Your average Ibicenco will spend €851

A detailed analysis of the Christmas spend per person in Ibiza and the Balearics has just been released by the Spanish equivalent of the consumer organisation. Your average Ibicenco will spend €851 this year in the festive season. Well behind the figure of €965 in Madrid and below the mean figure of €858 for all Spain.

The statistics were further broken down into different categories giving the following results

Category            Ibiza €                 Spanish €

Presents             254                     252

Lottery               130                     134

Food                  230                     232

Entertainment      237                     240

The stats put the Balearics in 7^th position out of the17 provinces of Spain. Oddly enough, the Catalans, who enjoy the same tight-fisted reputation as the Scots were the second biggest spenders in the country – miles ahead of the Extremadurians who were left propping up the table with a spend of only €800 per person.
