TO SEE IT BIGGER!

La marina is one of the most popular areas of old Ibiza. The people, the bars, the restaurants and the Ibiza streetdogs. The best yoghurt is made there the legendary "Lecheria la bomba" on the port , natural and real yoghurt made everyday again! You had Can Garoves and Bar Casino and the bar Estrella of course for your morning cafe con leche with ensaimada, for those who skipped the Montesol. You had the famous chicken place from Juanito "Bar Bahia" where all the bohemian Ibiza artists had lunch during the old days. There was "The delfin verde" from Isa Schillinger and Emilio, one of the better restaurants of the island during the sixties and seventies. Totos bar owned by Luis, Savoy Bar from Cirillo, The anfora de oro, Clive's Bar, Domino's , Merlins and later the Mono desnudo and others but, Ibiza in the 1950s was a bit different. La Marina was even more authentic and pure..It was still very much a fishermen area with its 'very' local fishermen's bars. This unique ambience stayed untill c.a. 1975 and very slowly became what it became.
