Whereas the estate agent refers to a building in terms of its assets as 'Location, location,location!' an architect friend of mine refers to its aesthetics as 'Context, context, context!'. He does have a point. Suspiciously there doesn't seem to be a long shot image supporting the idea of, quote: 'integration with the natural surroundings'. Hmm, wonder why….

perfectly hideous,

A profound tribute to the tacky, vacuous, synthesized "culture" of ibiza and the vile cattle who flock to the island.

As far as I know (I might be wrong because I'm no botanist), the characteristic trees of the island are pine trees – the only palm tree native to that part of the Mediterranean is the fat, stubby kind with fan-like leaves. The tall, slender kind has been around for quite a while (in some parts since the Arabs, but further north, ie. Barcelona, since the XIXth century more or less), but the one you can see near the house was probably planted there by the architects or by the former owner of the plot (I'm guessing the former because it's rather short.)

Again, I'm no botanist so I might be wrong.
