I lived in Ibiza in 1971 and 1972, frequented a bar named "La Tarántula" in old Ibiza town with my friends Peter (don't remember Peter's surname at the moment) & Paul Turner from the UK. Prior to this I lived with Wolfgang Schmidt from Germany in San Miguel de Allende in a holiday flat during the off-season (I think we paid around 50 USD/month) before taking an ill-fated trip with Wolfgang and new friends Peter and Paul to Morocco where we drove off a cliff en route on the windy roads outside Motril, Spain. Surviving the accident with cuts and bruises, we continued our trip via bus. Peter Paul and I were turned away at the Moroccan border multiple times due to our long hair. Wolfgang eventually made it through, Peter Paul & I returned to Ibiza We became very friendly with the owners of "La Tarántula", brothers Luis and Antonio. When they found out we were sleeping in caves in the old town, they offered us a place to sleep in the bar in exchange for cleaning up for the next day's opening. Eventually we moved back to San Miquel where we lived in a rustic farm house. We would walk all night to get home after the bars closed in Ibiza town. If this rings a bell with anyone, I would love to hear from you. My days spent in Ibiza were some of the happiest days of my life.

Where are all the well known painters of the 1960s mentioned. One example would be Bob Munford (USA), another Manolo Mompó (Spanish)......And what about the Galería Vedra, commonly known as Galería Ivan Spence......Sandy's Bar in Santa Eulalia (officially the Black Horse) - not mentioned?And so much more...I arrived at the age of 9, i 1959. My mother built a house just outside Santa Eulalia. The only house on what is now an urbanization. There was an English speaking school there, organised by Felicity, and later on another one started up by John Walker.Who runs this site? Who are you?Christal (then, Walker)

I lived in Ibiza from '65 > '69, left when the invasion began. Primarily in Santa Eulalia and further out on the campos. Didn't spend much time in Ibiza, to 'crowded'. Art's Bar, Sandy's, The Black Cat. Rise at noon for breakfast on the Ramlas with Fundador and Hierbas. Many wonderfui, sometimes hazy, memories. Sitting in the tower of Terry Thomas' finca hand painting tiles for his bathroom, listening to Radio Morocco, head full of hash and eyes swimming in the ocean. Up for 24 hours with Art roasting a pig for one of Nina's bacchanals, as always very well 'fortified', including Owsley I think, but I forget. Timeless days in Graham Coughtry's finca where the opium in in the communal bowl seemed as endless as the time. Working with Felicity at her school for expatriate young'uns. No interest in returning to see what destruction man has wrought - again.Now at 70 I give thanks for and remember:-https://www.youtube.com,/watch?v=uTFtz5hwO3w

A chance discovery of a secondhand copy Penguin paperback edition of "A Narrow Street" introduced me to the USA born author Elliott Paul; then I managed to purchase a copy of "Life and Death of a Spanish Town", of particular interest, because many years ago I enjoyed a holidays in Cala LLonga and Santa Eulalia. Would Martin Davies be prepared to email a copy of his article written about Elliot Paul, please? I am a graduate (1968) of Newcastle University, where he spent a short spell as a post graduate student.

My mother owned a house in D'Alt Vila on what was once Obispo Torres very close to Galeria Ivan Spence Ibiza from roughly 1964 through 2005. Iwas surprised to see that your artists section did not have the names of David Walsh a major Ibiza presence in the early 1960's or even Alberto Porta A/K/A Zush. I still own art by both these artists, though I wish now that I had more. Anyone who has some of their work and might like to sell it, please contact me at lggardner@me.com
