You’ll then retire to the tranquil Oller del Mas, a stunning vineyard estate, where a gourmet dinner awaits.
Dress-code Theme: Opt for statement pieces with bold patterns or avant-garde designs, paired with classic accessories like a structured handbag or designer shoes. Monochrome outfits with a pop of color can also work well.
