Ibiza arts and crafts

|
|
Legendary may be an overused word, but no other description seems appropriate
|
|
when it comes to the island institution that is Las Dalias. Hippy market, art
|
|
gallery, bar, restaurant and rock venue, and much else besides - over the
|
|
years Las Dalias has attracted rock gods from Mick Jagger to Brian May and
|
|
Jimmy Page along with, in high summer, as many as 10,000 a week of us lesser
|
|
mortals.
|
|
|
|
It all began in 1954, when Juan Mari - a local farmer-cum-carpenter in the
|
|
town of Sant Carles, in the north-east of the island - opened a bar and dance
|
|
hall that he had built himself on land he had recently bought. Despite the
|
|
protestations of the local priest, who in those days held considerable power,
|
|
Las Dalias thrived. In the Sixties, when the first tour operators arrived, Las
|
|
Dalias responded with flamenco and barbecue nights. A lull in the Seventies
|
|
was followed by an injection of new life a decade later, when Juanito, Juan's
|
|
son, took over the reins and began the Saturday hippy market. Over the years
|
|
this has become a more authentic version of the original Es Canar market,
|
|
which takes place on Wednesdays (April to October) in the nearby coastal
|
|
resort.
|
|
|
|
Today Las Dalias is a vividly colourful mix of craft, food and music stalls.
|
|
Family friendly, it also remains rooted in its original Eastern vibe. It's as
|
|
if the island's hippies have all grown up, had a good bath and produced some
|
|
surprisingly well-behaved children along the way.
|
|
|
|
At the centre of it all, Juanito and Juan (now 83) are still running the show.
|
|
'My father still orders everyone around just like he did 20 years ago,'
|
|
Juanito told me, 'and he still grows vegetables to sell on market day which
|
|
was the reason he bought the land in the first place.'
|
|
|
|
He remembers when San Carles had no electricity and the day Bob Marley and his
|
|
entourage rolled into town. He is understandably proud of the huge success of
|
|
Las Dalias. 'On the one side you have the hippies and on the other you have
|
|
the islanders themselves. I am Ibicenco. I am proud of our traditions. Las
|
|
Dalias brings the two together. It's the true heart of our island.'
