About this listen

 For foreigners like me who are the latest invaders of Ibiza, it is fascinating to delve into the history of this jewel in the Mediterranean Sea. Most of us are vaguely aware that it has been conquered by various cultures over the centuries such as the Phoenicians and Romans. The invasion which led to centuries of Islamic rule in Ibiza before the Christian Catalans arrived is particularly interesting. I was very excited to come across a detailed study – a masters dissertation no less - focussed on rural Ibiza during the island’s Islamic period. And I’m delighted to welcome to the podcast Jordi Vives Colomar from Barcelona University, who wrote this 150-page study which left me overflowing with questions.
