Spain really does have a patron saint for everything.

Spain really does have a patron saint for everything.

This week saw the celebrations for the patron saint of penitentiaries, la Virgen de la Merced. Needless to say, Ibiza gaol joined wholeheartedly in the celebrations with a flamenco spectacular given by Francisco Jiménez 'El Malagueño´, Manuel Moreno, and dancer María Dolores Balaguer accompanied by guitarist Marcial Rodríguez.

The fifty prisoners who witnessed the show were told that if the didn't behave themselves at the 5-a -side football match which followed, they could choose between watching the concert again or 6 months hard labour!
