Rural Creative Residency & Eco-friendly lodging in Galicia, Spain
Breathe . Work . Wander . Connect
A natural, cultural, and creative haven in the heart of Ribeira Sacra
O Castro Art Village is a rural creative residency space made for those who seek their own bubble.
Tucked in an oak forest with breathtaking views you will find comfortable modern accommodation and share studio spaces, where you can stay and disconnect, or work on your next project.
We welcome both creatives seeking time, space, and good company to work deeply, as well as (in limited seasons) travellers looking for a comfortable stay in pristine nature.
Our Installations
We have created a modern and comfortable place in nature, with a restored barn and geodesic glamping domes surrounded by forest. Here, you can take in sweeping views of the mountains and the Miño River canyons. It is a great spot to unplug, slow down, and enjoy being present.
A place to explore, experiment, and create
O Castro Art Village is shaped by curiosity, creativity, and experimentation.
We have created a small world where people learn from one another, try things out, and approach their work with openness. Here, exploration is encouraged, mistakes are part of the process, and fresh ideas are valued more than following formulas.
It’s a place to think differently, work honestly, and enjoy the process along the way.
