Hi Dunkelheit,

Is your name from the Burzum song? Very dark melodic atmospheric music. Had a dark/ depressed period when I listened a lot to the Filosofem album.

I would be surprised if Dunkelheit wasn't from burzum's awesome Filosofem album :)
@frihet & Seppia: I'm very sorry to disappoint you, but it's the first time I've listened to the Burzum's song. Although I love metal I must admit it's too dark for me. The darkest thing I used to listen to was Children of Bodom, haha!

Dunkelheit was just my favourite german word when I began learning deutsch. Now it is Spannungsbogen (thanks to Dune).

At what Balearic Island are you planning to move to? I had a girlfriend on Ibiza for 2 years. I loved to spend time there on off season and visit deserted beaches. It's beautiful, the island has so much more than the clubbing which we never went to.

Never been to Baleari, but from the many tales I've herd I'd probably want to move to formentera.
Ibiza: I was there once when I was a child so I can't comment too much about it. It's very famous for the party clubs and the italian invaders.

Mallorca: the german colony. I love it, except in Summer when there's an invasion of tourists. The airport is really big and it's very well connected to many european capitals. There are idyllic beaches, low mountains and good quality of life. I think it's a very good option for FIRE if you want to live in a large island with a pretty landscape and maybe going somewhere else during the tourist season. It's the island with more options and diversity of all four.

Formentera: this summer I was there for one day (you don't need more to go over the small island) and it was quite disappointing for me. The beaches were not better than the others islands' ones and it was full of tourists and sellers trying to get your money.

Menorca: it's my favourite balearic island. Not so urbanised as Mallorca (its area is highly protected) and less crowded (at least in September). I just love it, the nature, the beaches, everything. The only disadvantages may be that its airport has very few connections out of high season, and that due to its smaller size it can be a little bit boring after some time there. It would be a great option to live for 4-6 months a year.

Saluti,
Dunkelheit (not Burzum-related, sorry :P)

Ok no Burzum. I'm glad we cleared that out 👍🏻. Will countinue to think about the song when I hear your name anyway. Mind imprints last a long time 😊

Mallorca hmmm have only been to Magaluf a long time ago. But I guess just like on Ibiza there are nice places outside of party areas.

I will also start listening to Burzum more frequently :twisted:

Magaluf is a touristic area, but it's difficult to escape from tourism in Mallorca. In the north there are more hidden areas, and the whole island is full of small beaches called "calas", which you can find with the help of someone (or google, nowadays).

I didn't want to upset you, but if you wish we can share some beers listening to Burzum at the beaches of Formentera :twisted: .

It's great to read how this forum is becoming more international.

Good luck in your path, I wish you come back soon and enjoy the marvelous Basque Country ;)

Gabonak!

This is great, I'm seeing a couple of Spaniards on here. I'm making my move to Spain soon and hoping to meet some ERE's over there as well. Thanks for writing this journal.
