Great White Shark Spotted at Talamanca Beach.

Over the past few weeks several people have alerted the Authorities on Ibiza about the presence of a big,12 or 15 feet,creature swimming in the waters around Formentera. More recently people claim to have spotted the same at Talamanca Beach,Ibiza. Considering the fact that most people exaggerate about seize of observed sea inhabitants in general, experts thought they had to deal with a smaller size Nurse shark,a Moon fish or a Manta ray,which are totally inoffensive and have been spotted more in this region of the Mediterranean. However after the last few reports of which one of a local fisherman,in which the description of their observations was very precise, the Authorities haven't any doubts anymore. It concerns a great white shark in this case.

Usually great white sharks do not approach Spain's coasts but they do live in the waters around Sicily. In fact this most southern island of the Mediterranean is the only known spot where great whites are seen in this region of the world. Experts believe that this sharks must have swum all the way from the Sicily waters to ours. Considering that the great white is a long range swimmer this has just been a short trip for him. Until now no accidents or incidents were reported which is quiet logical considering the low season and temperatures,as no one goes for a swim.

Nonetheless the authorities have requested for caution to those fanatics that might consider a swim as well as to the local fishermen in order to avoid a confrontation with this very dangerous shark. The big question is why it came all the way from its habitat to the Ibiza waters.

Perhaps the change in climate could be a reason and are the Sicilian waters becoming to warm for the great whites and started it searching around for colder ones. The migratory behaviour of the great white remains a mystery to scientists though. Personally I think that as soon as the temperatures are rising again during spring the shark will disappear again. After all it is unthinkable that a great white shark would survive long in 25C waters!

Christmas Is Almost Here.

It has been a while since we have posted the last time on this blog. 2007 has been a very busy year for us and we have been doing very well. Lately we have been busy with closing the book year for Hotel Rocamar with all the administrative fuzz what is part there of. Also the undersigned has been very busy working on finishing his own blog as well as other people's web sites and blogs.

For the coming year we have big plans. The restaurant area is being renovated/refurbished at the moment and although we are not sure what we will do with that area be sure it will be something cool. Further it is our intention that this site will be very active and write about the latest developments in the Ibiza clubs or other leisure activities on the island.

Also soon we hope to implement a "ticket" office on this blog. So through the blog you will be able to buy your club tickets for Amnesia,Pacha,Privilege,Space,El Divino and other venues. You pay through your credit card. What is more convenient as buying your tickets through our site? Further we will allow therein interested people to show their advertisements on our blog at a small monthly fee. Contact us if interested as we foresee that traffic will be huge here.

Although as from Jan 2008 the "3 Dark Months" will begin here in which the island is cold and deserted we are sure that we will be very busy again preparing the next season. In a few days it will be Christmas again as you all know and we would like to take the opportunity to wish you all Merry Christmas and a happy 2008.


All the best to you all "Merry Christmas"
