Opera session in a cove in Ibiza

Imagine yourself anchoring in one of those paradisiacal coves in Ibiza, while you watch the sunset with the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop. The stamp could not be more appetizing, but it does not end here. While all this is happening, a group of opera singers perform La Traviata for you (or your group of friends, partner, companions, family ...) alone. And everything, aboard a schooner from 1934, the school ship Saavedra Cervantes.

Astronomer for a day

The astronomical tourism increasingly has more followers. This experience focuses on knowing the rings of Saturn and the surface of Jupiter from the most powerful telescope on the market.
