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.

James has been standing still for a while. ••• The dutch television show #hetspaansedorp has helped us to find a place we can call home. A place where we can park our van, and become #weekendwarriors instead of a fulltime #vanlifer. ••• Our village #Polopos is situated beautifully in the south of Spain, so we will be making short trips to Africa and Portugal this winter. ••• #vanywhere is excited to travel again

While the mayor and the town council were judging the mural art of the Dutch participants of Het Spaanse Dorp: Polopos we decided to skip town and cook. • In our latest #cookingvideo for @nkc.nl we show you how to make an authentic Spanish omelet, the tortilla española. With the #sierranevada and the #alpujarra valley in the background Wijnand is flipping eggs like a native Iberian 😎 Link to the video in the bio! #vanlife #recipes #eggfast #costatropical #vanywhere

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
