The Rolling Stones in Ibiza

Holiday Blog Day 2 (Sunday) and 3 (Monday)
A quick summary because I have to leave soon to take photos of Ibiza's newest 5 star hotel.

We spent Sunday afternoon by the Macao Cafe on Es Codolar. We like it because it's quiet, you can park, it's a pebble beach, so not many kids, and it's dog heaven - there are loads of them!




and finished up with pizza from Can Verge, San Jose's pizzeria with a view.

They make fine pizzas but are lacking in the organisation department.

Here's some advice - if a pizza takes 15 minutes to prepare, and a donner kebab is ready in two, then wait until minute 13 to start on the kebab if your client wants them both ready together to take away.


Monday we had lunch in Amarant at Cala Codolar, the restaurant owned by the son of Terry Thomas.

We ate only fish dishes and drank a wine called Pescador (fisherman). I tried sashimi for the first time and found it so clean on the palate that I vowed never to eat anything that needed cooking again. My vow lasted until my baked dorada (sea bream) appeared!

Then we went home, got changed, piled Marli into the back of the car and headed for some lounging and swimming at Es Codolar. None of the dogs present was interested in playing with Marli so in an effort to prepare her for her forthcoming holiday (more later) I carried her into the sea and set her off swimming in the direction of the shore. I managed this twice before she got wise and wouldn't come anywhere near me, hiding in a seaweed hollow!

We had tapas from Es Galliner for dinner.



And the Rolling Stones?



A codol, as in Es and Cala (two different places) Codolar is a smooth pebble which rolls up and down the beach with the waves!
