Or is it sheek????
If you know how to make good money plucking your own eyebrows you should do OK here. You need to make enough to pay for your substandard coke habit mind. All the art is in your own mirror.
The humidity has to be mentioned. Lay a sketch out at the wrong moment and it becomes saturated. I love Granada for the dry. Dry is good for your bones and good for your lungs. Perhaps not so good for your skin, but skin is superficial crap really.
I couldn't live happily here. Too much nonsense.

Can I refer you to some previous posts? It is beautiful. I am picking up nice work. Good company. Good fun. This isn't what I would call shit compared to England in December.
I haven't tried the prison yet mind

Spain doesn't really do chic IME. It is far too blunt. Sitges comes close out of season, and I think an English travel writer described Leon as being chic. Leon is certainly a bit more sophisticated than most places in Spain. There isn't an English word for chic, hence we use the French chic - it is a French thing that most English don't get.
Granada can be very chic at times, but generally, it is more in your face. I think chic vanished in the 60's just before the 15 minute promise started to arrive. Chic used to be unobtainable. Now we can all buy into it, which isn't very chic at all.
My English comp' education was pretty shit TBH. A waste of my time and the teachers time.

'elegant'?
No. Chic isn't elegant. Elegance is a stance rather than a style. Chic is more mysterious.
Audrey Hepburn was chic. She probably still is in spirit.

OMG! The humidity!!! It is the sort of non-rain that gets you wet.
I have never experienced this sort of humidity before. I have to tell people to let my sketches dry when they get home.

I think chic seems more mysterious because it's a French word; but that the two words are actually synonymous.
No. The Two words are very different.
Chic in the context we know it today was born out of the 60's.
Hollywood glam came from the 50's.
Chic doesn't actually exist anymore!
Anyway...
Anyway counts. Complicated little fuck shit this city is. I really do not like, but I have just taken a 50 to pay for bed and stuff. Thank you German people.

Did I mention the mosquitoes yet? Loads of them in December.

No, you didn't! Ibiza is becoming less and less tempting.
El campo is beautiful. Fabulous beaches also. I think Ibiza town would be a very different experience as a holiday maker rather than a cash maker. Glad I came for a visit, and I will return, but TBH I think Susa is the only reason I will return - she is a very beautiful and special person. Ibiza is not for me. Too cliquey. Too backwards. Too much pretense. Too many mosquitoes. As soon as I have finished agreed work I'll be heading straight back to Granada. Erm... possibly.

Do you think Ibiza will be the same as Santiago de Compostela - you keep talking about leaving and yet stay there for a couple of years?
By the way, Santiago is totally different from 2010. It's now lovely and relaxed, no police guarding the Cathedral, I really enjoyed myself this time.

Santiago de Compostela is, and always will be the most racist, backwards, forgotten corner of Western Europe for me. It lacks cultural depth. Sorry!
Ibiza is actually being very good to me despite my complaints. It is backwards in many respects. There isn't a Muslim community worth mentioning. It is all cliques of German, English, French and Italian. The Spanish aren't sure if they are Catalan, or not.
It is an intriguing place. I see my black friends taking shit here and encourage them to answer back, but it is not nearly as monocultural as Santiago.
I stayed in Santiago for just 5 months whilst enjoying the company of Diana. She is a gem amongst twats
Ibiza is a very different sort of place. My own preference will always be Granada,or Leon. I came here thinking about a more permanent plan, but Granada remains my ideal.
I have to mention your good company also of course.
There are no police in Santiago now because it isn't a holy year, and it isn't tourist season. Police work in Spain is as seasonal as any other work.

I was also in Santiago in the holy year of 2004 and it was police-wise very quiet. I don't know what was wrong with 2010
Anyway, sorry about derailing your Ibiza thread!
Any Holy year during winter would be quiet.
Can't remember if I told you about the time a crazy woman put a knife to my throat in Plaza Quintana?
It is relevant, so I will tell it publicly.
I was sitting in the plaza enjoying a morning coffee with brandy and a cigarette whilst reading my text messages (as you do these days/those days? (2010?)). A woman approached mt and asked for a cigarette. "Sorry, this is my last one". She swore at me and left.
10 minutes later she reappeared and thrust a knife to my throat. I tried to calm her and stood slowly. She then threw a screaming fit. The police who had been in plaza all of the time rushed to her defense. She told them she knew me (I had never seen her before) blah blah blah. Gave an entire story.
Thankfully, one of the police had seen the entire event.
He came and appollogised. The woman was left to go with no questions, nor charge.
I then tried to explain to the police that this wasn't good for tourists, or students. I can handle a situation like that. Most people can. But, a foreign tourist, or student may have reacted very differently.
I met the same policeman in Granada almost a year later. He was policing Semana Santa. He asked if I remembered him.
Very few police here at this time of year. Out of season holiday island. Virtually no crime worth mentioning. Where you going to take your stolen car? How many roads out? In this respect, out of season Ibiza is cool as fuck. I can leave my sketches, bags, coat, cash in the plaza unattended for a full lunch break knowing there will be more there when I get back.

Only the cuddly cute things the gypsies try to erm... 'sell' at the fair.

French bollocks.
Vast improvement. 8/10 and a gold star for the French connection. Punctuation and use of capitals could improve.
If bottox is chic, then I guess Ibiza is.
