The Setting and Location Mystery

One of the most talked-about aspects of this tour is its mystery. You start by booking your ticket, but the exact address remains a secret until 24 hours before the event. This adds a layer of anticipation that many find appealing. The sender (via email and WhatsApp) then reveals the secret location, which could be anything from a penthouse with city views to an old historic palace or a hidden bookstore. This unpredictability feeds into the allure of discovering a hidden gem in Valencia, making the experience more than just a concert.

From the reviews, we know that the atmosphere at these venues is often described as magical and special. Lorenzo, one guest, called it a “magical atmosphere” and appreciated the delicious wine, emphasizing how the setting elevates the entire evening.
