Ibiza Council To Ban Morning Clubbing

Balearic newspaper 'El Dario' announced last week that council officials in Sant
Josep of sa Talaia have approved measures to force clubs to close between 6am and
midday next season, effectively outlawing 24 hour clubbing throughout the island.

Sant Antoni de Portmany (home to night-time clubs Eden, Privilege and Amnesia)
passed similar legislation last year though Sant Joseph is more significant because
daytime clubbing institutions Space, Bora Bora and DC10 are all based in the
district.

Council chief Paquita Ribas said clubs violating the rules will be heavily fined and
even closed for the entire season though claimed 'tourism is not going away to
suffer' on the grounds that most clubbers 'consume little, do not visit the rest of
the island and only attend the parties'.

Ms Ribas' comments came soon after the Diario de Ibiza newspaper quoted the
President of Ibiza's council as saying clubs attract 'a lower quality of tourist'
which didn't presumably include recent island resident James Blunt who this week
stressed his distaste of high end conspicuous consumption.

"I hate the obsession with celebrity - what you are wearing, whether you are cool.
I'd never go out and buy myself diamonds. I don't do flash cars or clothes. I'm not
really into possessions, " the multi-millionaire pop star and keen clubber told
reporters.

"In London, I'll get the Underground or the bus and I'd rather go to a pub more than
some amazing restaurant," said James, "When I go to Ibiza, I'll go on a budget
airline." (Bang Media)

Well that nearly takes the Ibiza out of Ibiza now does it.

'most clubbers 'consume little, do not visit the rest of the island and only attend the parties'

How nice of them to bring their guests down like that.
