INTERVIEW WITH JOSÉ M: How did the idea of 'Magic Islands' begin?, that dedicates a book to the legends and history of each Balearic island?
INTERVIEW WITH JOSÉ M: When I started working on the magazine 'Brisas', I made a section called 'Magical Mallorca’ With stories I knew and had a lot of impact. When I gathered many articles I wrote the book ‘Mallorca Magic’. As he liked, And I was coincided with a guide on Menorca and a series for TVE Balearic Islands that followed the model, I published ‘Menorca Magic’. Later I did ‘Cabrera Mágica’, ‘Magic Formentera’ y, By last, ‘Eivissa Mágica’. Ibiza's was the one who gave me the most respect because it was the one who had the most literature and I tried to read everything.
P: Right now you are working on a new edition of ‘Eivissa Mágica’, that will come out soon. Will there be changes?
R: There are times that it makes no sense to update the books because they would be others. ‘Magic Eivissa’ retains the testimony of the Ibiza of the 90 And that is also interesting. If there is anything that squeaks, I will remove it, But if I have to add everything that has been discovered, The pace of the book would be distorted and you would have to write from another point of view.
P: I say in 'Ibiza Magic’ that mythology is very mercantilized in Ibiza.
R: Of course. How can mystery be found in the goddess Tanit? Right now, If you had to do, I don't know how I would do it. I put more of archeology to compensate both topical because the Punic inheritance is quite interesting and has not used too much.
