First their major clubs are shut down, now an oil tanker crashes and leaks onto their beaches
Despite initial claims that the situation was under control, the reality is that oil has continued to escape from the cargo vessel, Don Pedro, which sank off Ibiza in the early hours of Wednesday.
The authorities say that ten tons of tar has been collected from the sea already, and that no protected natural areas are under threat. However divers to the wreck found a broken tube from which more oil was escaping yesterday.
The Minister for Development, Magdalena ?lvarez, after meeting with the operation coordinators, said that escape should be plugged this morning.
Three beaches on Ibiza have been closed as a result of the spill, reported to be four kms in length, San Figueretes, Evissa, and Playa de Talamanca.
