Hello! This is not an ordinary accommodation offer on Slowhop. This is an invitation to... summer camps for adults or adults with children, because you can even come to us as a family. They will take place in the unique, colorful Andalusia. With a tour of the area, with wine, delicious food, new friends and in the unique atmosphere of the Rec.On Project Spain artistic residence. For 5 years, we have been creating a place here that attracts open, creative and curious people who want to taste the local nature of our corner of Spain.
For 7 beautiful days you will experience Spanish culture, relax and discover the fascinating Andalusia. We will invite you for 2 full-day trips, and you can use the rest of your free time as you wish. You can relax on the beach, visit the white pueblos or have a siesta in our residence. Every day we will serve you delicious local breakfasts and provide the addresses of the best restaurants and tapas bars in the area. And during trips and moments spent at the table, you will meet our friends who create a community organized around this place.
Our stays are small: up to 5 people. You can stay in a single room, come as a couple or rent the entire apartment for 5 people. We invite you to the Andalusian holiday of a lifetime!
Seven charming days spent in eco & art village in the Andalusian mountains next to the authentic and historic white town of Velez Rubio is a journey that will revolutionize your view of holidays. Not only is it a moment of break from everyday life, but it also offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the harmony of nature and fiesta, away from the crowds of tourists.
REC.ON Spain cordially invites you to a week of relaxation and discovery, during which you can relax and explore the beauty of authentic Andalusia. Accommodation is available in single rooms for couples or entire apartments for families, which gives you freedom of choice.
In 150-year-old buildings, you will find spaces to relax, surrounded by a permaculture garden with organic vegetables and herbs. During your stay, you will be happy to use art installations prepared especially for guests, such as a summer kitchen, a tree house, a summer shower, sanitary facilities, areas with hammocks, meditation areas, chill-out areas, and even an eco-bottle with spring water instead of a traditional swimming pool. It all adds up to an unforgettable experience where art and nature coexist in perfect harmony.
Additionally, as part of your stay, we have planned two full-day guided tours for you (Paulina or Bartek😊). The first tour will take you to the Museo Megalítico de Gorafe, where you will discover cave houses. The second trip will take you to a unique beach in the Aguilas region. (Trips when booking a minimum of 3 people in the apartment).
Moreover, you will have the opportunity to visit the historic surrounding towns (12 km from the apartment), which delight with the local Andalusian atmosphere. You'll visit a Renaissance castle, immerse yourself in prehistoric cave paintings, and participate in local fiestas de verano.
REC.ON Project Spain is a place for creative and open people who combine their passions and values. Something unique is born here when an artist and an environmental engineer together create a space that not only inspires, but also engages in the protection of the natural environment. If you dream of a unique holiday where art, nature and ecological awareness meet, REC.ON Spain is the place to go.
Breakfast with delicious coffee from an espresso machine is included in the price of your stay.
Upon request, we will serve you delicious, aromatic meals based on products from our own eco-garden.

We invite you to discover the LOS VELEZ Region in the province of Almeria, in the charming Andalusia. This is an extraordinary place that delights with its authentic charm and picturesque landscape. This region is distinguished by its impressive mountain range, various natural parks, prehistoric cave paintings and beautifully preserved white towns. It is also a historical route leading to Granada, which was once a Roman and Arab route. Today, traces of this heritage are visible in the castle ruins and traditional houses that form part of the white towns.
Andalusia is famous for its 300 sunny days a year! Comarca Los Velez, as this region is called, is one of the least populated places in Europe, with only 4 people per square kilometer. The terrain is mountainous, with the highest point in Sierra Maria reaching 2,050 meters above sea level, no industry and a semi-arid climate.
From the LOS VELEZ Region, important places can be easily reached: Alicante Airport - approximately 1 hour 50 minutes, Malaga Airport - approximately 3 hours 30 minutes, beaches/coast - just 50 minutes, Sierra Nevada (ski) - approximately 2 hours 30 minutes, Granada – approximately 1 hour 40 minutes.
We invite you for an unforgettable holiday where you will discover the charms of Andalusia's culture, history and nature!
