In september 2010 Mariona Fernández and Josep Maria Fontserè began with a dream that they called Talleres Islados, a cultural project that bets on the teaching offered by first-hand authors and creators. And that this June reaches its eighth season with the conferences and workshops of the writers Rosa Regàs, Juan José Millás and Andrés Neuman. We think it is a good plan to enjoy a few days in Menorca.

It is high heat and thundering news sailors escaping from Africa across the Mediterranean Sea, They call them refugees and have brown skin and heart on tenterhooks. This sea where all sail, on yachts, in sailboats, and pateras. All on the same puddle and we are not able to paddle in unison.

Formentera, Pont de Poesia held its X Meeting of Poets that took place in beautiful Formentera during the month of June 2018. Poets came from distant lands, Sebastià Alzamora from Mallorca, Josep Anton Soldevila and Emili Bou of Catalonia, Teresa Pascual from the Valencià Country. The writers of Ibiza and Formentera did not make such a long journey. Our dear Carles Fabregat also attended, as well as Joan Ferrer, Esteve Portas y Maria Teresa Ferrer.

A happily clear afternoon on the small Balearic island of Ibiza inspired the birth of Ibiza Quills. They have appeared to develop literary activities, to create and tell short stories, art and images, to chat and for other interesting collaborations. Its mission is to nurture creativity. They materialize their objectives through workshops, writing, with contests, pop-ups, art and poetry. You can contact them on their website, on Facebook and Instagram. And whether you are a member or not you can enjoy their workshops and other activities.
