REC.ON Spain is an Ecovillage and Coliving 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.
Art – Ecology – Heritage – Community
An artist residency and creative work space located in the REC.ON ecovillage, in the heart of the Andalusian mountains. 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.
Since 2019, the project, dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of Andalusian rural areas, has been a pioneering example of rural revitalization. It focuses on the renovation of over 100-year-old buildings—both residential homes and former agricultural structures—on a historic goat farm in the village of Bolaimi, Andalusia. The restored spaces have been adapted for residential and workshop use in line with the principles of sustainable design and recycling, while work on additional spaces is still ongoing
