except (so far) Albania.
Ibiza used to be a beautiful
tranquil island, relatively unoppressed
by Franco. Now it is a mispronounced
hell-hole oppressed by tourism,
the world wide web, airB'n'b, and
drunken teenagers..
see Gerald Durrell's early account of Corfu
before the lagoon of flamingoes
was turned by greed into an airport;
and Voices of the Old Sea by Norman Lewis.
