‘El Gaitero’ left Varadero Ibiza after its set-up to perform the presentation which was made in two nearby events. One , the press room of the Nautical Club of Ibiza. The other, the terrace of Calma Restaurant in Marina Ibiza, where a cocktail was served for the crew, the Nautical Club team, press, collaborators and friends.
From now on, Marina Ibiza will assist in the training of the team supporting them until the date of the competition. The marina wishes them all the encouragement and energy to get first position.
