Ibiza has long been associated with clubbing and Brits behaving badly, but it has a very different side - one of tranquil beauty which is increasingly attracting the rich and famous, as well as Brits who live on the island and commute to UK.

In the 1950s, Ibiza was a poor island where locals made a meagre living through farming and fishing. Now many have become rich through tourism and selling their land and farms. And while mainland Spain has high unemployment, Ibiza has seasonal jobs and a service industry supporting those living there all year round.

What will be the long-term impact of the new influx of Brits searching for peace - ranging from Cathal Smyth (Chas Smash) from the very London band Madness, to a single mother with her teenage son starting a new life.
