we went half term week,oct 22 to 29th,and yes some places were closing down,but every where we wanted to go was open,the boats and buses were running as usual,the hippy market was on,difficult to get ice creams from the bars as they had wound stock down,but so what.we had a laugh one day on cala nova beach at the beach bar when they completly ran out of lager,and i showed the kids up by exclaiming loudly "" as if,how can you run out of lager"especially when they offered san miguel zero i.e. alcohhol free, i mean im in ibiza
but then the kids got ideas and though it would be a good idea for them to order this at the restaurant that nite
the kids got to go to the dodgems once,the other nights it seemed to break down then close.my eldest got some good shoe bargins (converse, cheaper than uk.) we were so lucky with the weather,if it had rained a lot,im sure it wouldnt have been the same,but we all really enjoyed our holiday in es cana and would go back asap.i did find the beaches not as tidy as in high season,but seaweed is a natural part of nature and its only people that litter.so if the price is right,take a gamble and book. mo
