Naucz się hiszpańskiego i odkryj autentyczną Andaluzję

We invite you to a unique Spanish language course at our Rec.On Project Spain Artistic Residency. It is an enclave of travelers, digital nomads and artists from all over Europe. Our land at the foot of the mountains is located in the Sierra Estancia in Andalusia, 12 km from the historic white pueblo of Velez Rubio. We live here our own way, in harmony with what is important to us. We lead a healthy, ecological lifestyle that provides space for freedom and creativity. You will feel this spirit in every square meter of our Spanish habitat. The 150-year-old buildings contain rooms and spaces for creative work and relaxation, and the whole area is surrounded by a permaculture garden with organic vegetables and herbs. The entire area is a "Living Gallery" of handmade furniture made of recycled materials. While here, you can both admire them and use artistic installations prepared especially for guests, such as: summer kitchens, a tree house, a summer shower, sanitary facilities, areas with hammocks, places for meditation and chill, an eco bottle with spring water instead of swimming pool:) – all in the spirit of conscious Upcycling Design. REC.ON Project Spain is a place for creative and open people. For those who want to share their passions and values. And also for those who are not indifferent to the fate of the natural environment and want to be close to nature. This is what can be created when an artist and an environmental engineer join forces.

We will serve you delicious, aromatic meals based on products from our own eco-garden. There will also be seafood, locally produced cheeses and meats, real olive oil, tasty spreads. You will taste Spanish cuisine at its best, locally enriched with other flavors and our healthy, colorful recipes. Full board is included in the price of the course. On the first day you will have dinner with us, then 3 meals a day, and on the last day only breakfast.
