Business Abroad
“(Bartu Riera) Was an extraordinary chap - he turned from a corporate jackal to one of life’s slower paced tree huggers.”
“Ibicenco” (a man whose long distant heritage comes from the island). In the last couple of months, he’s turned from a corporate jackal to one of life’s slower paced tree huggers.
He’s
made a statement and opened his doors from January to fall for travellers all over the
world to visit his island and stay within his grounds for free. He said “I want to make travelling here an option for those that can’t afford it. Last year I hosted over 105 groups of people with less money in their holiday budgets than years previous. I see that as 105 more people than would have come here if it wasn’t for my hospitality, so that feels good for me.” I felt a charitable spirit exists within Bartu, like many others here on these islands that I’d met. Admirable, no question.
So finally, like Mallorca, I hit every corner of the island and explored territories that even in my wildest dreams I never thought existed here. The death-defying winding coastal drive of Port de Valldemossa in Mallorca, and the most iconic clifftop view of a formation of rocks at sunset at Es Vedra in Ibiza. A day trip on the ferry to Formentera was explored for one day too, and I threw back the years by opting for a motorbike as my mode of transport. Within 15 minutes, I’d travelled from one side of the island to the other, leaving long pristine beaches in my wake. I could go on, but I’d turn this into some lip-salivating attempt of a guide for the Lonely Planet. Just understand when I say, that it only takes one drive to an unknown destination to ever wonder how on British shores, places like “Magaluf” and “Ibiza” ever become the main buzzword for each island. Its people, its lifestyle, its splendour, its beauty and its character – there’s a story here in the Balearics and it could have your name on it.
Millions agree, and each year, millions take advantage. Some for memories, some for business.
