REC.ON: an old goat farm turned creative hub in Andalusia

REC.ON is an ecovillage and coliving art residency in Bolaimi, in the Sierra Maria-Los Velez mountains of Almeria. Paulina and Bart founded it in 2019 in a hundred year old Andalusian goat farm, and turned it into a creative hub built around upcycled design, exhibitions and artistic residencies.

What REC.ON Does

  • Individual rooms for long stays. Around 660 euros a month discounted from 749, or 25 euros a night, with a 12 night minimum.
  • An artist and writer residency. Alongside the standard coliving, with dedicated space for artistic work.
  • The first private gallery in the village. Exhibitions, workshops and collaborations open to the area.
  • A working eco system. Organic garden, bio compost and a water recycling system.
  • Heritage restoration. Preserving and adapting the old farm buildings rather than replacing them.

Why It Makes Sense for Nomads

The Sierra Maria-Los Velez is a natural park in northern Almeria, one of the emptiest and driest corners of Spain, with mountains, hiking and enormous skies. Andalusia's sunniest weather and lowest prices meet here.

The creative infrastructure sets this apart. A gallery, workshops and a residency programme in a mountain village is a genuinely unusual setup, and it means the community is people making things rather than only working remotely.

The 4.9 rating across 100 reviews is exceptional at that volume. A car will considerably widen what is reachable.

Pricing
