An invitation to dine
The excellent concept of the "Chef's Table" takes childhood memories to a new level.

He demonstrates how teamwork, harmony, and perfect collaboration lead to extraordinary dishes.
At the harbour's edge

It was transported specifically for this operation from the Spanish mainland to the Balearic Islands. The task: dismantling the mast of a superyacht. This mission requires not only technical expertise but also a delicate touch.

We visited construction sites, all of which contribute to the infrastructure and thus the connectivity of this diverse country.
