Alternative Ibiza?

You are a city boy.
If I had cash in the bank to join the German hippies in Ibiza el campo, I almost certainly would, but have you seen the price of property there? No chance of income worth mentiong, although there is always the internet. It ain't cheap. City is affordable and with more opportunities.
I would actually love to try just a year at least. Incredible little pocket of Ibiza.

I like that picture. I remember many white-painted houses in the countryside (from about 20 years ago when, for my sins, I lived on that strange little island). The picture reminds me of something that impressed me at the time: the very very very thick walls traditional rural Ibizan houses have. Long before architects were involved in designing houses there, the Ibizans knew how to build houses that are wonderfully cool in summer and warm in winter.

The weathery has changed dramatically.
Nice chat with my mate Gunther. Now am looking for my regular bed back in Ibiza town. It is a nice place and just €15 a night. I meet a friend tomorrow. I would like to be showered, rested, and presentable. I suspect she will present herself in my own usual style.
Crazy little island.

classy compared to a rainy night in bognorI am classy as fuck. tell them about my handbag labels and shit
Presented correctly, a rainy night in Bognor would charm the nickers of any girl.
You see, this is where you lose.

it's not the knickers i'd be charming but the girl wearing them. you'd end up with nothing but some slightly soiled underwear
You have a very bad mind. Go away.
This is relentless downpour like I haven't experienced since Santiago de Compostela.
Non-stop. Proper tropical rain. Still very mild though.

You can improve your English now Shit weather here now. I'm locked up in a very snug hotel room running out of cash rapidly. Waiting for the woman of my dreams to say goodbye before she heads home for Christmas.
Then, I think I have to swim to Mallorca to escape here
These pics were just 2 days ago. Everything has now changed!

I got the cold shoulder. No idea why, but they are never bitches. Probably me.
Ibiza is proving to be the most complicated place I have ever worked. I am not enjoying it.
It is one hell of a complicated little mother fucker of a fake town. However, looks like I am staying for a couple of weeks - new jobs have come in today. If you manage to keep yourself to yourself and not get caught up in all the bollocks and pretense here, it can work for you. But, fuck - most complicated little town I have ever come across.
Staying here, then going straight back to Granada for work second week of January. May visit Formantera for a day. Have really enjoyed the countryside and pueblos, but Ibiza town is not for me in winter, never mind summer.
There are many artists trying their thing here. Most who actually live on income from their art sell at the hippy markets. This idea doesn't appeal to me. Putting all your eggs in one basket and not getting much for them. Plenty of credit card toting hippy artists living on mummy and daddy also. A few more established and successful 'real' artists. It is a bit saturated.
All that said, I may well return in spring to paint what I want to paint, because it is incredible in pockets. Hopefully my beautiful friend is still going to welcome me, but she has some explaining to do
I have to paint a mural based on a picture from *Wallpaper magazine (or, somesuch). An imitation piece for a rich family from Moscow. This just about sums Ibiza town up for me. It is well past its sell by date and as fake as fake gets. Well, I don't 'have' to paint a mural...
... cash to live and get home innit.

Formentera: it has beautiful beaches but the landscape is dull (very flat) compared to Ibiza and I think it can be very rainy and windswept in winter.
Palma de Mallorca and the lovely Mallorcan mountains would have more appeal to me if I were going to spend part of the winter in the Balearics. Other attractive Balearic options, though further away: Menorca's two lovely towns, Mahon and Ciutadella.
