In spite of the story of an Ibiza that has been Institutionalised as an alternative to the boring, alienating, Industrialised West -a story that has been successfully exploited as a product for the global consumption -the commonplace isla experience is generally somewhat more complex. The pilgrim’s Ibiza is not such much a space for the new social foundations as a place where it is possible to experience rationality, a linear optimization of the functions and morals of the middle working class, as the same time as the erotics of desire, erratic drifting and daily recreational experimentation. That is the Ibiza which is generally been experienced by the ‘new settlers’ on the island since 1967; and which has been made possible with the help of their residential constructions.
