Had a lovely evening with George and Marcos., who were incredible hosts! They immediately made us feel welcome, broke the ice and explained what we would be doing. The length of time spent at Dia was perfect and the sunset was beautiful, couldn’t have asked for a better evening. 10/10 would recommend!
