The VW Type 2 has always made a great rolling advertisement for businesses, and increasingly the iconic Split Screens and Bay Windows are the first choice as promotional vehicles for many big names

Clubbing giants Pacha have been at the forefront of their game since 1967, when Ricardo Urgell opened the original Pacha nightclub in the village of Sitges a little way along the coast from Barcelona, Spain. Virtually from the first night, the club was a storming success. Ricardo went on to open branches of Pacha throughout the Catalan region and in 1973 opened perhaps the most important club in the world, Pacha Ibiza. It remains one of the world’s favourites 35 years later and the name Pacha has become the biggest in the world of clubbing.
Today Pacha is a global group with 21 nightclubs in more than 10 different countries! It has its own record label and clothing and accessory range, five shops, a magazine, a radio station and a DJ agency. The Pacha cherry logo is well know to millions, and equally many millions of people have partied with Pacha. The clothing and merchandise division, known as Pacha Collection Ibiza, was behind the brilliant Split Screen promotional vehicle we’re featuring here. The Volkswagen Bus fitted in with the ethos Pacha has of freedom, free thinking and open mindedness. The VW is seen by many as a party venue on wheels - just add a location!
The Collection has now been going for around four years and is based in the UK. So when the idea came to have a Balearic Bus built, the team the job of getting it built was given to the marketing team at Rawhide Accessories, in Bridlington.
The first task Rawhide had was to find someone to source and build the vehicle. The choice was to go with Burnt Orange Customs based in Hapton, Burnley, Lancashire (07984 318244, www.burntorangecustoms.co.uk).
Craig Foster of Burnt Orange had a number of meetings with Rawhide to work out a brief for the Balearic Bus and then had to find a vehicle to base the project on. He found it fairly locally, thanks to Steve Gilbert of One-On-One Restorations in Nelson, Lancs. The base vehicle was a tired US import 1966 Westfalia SO-42 complete with a full camping interior, although it wasn’t to be a Camper for much longer, as Craig ripped all the Westy interior out as soon as it was back at his workshop. In brief, the bodywork needed a fair bit of work. Burnt Orange spent eight months working on the Bus, welding in new cab steps, inner and outer sills, outriggers and the whole rear floor area. Craig’s body-man, Super Roy, then made sure the battered old bodywork was straightened out and prepped for paint. As Craig puts it, “I don’t know anyone else who actually loves filler!”

In fact , it is considered to be one of the great club capitals of the world. Just to mention some: Jockey Club and “Malibu” (both on Salinas beach) are ideal spots to drink and watch the beautiful people lying in the sun while DJs spin deep house and chill out tunes. An expensive one is the Pacha where you cannot hope to enter without €50 on hand. A famous awarded club is the Space nightclub at Playa d´en Bossa always packed up with people! Some others are the Privilege, El Divino and the Space .

But honestly there is much more to Ibiza than its excellent nightclubs. The island has a 200 km / 125 mile coastline where many small coves and over 50 stunning beaches are waiting to be discovered. Not to mention the local fantastic cooking with its simply exquisite specialties like ensaimada, a sort of flat, soft pastry coil with pumpkin jam and lard and flao, a sweet cheese and mint flan. But the official Majorcan foodstuff, instead of being fish as someone may observe, is a type of red pork pate called sobressada ( or sobrasada in Majorcan). The red colour comes from hefty amounts of sweet paprika. Very popular all over the Balearic Islands. There are also local product to buy and farms to visit : consider some olive oil tasting while visiting the Ibiza island.

When it comes to choosing a place to stay on Ibiza, it really depends on what type of vacation experience you are looking for.

If you like partying till 4 am, crowded of shouting people and stuff, you should head to San Antonio with its famous Cafe Mambo, the Pacha pre-parties, or the famous Cafe Del Mar next door. There are many standard hotels in many villages along the beaches with lush gardens. The majority of amenities and activities for Ibiza Hotels are included in the room rate; guests will not be charged extra for meals, drinks and activities. Guests can relax in the bar, play pool in the games room, catch up on the news in the TV room, or unwind with a cool drink on the terrace; the hotels also host barbecues. Kids are kept entertained at the mini-club, children’s pool and playground. The hotels offer a full programme of activities and entertainment for both adults and children with games, sports, competitions, dancing and professional shows which include flamenco dancing and magic shows.

Practical amenities include currency exchange, laundry facilities and babysitting services. You will certainly see most of them by walking along the sea. They usually exhibit names related to ideal Latin male figures from Poseidon hotel, Don Juan hotel to Marco Polo hotel.or more exotic ones as Mare nostrum hotel, Maritimo hotel, Lux Mar Hotel, Playa Grande hotel, Playa Sol hotel, Sol Bay hotel, Nautilus hotel. There something like 300 licensed accommodation possibilities on Ibiza, that cover the entire budget range, from youth hostels to boutique hotels.

Most of them have a website online offering the possibility to book directly online. August is the most prohibited month with thousand of tourists so think in advance as sleeping in the beach, unfortunately I should say, is illegal.
