Santa Ponsa, Mallorca - Portinatx, Ibiza - San Antonio, Ibiza

Welsh Pub in San Antonio


SUNDAY 21 - SUNDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2008

We managed to sail nearly the whole 52 miles to Portinatx in Ibiza but three miles off someone switched the wind off! We went from 5 knots to 0.5 knots. Portinatx is in a lovely bay but has been ruined by very tacky hotels, apartments and bucket and spade shops.

The next day we sailed to San Antonio and as the forecast is not good decided to wait for an improvement before heading off to Formentera. This is the most rain we have seen since April! San Antonio is one of the main tourist developments in Ibiza and a centre for clubbing in Europe. We found a Welsh Pub, and the Barman comes from the Rhondda but doesn’t speak Welsh. Despite being in the heart of Clubland we have not been disturbed at night by loud music.


San Antonio Port Authority: 94.63 (7 nights) The Port Authority Marina seem to be able to operate the computer so it is possible to only pay for water and electricity if they are used!
