​Join us on Wednesday, May 27, at Abya for an intimate dinner dedicated to travel stories, hidden gems, and the decisions behind our holidays.

​This dinner is designed for those who love to travel, and especially for those curious about why we choose certain destinations, what we are actually searching for when we explore, and how those experiences shape us.

​Throughout the evening, we will discuss spontaneous versus planned travel, solo trips versus group adventures, and emotional versus adventure travel. We will share hidden gems in Spain, dream trips, and even travel disasters. Our host, Oana, will share some of her own experiences to open the floor, and we invite everyone to bring their stories, tips, and travel philosophies to the table.

​The Ultimate Why

​The idea is simple: good food, wine, and focused conversation with interesting people. It is the perfect environment for adventure lovers, people new to Spain looking for ideas, or anyone curious about how others experience the world to leave with new inspiration for future adventures.

​What to Expect

​• Curated Conversation: Guided discussions exploring how we decide where to go and what makes a destination truly "worth it."

​• The Dinner Table Dynamic: We will use specific conversation prompts to spark dialogue, such as discussing why certain places suddenly become "the place" to go, or sharing a travel moment that stayed with you long after the trip ended.

​• Intimate Setting: Capacity is strictly limited to ensure a single, cohesive conversation where everyone has a chance to share and connect meaningfully.

​• Authentic Connection: An environment strictly free from digital distractions.

​Venue: ABYA

​Abya Madrid is more than a restaurant it’s a celebration of art, culture, and contemporary gastronomy. Housed in the majestic Palacio de Saldaña in Madrid’s Salamanca district, Abya brings Latin American energy and creativity into a refined European setting.

​Led by chef Aurelio Morales, the concept fuses vibrant flavours, artistic presentation, and bold design to create a multi-sensory experience. Each floor offers a different mood from lively social dining to intimate, art-filled lounges all connected by a spirit of sophistication and discovery.

​Abya isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a journey through culture, emotion, and style.
