REC.ON Project Spain

REC.ON Spain is an innovative art and environmental residence, located in the 10-house village of La Mata Bolaimi, in the Sierra Maria los Velez mountains of Andalusia, close to the historic town of Velez Rubio. Founded by Bart and Paulina Bielecki in 2019, it is a pioneering example of preserving rural living spaces by reclaiming more than 100-year-old buildings with respect for cultural heritage. The REC.ON Spain Residence is based on values such as art, ecology and social and cultural engagement. The residency not only offers space for artists, digital nomads, travelers but also supports local culture and actively collaborates with local communities.

REC.ON Spain is an innovative artistic and ecological residency with coliving spaces, designed for digital nomads, artists, and travelers. It is located in Bolaimi, a small village with just 10 homes, nestled in the Sierra Maria-Los Vélez mountains in Andalusia, Spain. Since 2019, the project has been a pioneering model for revitalizing rural living spaces.

The project includes residential rooms, parking spots for travelers, a workshop studio, and exhibition spaces, all situated in restored village buildings and on grounds at the foot of the mountains.

Welcome to REC.ON Project Spain, a unique blend of art, ecology, and mindful living in a natural setting. Our space is designed for travelers, digital nomads, those experiencing burnout, and artists seeking inspiration.We offer rooms, van parking, and rustic-design coworking spaces for remote work and creative endeavors. REC.ON Project is a place that broadens horizons, promotes personal growth, and encourages environmental stewardship. Our daily routine includes morning gatherings over aromatic coffee and fresh baguettes with organic olive oil. Here, you can connect with fellow travelers, digital nomads, and artists. If you’re interested, you can go hiking or participate in creative workshops on restoration, upcycling, and permaculture—or simply relax.

REC.ON Upcycled Gallery was born from the mission to transform waste into functional design that serves both society and nature. The exhibition space, located in a restored building at the foot of the mountains, showcases installations and functional art made from recycled materials and natural resources from the local area, such as bamboo, wood, and clay. These works are the result of collaborations with artists, friends, and guests from across Europe. REC.ON promotes ecological awareness, contributing to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production. At the same time, REC.ON encourages reflection on our collective environmental impact and the potential for a more sustainable future.
