Community
We are an eco-friendly coliving space created for digital nomads, artists, and creatives who value harmony with nature, a creative atmosphere, and a conscious lifestyle. Our community is built on friendly relationships, and the artistic character of the place enriches everyday life.
Our residence is an example of the revival of the countryside and culture of Andalusia. It was built on the site of a former goat farm, which we transformed into an inspiring space for living and working. We combine a rustic atmosphere with modern, eco-friendly design, creating a unique place for modern nomads.
Our mission:
- Creating a balance between work, relaxation, and partying: We offer a place where you can work remotely, chill, and feel the energy of a Spanish fiesta at the same time.
- Inspiration through art and creativity: Our residence is not only a place to work, but also an art and design gallery created in the spirit of zero waste.
- Vibrant community: We organize communal breakfasts, wine evenings, concerts, excursions, and conversations that foster valuable relationships.
- Conscious living in harmony with nature: We have a permaculture garden and unique spaces for relaxation and work, including a treehouse, chillout zones, a summer kitchen, and a hammock room—all at the foot of the mountains with stunning views.
This is more than just coliving; it's a place where modern nomadism meets simple, happy living and inspiring relationships. Every guest becomes part of our community.
