So more than half the population of Britain wants to live abroad and their first choice among non-English-speaking countries is Spain. Down here on the Balearic island of Ibiza this news has raised a few delighted chuckles among the locals. They presume that the Brits longing for exile are the same high-spenders who flock here during August, the height of the clubbing season, and who pay up to £50 a head to join 10,000 other ravers at Privilege, officially the world’s biggest nightclub. It is more likely, however, that they resemble me, wanderers in the autumn of their life who admire the Spanish, especially the Ibicencos, for their gentle hedonism, tolerance, loyalty, good manners and recognition of what is important in this world and what is froth.
