Then every guest will choose one piece and will learn how to use it as a communication tool, the famous Abanico Language. You can express more than 30 things with way to move it! What a fun concept right? Learn its ways and have fun becoming an insider.

You will be serve great tapas and drinks, as part of the party, where you will meet as well other traditions and hidden gems of the city. Even just this part makes up for it all!
