REC.ON Project Spain

REC.ON Spain is an ecovillage and artist residency located in the picturesque village of La Mata Bolaimi, with just 10 houses, nestled in the Sierra Maria-Los Vélez mountains of Andalusia, near the historic town of Vélez Rubio. 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.

Preserving the Rural Heritage of Andalusia

REC.ON Spain is an ecovillage and artist residence located in Bolaimi, a picturesque village in the Sierra Maria-Los Vélez mountains of Andalusia. As of 2019, offering a creative and peaceful environment for artists, digital nomads and peace seekers. The restored rural buildings house living spaces, coworking areas, a workshop studio and a gallery – fostering artistic work, the exchange of ideas and creative collaboration.

REC.ON Project’s space is designed for travelers, digital nomads, people experiencing burnout and those seeking inspiration and entry into slow life. We offer coliving rooms, a Green Spot for vans and coworking spaces for remote work. Here you can connect with other travelers, artists and a community of people with similar values. There is an opportunity to go hiking, meditate or take part in creative workshops on renovation, upcycling and permaculture.

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

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
