Start 2021 with New Sensory Experiences
As every year, it is customary to spend Christmas with family in an intimate evening that helps us reconnect with those loved ones that we usually do not see; and on the other hand, the New Year is an opportunity to spend it with friends in more casual and even romantic plans. Even though this year the festivities have been affected by the pandemic that continues to haunt, the spirit of celebration does not fade, but on the contrary, it encourages us to value the present moment and what we have and often take for granted.
To close this chaotic 2020 (at least symbolically), we have thought of our favorite spots to welcome the new year with new and different experiences ranging from gastronomy to mixology and everything that awakens our senses. Of course, each of these places has an honorable mention for implementing all the necessary health measures to visit them with the confidence that we will spend a safe and unforgettable night.
Remember that it is important to contact them and ask about availability, as well as make a reservation to secure your spot in advance.
