I will continue for the third consecutive week to publish another selection of beautiful colour pictures that I've taken of the island during this particular period of the year to express yet again how dazzling the winter can be here on Ibiza.

Throughout the winter and spring the sky here is perfectly clear blue with the whole island constantly full of glorious colourful flowers spouting up everyday and the countryside is lush and green with a magnificent multi-coloured hedgerow.

These are the ideal days for folk you like to walk or take a drive around the island to discover parts that you would never dream of having the time to unearth during the hot and dry summer months.

The mainland of Spain, which is over 80 miles away from the island of Ibiza, can only be seen clearly like this during the winter months when the atmosphere is clear of the extensive heat from the summer sun.
