  ​We want you to make the most of your experience. Being in Badalona gives you the advantage of having tranquility and excellent connections to Barcelona:
  ​🚶‍♀️ Suggestions for Your Free Time
  ​Explore Badalona's Beaches: Just a few minutes' walk away, these beaches are quieter than those in Barcelona. Enjoy a stroll along the Pont del Petroli (Oil Bridge) or relax by the sea after a day of work.
  ​Hiking and Nature: A short bus ride or walk will take you to the Serra de la Marina, ideal for hiking routes with panoramic views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean.
  ​A la Carte Barcelona: Central Barcelona is easily accessible. Use your free time to visit specific museums (like the MACBA or the Born CCM), attend concerts, or simply get lost in the Gothic Quarter.
  ​🚌 Local Transportation Options
  ​Metro L2 (Purple Line): This line connects you directly to central Barcelona (Passeig de Gràcia, Sagrada Familia) in under 30 minutes.
  ​Commuter Train (Rodalies R1): Ideal for moving along the coast, both north (Maresme) and south (central Barcelona, L'Hospitalet).
  ​Biking: Badalona is a comfortable city for cycling, especially along the seafront promenade.
  ​🧘 House Rules and Lifestyle
  ​Our workshop and home is a space for creation, concentration, and respect. We seek a calm and mature environment for cohabitation.
  ​📜 House Rules
  ​Respect for the Creation Space: The workshop is a place of work. When you are not collaborating, we ask you to respect the silence and concentration if delicate work is in progress.
  ​Sleeping Hours: Although we don't have a strict curfew, we value rest. We maintain quiet and calm in the common areas after 11:00 PM (23:00), especially if we need to get up early the next day.
  ​Use of Tools: Safety comes first. The use of workshop tools is only allowed under my direct supervision and after receiving adequate training.
  ​Artist's Lifestyle: I live a life dedicated to my projects, which often require deep concentration and intense periods of work. We value proactivity and the ability to be autonomous and discreet when necessary, especially in the mornings, which are usually my most concentrated work time.
