This past week we headed to Almería to polish up my art skills, and talk to Simon at the Cortijada Los Gazquez, an incredible restored country house in a wild Natural Park in Almeria.
The house is totally off-grid, has some amazing eco-enhancements making it almost entirely energy and resource-independent, and tremendous art projects on the go, including creative art courses and artist residencies.

What nice art. It must feel good getting in touch with your artistic side. I long for the same thing. Society forces us to take paths which deviate from our true nature, and we are sometimes forever separated from that which we hold so dear.
It's never too late Robert!!
especially of the great gastronomy within reach of all the persons.
This is such a professional podcast. Definitely Radio 4 stuff. I really enjoyed it. And I agree, it's a great part of Spain.
A high compliment indeed – Radio 4 has always been a huge inspiration!
I truly enjoyed listening while looking at the photographs. I wonder how they stumbled upon the pristine place. Spain has so many interesting places to visit, don't you think so?
What a great place. Shame that it doesn't have water supplied on site throughout the year but I guess the extra work to bring it in is worth it for the natural beauty and peace.
As for the drawings, the rhythm of the line is strong and the depiction of light and shade in the top work conveys an authentic atmosphere. It'll be interesting to see where your foray into art leads you next.
