After the storm, calm has returned to the Eurocentro industrial estate in Ibiza. Four businesses in the area were forced to close last Monday due to the damage caused by Storm Ingrid. On Sunday night, strong winds tore off the roofs of several warehouses and caused significant material damage. Despite this, the affected businesses were able to breathe a sigh of relief this Tuesday, 27 January, as they reopened their doors to the public.
One of the establishments affected was Eivitoys. Its owner, Yasmina Piñeiro, expressed surprise at how quickly operations were able to resume. “We didn’t expect to be open again so soon after the storm and the damage it caused. We thought it would take several more days to remove all the metal debris”, she said.
Although Eivitoys has reopened, Piñeiro acknowledges that work still remains to fully restore the premises. “The most significant damage is to the air-conditioning units and the roof, which still need to be repaired after being hit by metal sheets from the roof of the Fita warehouse, which was blown off”, she explained. Nevertheless, she remains optimistic: “Fortunately, air conditioning is not essential at this time of year. We are now waiting for specialists to assess the material damage”.
