ibiza beach landings

Yes they did blow a hotel up at cala den bossa near the end of the runway local story has it that local business man built hotel with out permisson told him to take down did not so they blew it up charged him to take what was left of hotel did not so got thrown in to jail and left hotel as a reminder to others.Remember this i belive was around 74/75 also speaking to a old work collegue remembers in the late 5os/60s flying to ibiza via palma and then had to catch a light aircraft as runway was not big enough .Also states was given a glass of brandy as a inflight drink to settle nerves?
