Polopos, Andalucia, Spain. After two years on the road in their van James traveling artists and culinary explorers Thysa Zevenbergen and Wijnand Boon have found the perfect location for a guest house where artists can work, find inspiration and meet other artists.

Casa 3: Art, Coffee and Guesthouse will also be open for non-professional creatives. A holiday filled with inspirational excursions, workshops and the time and space to paint, write, cook and grow.

The Alpujarra is an amazing region that offers plenty of opportunities for long hikes, tranquility and cultural and culinary explorations. Smack in the middle between Granada, Malaga, Almeria and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Casa 3: Art, Coffee and Guesthouse is located in Polopos, a quiet, white village overlooking the mediterranean sea at 800 meters altitude.

Sin pareja, ni amigo, ni companero alguno.

El tulipán marchito nunca vuelve a florecer.”

Pisto Andaluz, Ratatouille Spanish style
Pisto Andaluz, Ratatouille Spanish style

This dish has absolutely nothing to do with pesto, but is a Spanish variant of the better-known French ratatouille (but with just a little more olive oil). A light vegetable dish ideal as a summer meal or as a side dish with meat or fish. We have served it here with a roasted chicken from the market. Video created for the NKC.

Always another horizon to explore, and another one, and another one. ••• We had no way of knowing where we would end up when we set out in our van James two years ago. We knew we wanted more time to be creative and more opportunities to explore and we worked hard to achieve that. ••• We are settling down again now, but only because we found the perfect spot to give other artists the time and opportunity to work and explore. It feels like we've come full circle. ••• We will keep on exploring in our van James and make cooking video's. But there is a whole lot of house building and renovating going on as well. #vanywhere is in the south of Spain. #artistinresidence #costatropical #vanlife

#vanlife is a lot of #vwvan and some others. We like being rare and exclusive. But parking up to a bigger brother of our van James or any other family member is like finding a kindred spirit and we are happy to temporarily sacrifice our uniqueness for that feeling of likemindedness. Especially when it happens in a tiny village 800 meters above sea level. #vanywhere is not alone 😍😍 #benz #mytribe
