Ibiza Gold Dust



What a pine in the neck!


Not without good reason are Ibiza and Formentera known as the 'Pine Islands.' They're covered in them. Even today, after all the development of recent years, around 50% of Ibiza is still virgin pine forest.


Every February they pollenate and cover everything in a fine golden yellow dust as the wind blows through the trees.

It's no coincidence that there are lots of bleary eyed, sneezing people about this month!
