It's the smell of garlic and olive oil, people are sitting outside having lunch in the small streets of Ibiza town at la marina. Salvador Dali (Normally at port Lligat and costa brava area) having lunch with the young fixer, communicator and child pioneer consultant Sydney (Lord Sydney Ling) The beginning of a relationship which Dali called 'Mol interesant' The roasted chicken smell from Juanito's Bar Bahia mixes the smells of Tony's Los Pasajeros next door, combined with the smoke from Sam's hamburgers place annex Los Pasajeros. On the same table we see american writer and longtime Ibiza legend Steve Seley and the dutch artist Alain Teister. Dali who didnt like children at all adopted the young Sydney for his communication skills and for clearing-up mis communications with art buyers and publishers, the same stuff the young Sydney use to do for Steve Seley and other artists. This lunch was organized by the young Sydney to introduce Steve and Alain who wanted to meet Dali. Steve's other wish was for Sydney to take him on a boat trip to Es Vedra and to the Cala d'Hort. The three gentlemen were also the motivators behind the young Sydney when he started to paint and it was Dali and Teister who pushed him with this, in turn Sydney introduced art buyers to them apart from his other pr skills, later Salvador would take the young Sydney with him on other small trips and ventures in Barcelona and on the costas. Beatles music coming out of Bar Isleno, dogs barking like hell, gypsy families screaming to one another from the balcony and motorcycles adding more noice and smoke to the scene, Elmyr Dehory passing by, only saying hallo to Steve and young Sydney. Lunches at Los Pasajeros were among the most bohemian lunches on Ibiza during the good old days, specially for those fed up eating the same old chicken at Juanito's.
