page 33  I have been doing lots of things – things interesting for me. I've done a lot of traipsing around. I've been back to Ibiza, Spain. I first went there with Rick, three years ago. It's an interesting place to be. I've written quite a lot too. I've been writing in all sorts of funny places. &mdash; Syd Barrett So the easy assumption is that the setting of "Opel" was inspired by something he had seen in a place where Syd had been before.

The place most full of myths is surely Es Vedrà. Located off the Southwest coast of Ibiza lies the mysterious rock island Es Vedra, almost 400 m in height, made of limestone and surrounded by many myths and legends. … Ibiza is an island of mysteries and Es Vedra is one of them... both are considered places of transformation. — www.ibiza4all.org, "Es Vedra - Famous landmark and Mysterious Rock island"
