How many is too many....we are talking cars in Ibiza of course with numbers published for the first time as limits look likely to come into force this summer & how much are you paying for your Balearic electricity as bills skyrocket. The Balearics are making a big splash at the ITB - the big Berlin Travel Expo - with Ibiza launching a new product with a not too impressive logo.
