Ladies, circle the date July 8th boldly in red on your calendars because that's the day the summer sales start in Ibiza. There'll be a headlong rush for discounted retail therapy on that day as every shop in town must, by law, start its sales on the same day.
This year the start date has been brought forward by a week from previous years and shopkeepers are already questioning the wisdom of selling at discounted prices when town is full of tourists eager to part with their cash. We are, however, not complaining.
