EIVISSA,THE OLD DAYS.

2006-09-21T14:24:00.000-07:00

Eivissa (Ibiza) the old days were the days of joy where many nationalities joined eachoter in the morning for the famous 'cafe con leche' at the Bar Estrella. The 1930's, 1940's 1950's and early sixties were already quite bohemian and pioneers, writers, painters and other artists were working and enjoying life from the magic white island, way before the hippies came. When talking about the real Ibiza days or, the so called golden epoque or good old days, we are talking about the 1960s and 1970s. Many Ibiza legends and artists will tell you that the best time on Ibiza was from 1966 till maximum 1975. After there was still the post-golden epoque which stopped in 1980 and, 1982 was the end of the whole show as we knew it. American writer Steve Seley was one of the very first personalities to have known the old Ibiza and all its local bars and personalities. Most of the old days 'pioneers and artists' were from English, Irish, Dutch,German and American orgin, followed by other nationalities.

Island of artists, eccentrics, legends, living legends and mystery. Ibiza is and has always been the center of the world in many ways according to quite a few speciaists in history. Many legendary figures came by, spent time or lived on the island. (For those interested in modern local Ibiza happenings itself or other info should visit other local sites) such as http://www.ibiza.es/ Ibiza Times, the old days is a intimate site for those who know and knew Ibiza). Ibiza has always played some kind of an important role, one way or another..Ibiza also had many street dogs in the sixties and seventies. Many writers wrote about them and some of those dogs were quite famous. They were part of everyones dailiy life and they were very social. The locals didnt like them very much and dogcatchers would come after them in the late seventies (Peter Kinsley also writes about them in his book - Bogged down in county lyric) The young Sydney who they also called king of the dogs and the emperor (for helping and saving them) and who is a son of the island saved them during several years from the dog catchers. He not only saved the Ibiza street dogs but, also the lifes of quite a few locals and foreigners . The famous dogs from la marina (Ibiza town) included i.e. FATTY, TIKI and LINDA aka the gang of three.

http://www.screenonline.org.uk/people/id/461962/index.htm and the young Lord Sydney Ling http://lordsydneylingmanagement.blogspot.com/ were spending time in Ibiza's calle Mayor at Waunas Bar with quite a few other names, colleagues and Ibiza friends. The calle Mayor street was still rough and dusty in those days and Ibiza's daily life was still quite bohemian. Waunas Bar was owned by actress, producer, manager Wauna Paul, who was also an old friend of Terry and Sydney, she organized some of the first Ibiza in crowd parties at her home near San Jose with her friend Princess Indy. The young Sydney organized his first private monthly gatherings between artists and other members of society on Ibiza when he was nine years old at the finca in San Rafael and in D'alt vila, he was the youngest private consultant,, artist and communication expert at the time.

Photo above shows the last picture taken of the late Terry-Thomas with Lord Sydney during Sydney's last visit to Terry on Ibiza in 1981. With thanks to photographer Jorge Drew for the photograph.

Ibiza, the golden epoque of bohemians, hippies, artists and special people. Ibiza of the 1960's and 1970's ... Ibiza saw many people coming and going and, Ibiza also had its permanent artists and local celebrities..The list is very long! There were also quite a few famous people living hidden away in the campo, mountens, small villages, etc..Ibiza in the old days was a great joy for everyone! Ibiza bohemians and artists would meet during morning hours at Bar Estrella or later in the afternoon at the small local bar called Catalina's ....Typical local lunches would take place at La Noguera, Los pasajeros or

at Juanito's Bar Bahia at the port. Those with more money also went to Alfredo's. The Montesol, Bar Cristal, Bar Alhambra and Bar Serra were all quite popular at the time as well but, that was traditionally morning business. Most bohemian legends and artists would go in the afternoon to the real hideaway bars. In the 1950's Eivissa (Ibiza) had quit a few authentic fishermen bars and bohemian hang-out restaurants. La Noguera, Juanito Bahia and Los Pasajeros were only just a few of the places where people like John Anthony West, Steve Seley, J.G.Toonder and Bernie Bishop would go for lunch. Dali visited Ibiza, Orson Welles was there for a period as well as for his film F.for fake. Terry-Thomas, Denholm Elliot, Peter Kinsley. Pink Floyd, Kevin Ayers, Mike Oldfield, The Bee Gees and communications pioneer Lord Sydney Ling who started his many careers on the island and making his first artisanal Ibiza films. Steve Seley wrote his books from there and, who didnt??? The list goes on and on! The island of joy where freedom and joy were the leading actors.

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.

IBIZA THE OLD AND THE NEW OVER THE YEARS.

2006-09-14T14:20:00.000-07:00

Ibiza will be Earth's final refuge' - predicts Nostradamus
According to the predictions of Nostradamus, the 15th century French astrologer & physician, when nuclear disaster wipes out most life on Earth, the peculiar prevailing wind patterns over Ibiza will ensure that it is the sole remaining life-supporting environment
-
The island of Es Vedra, rising from the waters off Cala D'Hort supports no venomous living thing. The Carmelite priest Don Francisco Palau, founder of the convent at Es Cubells, meticulously recorded mystical revelations and meetings with 'unearthly beings surrounded by light' while meditating there. Gigantic circles of light, up to 50 metres diameter, emerging from the sea have discouraged fishermen from this area. A strong magnetic force is said to emanate from Es Vedra, attracting unexplained phenomena
-
Creative talents
That Ibiza has a strange magnetism for creative talents is a fascinating reality. It's no secret that Ibiza boasts the greatest concentration of international talent on a tiny island. They have found inspiration and fulfilment from the simple, spiritually enriching, Ibicenco way of life. 'Tranquilo', the most popular Ibicenco word, means 'Finding Inner Peace in Harmony with Nature'

SALVADOR DALI AND LORD SYDNEY LING, FROM IBIZA TO BARCELONA TO PORT LLIGAT.

2006-09-14T13:54:00.000-07:00

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.

Friends on Ibiza and worldwide with many, from Bob Marley to french star Patrick Dewaere (Sydney is an old friend of the whole family including his mother Mado Maurin and her son actor Jean-Pierre Maurin) to David Carradine or to the family of rock pioneers to De Rothschild or Klaus Kinski and from Freddie Mercury to Sergio Leone to the local priests of the island or from Serge Gainsbourg and Orson Welles to Andre Pousse or Fernando Rey to Jacques Villeret or Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu and from Manitas de Plata back to Lee van Cleef.

THE WAUNAS BAR SCENE AND THE SILENCE OF THE SIESTA.

2006-09-10T15:37:00.000-07:00

Waunas bar from Actress, producer/manager Wauna Paul was one of the most famous Ibiza bars in the old days. (Everything leads back to this place one way or another) The calle Mayor was the place to be. The place to meet new people who just landed on the island and the place to see living legends interacting with eachother. The bar where you could see Wauna Paul and Indy doing their regular show with clients. The bar where you saw very special visitors come by such as King Juan Carlos, the young Lord Sydney Ling with Tristan Jones and Paul George, Terry-Thomas, Peter Kinsley and the old international inner circle of Ibiza town. Sometimes full of people, sometimes just a lost soul all by himself sitting in a corner, like old scandinavian Gustave. The calle Mayor was the nerve center and hang out for most foreigners and Ibiza insiders. Before Wauna took the place, it was called Bud's Bar owned by Bud. Wauna's was the place where it happened and the place to get information about all the gossip, specially during the 1960's and 1970's.
Photo's above - Wauna. Jimmy Bordoy, Sydney and Lady Adriana in front of Wauna's bar during the siesta in the late sixties.

D'ALT VILA, THANK GOD IT STILL EXISTS

2006-09-10T14:59:00.000-07:00

The nicest part of Ibiza town, is the most famous part of the capital, D'ALT VILA, better known as the old town. Many writers and painters lived there during the 1960s and 1970s and there you will find some of the best galleries of the island. During the old days there were many parties and music-juergas between the artistic incrowd of Ibiza and, many famous hitsongs and TV series were written from here. D'alt vila has undergone a few changes but, it is still the same old romantic old town as ever.

Thank god for protecting this old town and thanks as well to UNESCO for listing it. Thanks also to Lord Sydney for keeping old Ibiza in it's famous ambiance and thanks for the nice pictures.

IRVING SHULMAN AND LORD SYDNEY LING.

2006-09-10T14:38:00.000-07:00

Ibiza knew many special foreigners and cosmopolitans, even in the very early days. You had the elite, the entrepreneurs, the businessmen, the stars (incognito) and international personalities who all came from time to time, or had their second homes on Ibiza. This already started way before the hippy epoque. Quite a few pioneers, artists, writers, painters and bohemians were already in town in the fifties. The 1960s were the real top-days, followed by the 1970s.

The young Sydney (in the old days) was also the youngest confidential consultant and communicator to quite a few Hollywood studio heads and other personalites of that epoque. The Stein lunches of Irving, Sydney, David and Jules were not always limited to El Olivo, San Telmo, Alfredo"s on Ibiza but, would also take them to quite a few Parisian bistros.

IBIZA ISLAND OF DOGS, WHERE DOGS RULED THE STREETS.

2006-09-10T04:14:00.000-07:00

CLICK ON THE PICS TO SEE THEM BIGGER!

Ibiza in the 1960s and 1970s was

also famous for its streetdogs. The island counted many different kind of streetdogs apart from the original island dog "The Podenco"

Ibiza streetdogs where famous and everywhere and, mostly hanging and sleeping in bars. Waunas bar and bar la Manana were famous dog bars with their own cosy corners and water supply. These dogs also kept an eye on downtown Ibiza and on their human friends. Anyone trying to harm or disagree with with their solid Ibiza dog philosophy would have to go through their insulting barking speeches. These insider dogs also attacked cars and noisy motor cycles when they came into the La Marina area. First because they hated the uncivilized noice and also because they knew the people who were driving them, the doghaters. Ibiza insider dogs were not just dogs. These dogs were experienced and social streetdogs,wild, intelligent and bohemian. Ibiza celebrity streetdogs inlcuded Fatty, Tiki and Linda, also known as the gang of 3. Photos above > Statue of child prodigy Sydney of Ibiza with dog. Ibiza Dogs, the old days the wild documentary and camera of the young Lord Sydney Ling following the life of the Ibiza street dogs.

Ibiza island of bohemians, artists, special people and much more! Drinking on Ibiza ...was real drinking! Many bohemian artists were not just alcoholics but, were drinkers with a reason if not, many reasons. Only a few professional drinkers survived the old days. Ibiza without bars or bohemian hideaway bodegas would not have been the same Ibiza for many foreign artists. Many hours of joy were spent in the Ibiza bars at the La Marina area and other areas. Bohemians would also meet frequently at their fincas (if they had one) and enjoy the original absinth or the locally made hierbas (The real one) and other drinks. Catalina's bar was one of those small places specialized in the real Absinth..We repeat the real Absinth! The same thing at Bar El Dorado, although the owner was less entertaining and flex compared to Catalina. Dont look for them, these Bars do not exist anymore.Finito!!!

The small bars were owned by locals and were the perfect hideaways for elite and bohemians during the siesta hours. We remember the young Sydney (See above) who was a great communicator and who knew all the secret paths to the insider bars and places on the island.

As a little boy of eight years old he took many bohemians and artists on bohemian tours and introduced them to these old typical bars and bodegas.

Other regular Ibiza insiders would go for the Gin and tonics, Wodka orange or the Whiskey Coke..When we speak about bohemian drinkers, we refer to those who knew how to enjoy a typical local Ibiza drink not just to full-time alcoholics.

STEVE SELEY AND LORD SYDNEY LING.

2006-09-08T17:49:00.000-07:00

Photos above STEVE and SYDNEY and down Steve Seley and Lord Sydney Ling at the Tavern in the old Calle de la Virgin.

American writer Steve Seley and the amazing communcation wizard Lord Sydney Ling were old Ibiza friends and for many years. Sydney not only translated Steve's publishing contracts but, was frequently the negotiator and go between to get the job done. Steve Seley has been living on Ibiza since the 1950s and is one of the oldest Ibizan incrowd legends. For those interested in Seley's live on Ibiza, we suggest to read the brilliant books by Peter Kinsley who has written several books on his personality. Writer Peter Kinsley is an old friend of Steve Seley aswell as of Lord Sydney Ling.

THE IBIZA BAR SCENE OF THE 60s and 70s

2006-09-08T17:30:00.000-07:00

The Ibiza bar scene was a scene on it's own.

Cosmopolitan artists,writers and bohemians mixed with the in-crowd made a unique and interesting melange of
open minded people. The Ibiza bar scene were not just alcoholics or lost souls but, there were quite a few big brains and thinkers among them and many things of what we know as today - started in those pubs on good old Ibiza.

Old Ibiza friends Peter Kinsley, Lord Sydney Ling and Steve Seley, between them they knew the whole world and anyone who was anyone. On Ibiza they use to say; If you dont know Peter, Sydney or Steve you dont know anything and no one.

Pictures above; Peter, Sydney, Steve.

Picture under; The young Sydney and his mother Lady Adriana at Talamanca.

The Ibiza bar scene was a life on it's own.

Many international writers, painters, artists were part of that special ambiance and bar scene which took place mainly between the 1960's and untill 1980. The young fixer and prodigy Ibiza PR boy Sydney ( aged 8) knew all the bars and restaurants as well as all the important people on the island. This boy has been the special guest of many foreigners and founding fathers during his childhood and became their mascot for all their wishes and activities, no other boy than Sydney knew what was cooking on the island and where to be at the right time. He took many on his insider bar tours and introduced many artists and personalities to one another as well as to some of the best restaurants in town apart from inviting them to his meeting finca where most of the old Ibiza elite use to visit for monthly meetings organized by the young Sydney. He has been helping and guiding many people from all over on Ibiza untill the age of 19. We like to thank the Lord Sydney Ling museum exhibition for the photographs and the drawings. (To read more about Sydney, look at our other Ibiza Times pages)

hippie bars, hide away bars, etc...In Ibiza town one of the most popular meeting cafes was La Estrella on the port, mainly for coffee hours but, afternoon drinks were also popular there.Estrella was the place to meet the artists and new people, it was one of Steve Seley's second homes, specially the terrace.

2006-09-08T08:39:00.000-07:00

Lady Adriana or better known as 'Truus from Ibiza' has been guiding people on Ibiza for many years since the old days. In the 1950s she was a leading PR lady for leading individuals in the world and a piano-virtuoso. After running several bars and Restaurants in europe, she opened her last Restaurant in ibiza in 1969 after having lived there already. her Restaurant became a place where many island insiders, bohemians, artists and leading individuals came to enjoy a few good moments. Truus enjoyed every moment of life on the magic island Eivissa!

LADY ADRIANA KLIPPING.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS TRULY PROTECTED THE MAGIC ISLAND OF EIVISSA OVER MANY YEARS. A WOMAN WHO CAME FROM VERY FAR (Mentally and in her previous activities) WAS A BOHEMIAN BUSINESS WOMAN WITH GREAT PR SKILLS WHO REPRESENTED SOME OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF SOCIETY IN THE 50's AND 60's FROM THE USA AND EUROPE. ADRIANA CAME TO THE MAGIC ISLAND OF EIVISSA BEFORE ALL ITS REPUTATIONS IN THE WORLD AND BEFORE THE FIRST HIPPIES THOUGHT ABOUT GOING TO IBIZA. ADRIANA HAS REPRESENTED THE ISLAND IN IT'S PUREST FORMS TO THE WORLD. COUNTRY LIFE, NATURE, FINCA LIFE AND ANIMAL PROTECTION. THE GREAT WAY OF LIVING LIFE IN A FREE AND NATURAL WAY. ENJOYING FRIENDSHIP AND PROMOTING IBIZA'S OLD FASHIONED BARS AND BODEGAS AND TYPICAL RESTAURANTS. LIVING LIFE THE BOHEMIAN WAY!

LADY ADRIANA HAS INVITED PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, TO MAKE THEM DISCOVER THAT LAST EUROPEAN PARADISE WHERE PEOPLE CAN STILL BE PEOPLE!

SHE HAS KNOWN ALL THE GREAT IBIZA LEGENDS AND PERSONALITIES OF THE OLD DAYS AND, WITHOUT HER MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE WORLD WOULD NOT HAVE COME TO THE WHITE ISLAND. LADY ADRIANA MOTIVATED MANY RESPECTED INDIVIDUALS, ARTISTS, BOHEMIANS AND LEADERS OF SOCIETY TO COME AND INVESTIGATE THE MAGIC ISLAND BEFORE THE GOLDEN EPOQUE.

LADY ADRIANA HAD GREAT CONTACTS WITH THE WORLD. SHE WAS A PRIVATE LEADING PR LADY TO MANY GREAT PEOPLE IN THE OLD DAYS BUT, SHE PREFERD TO LIVE HER OWN LIFE, THE IBIZA WAY. SHE WANTED TO STAY A BOHEMIAN AND ENJOY LIFE ON THIS GREAT ISLAND. IBIZA SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT LADY ADRIANA (Ibiza Truus) MOTIVATED THE GERMANS, THE DUTCH, THE AMERICANS, THE FRENCH, THE BRITS AND MANY OTHER NATIONALITIES TO COME AND DISCOVER THE ISLAND IBIZA. DISCOVER THE ISLAND IN A NATURAL POSITIVE AND BOHEMIAN WAY. IN THE OLD DAYS A SMALL LETTER TO ROYAL FRIENDS OR A ROCKEFELLER AND A ROTHSCHILD OR A GETTY WOULD DO MIRACLES. LADY ADRIANA (Truus) WAS A GREAT PROMOTER OF A 'PURE IBIZA' SHE ALSO INVITED ISIDORO MACABICH TO HER FINCA TO DISCUSS LIFE ON IBIZA AND LISTEN TO HIS POEMS, SHE INVITED THE LEADING LOCALS, THE IBICENCOS, THE BOHEMIAN WRITERS, THE STARS AND, WHO DIDNT COME TO HER PLACE? THE OLD FINCA WHERE BOHEMIANS, ARTISTS AND SOME OF THE GREATEST MINDS IN THE WORLD CAME TO ENJOY NATURE AND BE BETWEEN REAL PEOPLE AND A REAL IBIZA.

WE AT IBIZA TIMES, THE OLD DAYS LIKE TO PLACE A FEW CANDLES FOR LADY ADRIANA KLIPPING, SHE WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE AND SHE WHO MADE MANY PEOPLE FEEL HAPPY ON IBIZA, THE BOHEMIAN WAY (And what about all those great lunches at Es Caliu over the years?) .LADY ADRIANA (Truus from Ibiza) made Ibiza rich in many ways as well with her cosyness, discretly but, true! If Ibiza has become rich because of tourism and its rich visitors, it may thank Lady Adriana ones again!...............................

We are also placing a couple of candles in the name of Abel Matutes, the city of Eivissa and the T.I.C.

Once again, thank you Lady Adriana (Truus) for having kept Ibiza as bohemian and pure as possible.

Ibizan artist painter Antonio Torres and art dealer Ernesto Ehrenfeld

http://www.eeif.es/significados/e/EhrenfeldErnest.html Artist Alain Teister and the young communicator and artist Lord Sydney Ling http://lordsydneylingmuseum.blogspot.com/ who all stayed and lived on Ibiza during the golden days use to meet-up frequently for artistic discussions in Ibiza town. Alain Teister/Jacques Boersma was the motivator behind the young Sydney to get him started with painting just as Salvador Dali http://www.salvadordalimuseum.org/. Their meeting places included Juanito Bahia's chicken restaurant, Los Pasajeros, the Delfin verde, Bar Estrella and La Noguera. It was at La Noguera where the young Sydney was asked during a few tapas by the art elite to become their representative and start selling their work to his contacts. Dali, Teister and Torres would than take the young communicator and artist to Casa Verdera and bought him all the paint he needed to do his own first paintings guided by his artist friends. The young Sydney was a great pr boy and managed to sell quite a few paintings and other works for his artist friends and apart from creating his own art he saved quite a few artists from falling apart, hunger for food or money or by telling a few to stop the Absinth. Tony, Ernesto, Alain, Sydney and the rest also frequently stayed on Formentera with its paradise beaches and they use to hang out in San Fernando and San Fransisco, places where they created new energy and new ideas but, also at Sydney's old friend Erik K De Vries's house Can Erik in Es Pujols, of course Fonda Pepe was their regular bar hang-out who didnt go there? The best of the sixties and seventies.

...

More recently (as of year 2000) our reporter Lenny Berman visited Formentera and saw (by pure chance) artist painter Yehuda Neiman http://www.artinframes.net/eng/artists/artinframes_artist_neiman_yehuda.htm with Lord Sydney Ling who were spending some time in the campo and between Estrella and Fonda Pepe. They also visited their old places of the past once more.

THE BEST YOGHURT (YOGOURT) ON THE BALEARIC ISLANDS.

LECHERIA LA BOMBA.

The most famous, the most respected and the purest of them all.

In today's world it's very rare to find something 100% pure. The yoghurt from Lecheria la Bomba is made everyday from fresh Ibizan cow

milk, not to forgt their goatmilk version. This is a family business with a long and great tradition..Generation after generation. One of those old Ibiza secrets and still going strong..Thank God.

THE PURITY OF THE IBIZA, THE CAMPO

AND NATURE

The young Sydney at the family finca on Ibiza, pulling fresh mounten water from the well. a place where this wonderboy cured and helped quite a few people with his natural talents. People from all over the world came to see and touch him and get some of his amazing natural life light and energy. After their visit most problems and obstacles disappeared accordingly. Born with unusual talents, light and energy, the natural energy of Ibiza gave him an extra gift to help many. (Also see elsewhere on this site) Today you can still visit the amazing Sydney for his natural energy blessings twice a year as what we know.

FINCA LIFE ON OLD IBIZA, THE OLD DAYS.

2006-09-07T03:38:00.000-07:00

The early Phoenicians believed Ibiza to be a magic isle blessed by the Gods, because the rich, red soil is non volcanic and the island forbids survival to any reptile, animal, insect or plant that can harm humans. To this day many people wear amulets and pendants containing the sacred soil to protect the wearer
-

IBIZA FINCA LIFE a way of living, away from it all and only invite who you like. Finca life on Ibiza during the sixties and seventies was quite special, Lady Adriana (Ibiza Truus) http://ibizatruus.blogspot.com invited many people over the years to enjoy unique moments between selected friends at the finca in San Rafael. Other lunches would take place at i.e. Es Caliu aka the meat finca, a restaurant specialized in T-bone steaks and cordero. Es Caliu is also a finca like place. Photos above and below, Lady Adriana at the finca with guests. Foto under at Es Caliu with Rusty Wilson and others.

The young Sydney was brought up at one of the oldest fincas on the island, a place where many artists, bohemians and personalities use to unite during the old days invited by the young Sydney. He named it Home of the Stars because of the visitors and the real stars in the Ibiza sky above the pure campo.

Photo; Sydney during the shooting of one of his early Ibiza films with one of his grandmothers Nelly de Rosielle and others. Photo down. The communicator and pr wizard Sydney in downtown Ibiza's calle mayor.

THE PURE WAY OF LIVING AT THE FINCA.

Living at a finca on Ibiza was and is something unique! Being in touch with nature all the time and being able to pull up fresh mountain water from the finca well. People and animals all live in peace and harmony...The simple things in life are always the best! (Photo) Sydney and dog Lita at the finca.

LORD SYDNEY LING, THE IBIZA WONDERBOY OF THE BOHEMIAN DAYS.

2006-09-07T03:31:00.000-07:00

That Ibiza has a strange magnetism for creative talents is a fascinating reality. It's no secret that Ibiza boasts the greatest concentration of international talent on a tiny island. They have found inspiration and fulfilment from the simple, spiritually enriching, Ibicenco way of life. 'Tranquilo', the most popular Ibicenco word, means 'Finding Inner Peace in Harmony with Nature'

WHAT COULD A BOY DO

ON IBIZA APART FROM

EXPRESSING HIS TALENTS?

HELPING THOSE WHO WERE

LOST....AND THERE WERE MANY.

The golden Ibiza days.

Sydney, the young gypsy- flamenco performer playing one of his incredible fast gypsy rhumbas,

as if you were listening to seven instruments in the same time. The gypsies came to him for extra

flamenco and rumba lessons.

He spoke in a combination of 13 languages at eight years old and had the greatest contacts in the world. The elite and the Ibiza bohemians and artists of those days always took him serious in everything he said and did, they always followed his advice. Child prodigy Sydney was an amazing boy with a great sense of humor who cured them physically and mentally with his amazing natural light-energy, helped them, introduced them to eachother and fixed the unfixable for them in business and private. A young boy with a character but, who understood life very quickly and knew where he was going, the world had never seen a child like this before! He was the youngest private consultant, communication PR wizard and artist on our planet. Ibiza itself as a center of the world was Sydney's best school in life and during the 1960's he also became the representative of the so called "School of Ibiza" the artgroup representing quite a few international and Ibizan artists and painters. From youngest pioneer communicator, mock-bullfighter and flamenco performer to painter, to youngest showproducer, the youngest filmproducer, director and writer in the world. The Ibiza papers , Diario de Ibiza and La Prensa published many articles, pages and stories over the years on Sydney and his amazing activities and adventures during the old Ibiza days. (Also see item The golden Ibiza days) Sydney was also the youngest personal and confidential adviser to quite a few personalities of the 1960s and 1970s and one phonecall from this boy could change people's life or careers inseconds. He was known for having some of the best quality contacts in the world as a young boy and at many levels of society. It was also on Ibiza where he build up his first international communication and solution base in consulting and guiding leading indiviuals, families and companies. Sydney has amazed many people over the years (Also see other publications or the Guinness books of records over the years for other records) he started his amazing multiple activities and careers on magic Ibiza during the golden epoque of the sixties and became the mascot of the elite, artists and bohemians not only on the white island but, all over the world. He was able to interact with nature and people in the most natural way. Sydney' said' I am glad that I didnt waste to much of my time by going to school or all these international schools. I did a few and went to the best ones but, there was nothing they could teach me I didnt know yet. Life itself and specially Ibiza was my best school in life, life itself. I did realize that I was a bit different compared to other children or a bit much.. I also know that I was born with several unusual talents but, it was the natural Ibiza magic that gave it the extra pusg I guess, it worked for me, the rest is history.

Ibiza: Lord Sydney Ling

Lord Sydney Ling fue conocido durante su ninez como un “ninio prodigio”, pues desde muy joven mostraba tener un gran talento en diversas áreas. Ling pasó su infancia en varios países y eso le permitió cultivar su gusto por el arte. Ling comenzó su actividad como pintor en Ibizaen los anios 60´s y varias de sus pinturas se encuentran en colecciones privadas, pero también en el muso privado del pintor. Los oriundos de la isla se enorgullecen de tener a un pintor, fotógrado, consultor, etc. con tanto talento y además con un instito altruista muy generoso. Entre otras cosas, Ling documentó la historia de Ibiza con sus fotografías y su obra puede ser apreciada en la isla.
