    Description

    Our project, with its deep artistic and cultural value, is designed to attract workawayers who are artists or looking for an inspiring space to create. One of the pillars of our association is to promote cultural production in rural environments, so we strive to organize events that not only enrich the artistic scene, but also weave meaningful links between creators and the local community, thus strengthening exchange and a sense of belonging. What we hope from this exchange is to generate a local and international network around culture and art. Write to us!! :)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The region of La Vera is a magical place, where nature, history and culture intertwine in a unique way. Its microclimate, softened by the proximity of the Sierra de Gredos, gives rise to a beautiful landscape of crystal-clear gorges, chestnut trees, oak groves and orchards. In addition, its historical legacy can be felt in every corner, from its medieval villages to its centuries-old traditions, such as the production of paprika. It is in this very special environment where our project makes sense. An old renovated tobacco drying shed, our home is a refuge for artists and creatives, and for people committed to wanting to live in a way that respects the environment and nature. La Vera is not only the setting, but also the source of inspiration. We are an artistic residence and we carry out projects related to art and culture. We are Monica and Juan and La Vera is our refuge from the busy life of the city.


    La comarca de La Vera, es un lugar mágico, donde la naturaleza, la historia y la cultura se entrelazan de manera única. Su microclima, suavizado por la proximidad de la Sierra de Gredos, da lugar a un paisaje hermoso de gargantas cristalinas, castaños, robledales y huertos. Además, su legado histórico se puede sentir en cada rincón, desde sus pueblos medievales hasta sus tradiciones centenarias, como la elaboración del pimentón.

    Es en este entorno tan especial donde nuestro proyecto cobra sentido. Antiguo secadero de tabaco reformado, nuestro hogar es un refugio para artistas y creativo, y para personas comprometidas con querer vivir de forma respetuosa del medio ambiente y la naturaleza. La Vera no es solo el escenario, sino la misma fuente de inspiración.

    Somos una residencia artistica y llevamos a cabo proyectos relacionados con el arte y la cultura. Somos Mónica y Juan y la vera es nuestro refugio de la vida ajetreada de la ciudad.
