Cortijo el Moro Art Residency is a dedicated space for artists, set on the edge of the Sierra de Maria natual park, Andalucía, Spain. Here you will find inspiration, peace and the space to think, create and play.

 

A sympathetically restored cortijo with 4 bedrooms, a communal studio, ceramics workshop, shared kitchen, bathrooms, internal and external spaces, including a wonderful roof terrace, a fly-free and over 2 acres of land to wander - we are confident you will find everything you need here, including oodles of inspiration!

 

Chris and Laura established Cortijo el Moro’s art residency in 2025. We welcome artists from across the globe, practising in any media. However, we do have a dedicated ceramics workshop, a small selection of woodworking and metalworking tools. Future plans include a Precious Plastics repurposing and creation workshop, amongst others.

 

Are you looking for the space and tranquility to develop a new body of work, write a novel, or perhaps wanting to meet fellow creativess, share ideas and learn new skills to develop your practice?

 

We may have just the thing. 

 

 

Open Calls will be published on our instagram page, so be sure to follow.

 

The cortijo is set over 3 floors, providing 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There is a communal kitchen, living room, dining area, roof terrace and also a 'fly-free' set in the extensive grounds. We provide a communal studio at the top of the house, which has great natural light and access to a small terrace. On the ground floor is a separate ceramics studio, with access to an electric kiln and potters wheel, plus a traditional kick-wheel. Each bedroom also has it's own private workspace.

 

Accommodation is offered on a self-catering basis.

We offer single or double occupancy. 2025 prices from 200€ per week.

Stay with us from one week to two months. Discounts are available for longer stays

 

There's more... When your stay comes to an end, our shared journey doesn't have to. In fact, residents may be invited to become a member of the Cortijo el Moro Collective. This is a shared online space with past, and current art residents. Our intention is to create a space where you can continue to meet international artists, to collaborate, share news of upcoming exhibitions, ask for advice or feedback on new work, run a live workshop or ask another member to share their skills. We hope you can see the magic of such a resource too.
