The Llavanera torrent overflowed this Monday in Vila after the Adam storm left 150 liters per square meter in just 36 hours in the city of Ibiza, 80 of which have fallen since three in the morning. The rainfall has once again caused flooding of streets and commercial establishments, especially in the Pratet neighborhood, one of the hardest hit by the storm. The situation has also forced the closure of numerous roads, complicated access to the airport, and put emergency services on alert due to the rising of torrents in the north and northeast of the island.

The Pityusic wall lizard, one of the most iconic species of the Pityusic Islands, continues in regression at the Ses Salines d'Eivissa Natural Park.

Silence at the disco. The clubs turned off their lights last weekend and, with that, the tourist season can be considered over in Ibiza. The big news of this year's closings was not any new attendance record, nor any memorable DJ set, not even David Guetta's sixth declaration as the best DJ in the world. No: the news was that the model and presenter Cristina Pedroche has become a DJ. Taking advantage of the fact that her husband, the superchef Dabiz Muñoz, has opened a restaurant in Ibiza, the superpresenter debuted as a DJ at the closing of the new StreetXO at Playa d'en Bossa. Because, yes: in Ibiza, restaurants also have closings. In Ibiza, soon even the garbage truck will have a closing when it finishes its shift. Pedroche has become a DJ and has been showered with hate. On social media, they have called her everything, and not very politely. And the presenter was surprised. I don't know why; Kiko Rivera also gets tons of hate in his meteoric career as a singer and disc jockey. Surely Paris Hilton and Pocholo Jiménez-Bordiú were also objects of mockery when they got behind the decks.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Ibiza this Sunday to protest against the airport remodeling project promoted by Aena and to demand that an end be put to mass tourism.

Platges de Comte almost tripled its estimated physical capacity this summer, with 1,513 people at the same time, according to a pilot study by the Ibiza & Formentera Preservation Sustainability Observatory. The data was recorded on August 4 at 3:00 PM, when the beach far exceeded the 537 people it is considered able to accommodate according to the criteria applied in the study.

The goal is to give a strong wake-up call to the administrations, a big one, that cannot be ignored or disregarded. "We are expecting thousands of people," asserts the president of Joves d’Eivissa, Marga Torres. The demonstration will depart on Sunday at 6 PM from Vara de Rey and, with a route of a little over a kilometer, it will pass in front of the Council and end at Reina Sofia park, where a manifesto will be read. The diffusion on social media has been very intense in recent days, carried out in coordination with the platforms against the expansion of the airports in Barcelona and Mallorca. "It was when we learned that a call was going to be made against the expansion of El Prat that we decided it was the moment; afterwards, Mallorca joined in," explains Marga Torres. "I believe there is a favorable social context and that the people of the Pityusic Islands clearly reject the airport expansion," reasons the president.
