwhile the sea gulls are looking what´s on around... and flying over us.

THE BLUE CALA CONTA

The island is called (espartar), is just infront of the wonderful beach of Cala Conta. The bue of the sea is awesome and specially in a blue sky days.

The cave of the picture down, belongs to figera borda very near of the beach and is surrounded of little houses for the boats (varaderos).



At the far end we can see the "illes bledes" archipielago. and even very near of the coast the blue colour is very nice too.

GOOD FRIDAY

GOOD FRIDAY PROCESSION IN DALT VILA

This is in fact the biggest procession on the island. So the streets of the old town are full of tambor sounds, and silence during the pass of the "cofradias" with their images that belong to the different churches of the Town. The devotion of the people is clear around.

Procession in the rain

At the end of the procession the rain took place, and the "cofradias" in case of rain are always ready to protect their images.

HOLY THURSDAY IN SANT LLORENÇ

The Via crucis, is a procession that is celebrated in each church. Outside there are marks with small churches and they are due this celebration. So in this Thursday I went to Sant Llorenç to see the Via Crucis that they celebrate during the Holy Thursday as the most of the churches. Some others celebrated on the good Friday or the previous sunday.

In Sant Llorenç the folk sings a very very old hymns. They celebrate the procession in the most way of respect and silence.

The traditionals "holy houses" (Cases Santes) are exhibited in every church decorated with many flowers and plants. As a small altar, where the Jesus body is represented during three days. The wine and bread, remains the last dinner of Jesus with the Apostles.

FULL MOON IN SANT LLORENÇ / SAN LORENZO (BALAFI)

Allways the full moon comes on the night of Holy Thursday to Good Friday. In this ocation I was already in Sant Llorenç de Balafia. So the white church is decorated in these pictures with the magic moon light.

IBIZA EVEN IN AMERICA CONTINENT

After some weeks in America, exactly in Costa Rica, was a surprise to see in an office of the main city San José a picture of Ibiza. This picture was a classic on the 70´s decade. This steps are located in Dalt Vila between the Town Hall and the old "Seminario". It´s amazing where you can find pictures of this Island.
