If it's the 1st of December, then it must be time to switch on the festive illuminations in Ibiza town. The Vara de Rey is 'Christmas Central' for Ibiza with the tree, Christmas Market, Craft Market, amusements and no end of food stalls.
Christmas figures on sale at the market
The big switch on takes place at 18.00 today but in a cost saving exercise the lights will burn for one hour less than in previous years – until midnight on weekdays and 01.00 on weekends.
A notable absentee from the Christmas scene this year will be the Art Supermarket which has opened for 17 years on the trot, but this year is feeling the effects of the recession but hopes to be back in 2011.
