'Man in San An' by Martin Makepeace
Number 1 for news and views from IBIZA. Welcome to my 'MAN IN SAN AN' Podcast
TALKING BALEARICS - Current affairs podcast with myself in Ibiza & Richie Prior in Mallorca focussing on the Balearic Islands which has a thriving ex-pat population and almost 4M UK visitors every year.
MY IBIZA JOURNEY - in this series I talk to prominent people about their Ibiza journey, what the Island means to them & how it has changed over the years.
About Me: Described in the Ibiza press as a ‘friendly agitator’' and the UK's Daily Telegraph as a 'swaggering manspreader' (thanks to appearing in an ITV reality show), White Isle resident since 1991, Ibiza property expert & President of the British Association of San Antonio. Read my ‘Man in San An’ weekly blog & listen to my podcasts vía all the usual platforms.
