Not Part of the Package: A Year in Lbiza

In a blend of analysis and appreciation, the author describes the cultural influences and sensual pleasures that make up Ibiza. At ease sharing a delicious local recipe, describing architecture and history, or charting with self-deprecatory wit the progress of the vineyard he is trying to grow on the island, the author attempts to show a hidden world behind the high-rise hotels that consists of farmers and cooks, politicians and party people, ancient festivals and modern rites.
