WALKING IBIZA – THE WONDER OF TANIT – FRIDAY JANUARY 2 – CALA SAN VICENTE BEACH AT 10.00
It’s the first Friday walk of 2015 and we want this to be the best year ever so let’s start it by showing gratitude to the wonderful Goddess of the island we call home! We’ll be taking the original route that pilgrims have walked for thousands of years to the shrine of Tanit and along the way, you’ll witness where wayfarers used to wash so they were absolutely sparkling clean when they made their offering. You too of course can also leave an offering to Tanit – we’re sure she’d appreciate it….

Merry Christmas everybody! This Saturday we’re going on an expedition to see an incredible sculpture of our maker. Through old paths and fruit groves, we’ll make our way to the little know Christo (Christ) statue.
This huge statue of our Lord could be taken straight from the scene of the famous landmark in South America and is guaranteed to leave a huge impression. You’ll hardly be able to believe your eyes…The statue of Christ the Redeemer is the same as the larger one that stands over the famous Rio de Janeiro in Brazil and was constructed by a Bishop who fled to the hills and evaded capture during the civil war. As a thank you to Christ who protected him he had the statue built.
