According to Nostradamus, Ibiza Island will be the only place supporting human life after nuclear disaster; “Ibiza will be Earth’s final refuge after Armageddon”. He predicted that Ibiza’s peculiar prevailing wind patterns will ensure that it is be the only remaining life supporting environment left on Earth.
The early Phoenicians believed that Ibiza Island was a magical place that had been blessed by the gods. The rich red soil is non volcanic. No animal, plant, reptile or insect capable of harming man can survive here. Nowadays, many of the locals still wear pendants containing the “sacred soil” in order to protect them from harm.
The enigmatic Island of Es Vedra rises dramatically from the waters of Cala D’Hort. Curiously, no living thing can survive on the island. It’s completely devoid of life. In times past, Carmelite priests have claimed to have recorded “mystical revelations” here, and that they have had encounters with “unearthly being surrounded by white light” while meditating there.
Nowadays fishermen still avoid the area. A strong magnetic force is said to emanate from Es Vedra, resulting in gigantic circles of light emerging from the sea and various other unexplained phenomena…
One thing’s for the sure, Ibiza has a strange magnetism for attracting creative talent from all over the globe. It has an extremely high concentration of international talent for such a tiny island. People find inspiration and fulfilment from the “Ibicenco way of life” - a simple natural alternative to modern stressful living. Everything is “Tranquillo”. A word used to mean finding inner peace and harmony with nature.
