Read MoreOne of the most secret and hard-to-get places on Ibiza’s wild west coast is the Cave of Light or La Cueva de la Luz or Na Coloms. The name for the ‘Cave of Light’ was inspired by the beautiful reflections of sunlight that illuminate the whole cave – especially under the midday sun – creating a stunning blue glow. A group of five accomplished athletes of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, accompanied by the sport’s ambassador, Colombian legend Orlando Duque, met on Spain’s third largest Balearic Island, Ibiza.
