REC.ON Project Spain

REC.ON Spain is an Ecovillage and Coliving Art Residency located in the picturesque village of La Mata Bolaimi, with just 10 houses, nestled in the Sierra Maria-Los Vélez mountains of Andalusia. Founded in 2019 by Bart and Paulina Bielecki, it serves as a pioneering model for revitalizing the over 100-year-old buildings of a former goat farm.

REC.ON Spain is rooted in the values of art, ecology, and conscious community, offering a creative space for artists, writers, digital nomads, and travelers. Whether you’re healing from burnout, escaping the rat race, or pursuing a passion project, this ecovillage provides a space to create, reset, reconnect with nature, embrace simplicity and serenity.

Sustainable Tourism & Authentic Experience

An artist residency and creative work space located in the REC.ON ecovillage. We welcome artists, writers and cultural creatives looking for a peaceful and inspiring place to work. The residents have access to coliving apartment, art and design galleries with workshop facilities and outdoor creative work areas. Stays range from 4 weeks to 3 months.

The space at REC.ON is designed for digital nomads, travelers, people experiencing burnout and those looking for inspiration and an entry into slow life. We offer coliving rooms, a Green Spot for RVs and coworking spaces for remote work. You can connect with a community of people with similar values. There are opportunities for hiking, meditation or taking part in creative workshops.

REC.ON Gallery is the first art gallery in a rural area in Spain, dedicated to exhibiting and selling artwork created from recycled materials. The exhibition space is located in a restored century-old goat farm building and surrounding grounds, showcasing installations and wearable art. The gallery also supports local artists, offering their works for purchase on site.

REC.ON is a place created with responsible and experiential tourism in mind.
A former goat farm has been transformed into a vibrant and slow-paced holiday retreat – featuring unique zones for relaxation and inspiration, built with natural and reclaimed materials. The site includes a water recycling system, a permaculture garden, and offers close contact with the local culture of Andalusia.
