The first part of my life had felt like the last scene in La Dolce Vita, where Mastroianni is on a beach, and a little boy is talking to him, and he can’t hear a single word.  I had been living in my art, that was certain, but never could enter into the things of the world.  My sentiments, deeper thoughts, and dreams, were all the stuff of work, to be tempted to move from their state as raw material into something that I could play with and draw patterns on.  I was lost in a maze that the past few decades had created, and no longer cared who was responsible for all the knots.  This would be a perfect opportunity to get to Singapore, and see what a new perspective might offer.

Sitting in a restaurant where Italian food sparks up the place, feeding ethereal as well as physical hungers, is something close to paradise.  It doesn’t take long to get there, and it’s always a luxurious wait when you are finally smelling garlic roasting and eating small bits of bread to save your appetite.  I knew how to eat, however, and didn’t need more opportunities, and actually could have been able to skip a meal like a camel skipping water.  No one would notice, and it might be better for the long travel ahead.  But I am unable to say no to some things.

It would be similar enough to paradise to count as such, then, to celebrate a landmark birthday, this kind of passage, that means a simple transition is to be made, or perhaps that one had already been crossed.  In this case, however, I am resigned philosophically to days of contemplation and the memory of the girls in the summer dresses, but instead I am dancing in the fountain with Ekberg.  This shift is not simply related to the garlic, but is, rather, the direct result, and opens the place where we can hear the words of children.

When many people consider a common association to the southern states one of the first things that comes to mind is southern hospitality. Almost immediately after that comes southern food, which is frequently the one that tourists staying in one of the hotels Carolina wish they could take with them. And frequently recipes of their favorite dishes are what they consider to be primary souvenirs from their trip. In fact, for many locals and testified by visitors the two common associations of hospitality and great food often go hand in hand.

Southern food and great taste become synonymous to many tourists who visit these cities and states and it is a reputation they hold in pride. And while many of the dishes may sound common enough, or by name may lack a particular regional quality to them, when they are cooked and prepared in the Carolinas, they take on a meaning and flavor all their own. This true for foods like slow cooked baby back ribs and great deserts such as peach cobbler just to name a couple. Even the way stews and soups are prepared become unique to their location and it is common for people to travel back to one particular small town diner, which is the only place they can find their favorite pulled pork sandwich or chicken pot pie.

The spices that are used throughout the Carolinas and the southern states are one of the major aspects of their cuisine distinction. Cajun foods are common to many regions and as a whole are pretty spicy. Mustard, particularly Creole mustard, brown sugar, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, paprika and red pepper are common staples for spices used in southern cooking. And of course most breakfast plates are served with a healthy portion of grits. Regardless of your personal taste, indulging in some of North and South Carolina’s great cuisine is an essential aspect of most vacations.

There is a great Ibiza Restaurant, well most of the restaurants are great, really. I took a walk along the marina on day and my choice of restaurants were endless. I made sure to go out every evening, around 8pm, because that’s when Ibiza comes alive with people. I estimate around 1000 people walking around the marina front and through the small lovely back streets trying to chose from the plethora of cafes, pubs and restaurants. Fish is the best here, it’s as fresh as it can be, straight from the Mediterranean sea. Most of the seafood restaurants have tanks outside on the open-air patios full of shellfish. The back streets manage to fit tables outside anywhere they can, there’s barely enough room for a passer bye to stroll through.

I found the Santa Eulalia, the San Antonio and the Cala Llongs to have some of the most delicious food to offer. I heard some people thing that San Antonia is strictly for beer drinking, but that’s so totally wrong. San Antonio can not only serve a great tasting beer, but quality food.

Below, I’ve give a list of some of the other restaurants to try while in Ibiza. You won’t be disappointed by any of these choices.

Davids Pizzeria: He make the best pizza and the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted. His pricing is reasonable and he has a special deal almost every night. I got a small pizza and a soft drink for less that 10 pounds.

Then, for a nice fish place, try Fishermans Kitchen: The menu is varied and offers appetizers and main meals. They had a daily selection of delectable, mouth watering specials. The chef here also makes some of the delicious meals for San Antonio

For Thai, try the Banyan Palace: Excellent Thai food served inside an enclosed private garden. It is on the expensive side, but it is the best Thai in Ibiza.

Now, I really recommend not missing Chiringuito Restaurant: it’s located in a private cove on the Cala Gracionetta beach. It’s the best restaurant. Go there. Eat and enjoy. You’ll be back more than once.
