Rural Coliving & Coworking in Cantabria, Spain

Your little village to work on your project, connect with nature and share homemade food. 40 mins from Santander.

Wooden cabins in the mountains, in a village with less than 100 inhabitants. Wake up on a small farm that is filled with gardens, with fruit trees and colorful orchards. 

Live and work on your project in a a garage that has been converted to an open coworking space and share a space with other like minded professionals with the backdrop of the serenity of nature.

Our six wooden cabins accommodate up to 18 persons.  Private and shared rooms in wooden houses with all basics, including balcony, small kitchen, and a studio to work in (for days when you work from the room instead of a coworking space).

With some wood and some trestles we have just transformed the garage into a coworking space (so you can open the door on sunny days to enjoy natural light and the mountains of the Pasiegos valleys).

High-speed fiber optic Internet, with average speeds of 250 Mbps download and 380 Mbps upload. Cables and network interface cards are also available to work as if you were in the office. You can send huge files, stream music and 4k videos at the same time in multiple devices.

This space was born from the founders of Hola Ghana. We were building schools in Ghana and now we returned to Spain to continue building our rural coliving space.

People who come to work from PAS Rural Coliving can contribute and help our projects in Ghana (you will find some opportunities in our community work).

You can also accompany us on the next trip to Ghana where we are going to finish the construction of a primary school.

There are many possibilities to contribute to the project with your time (remember that the true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit).

Testimonials

Lugar soñado en Cantabria! Combina un entorno natural con paisajes paradisíacos con la comodidad y calidad de la infraestructura, tanto como coliving como para trabajar en su espacio de coworking. Me permitió conocer muchos emprendedores y gente interesante y también a sus dueños que son unos anfitriones de lujo, muchas gracias!!

Felipe Soraires

Pasar dos semanas en Pas Coliving fue mucho más que un simple retiro de teletrabajo; fue una inmersión profunda en la naturaleza y en una comunidad comprometida con un estilo de vida regenerativo. Desde el primer día, sentí que este lugar es un verdadero laboratorio de vida, un espacio donde la generosidad, el respeto por el entorno y la conexión humana son las bases de todo lo que se hace.

Paco Briseño

If you are looking for a kind place with a purpose, where you can be a part of something bigger, please don’t hesitate to come. And you might be surprised, like me, of being rewarded many times more than I probably deserve.

I have grown so much in the past 15 days thanks to Oscar, Lulu, Lucia, the new friends I met, and the entire community.

There were more than enough time and space for quiet interactions, focused work, personal reflection and communing with nature. I leave this place with clarity of goals, many good friends, and a heart full of joy.

Ian Reyes

If you want to experience Cantabria’s lush landscapes, breathe in fresh air while hiking alongside cows, sheep, and goats, meet authentic locals, cook delicious meals, take a refreshing dip in the Pas River, and make fun memories while working on your passion project, this is the place for you! 

I’m so grateful for connecting with amazing people who I hope to see again in the future for more adventures.

Camila Zagarzazú

A piece of paradise! The hikes, the river, the nature, the people, they all create a very peaceful and warm environment. The cabins and the coworking space have everything needed, fast internet and amazing views.  I loved the time spent there.

Gabriela Braneanu

I could never have imagined in my life were the friendships I would create, the hug we would become, the security I would feel, the love, joy, & respect. I felt nurtured, seen & heard and most importantly blessed to be among you and learned the value of a community & sisterhood that inspires, kindness, honesty, support, acceptance, respect and safety. You taught me a lot and gave me strength to continue to move forward in my life implementing these values one step at a time. Forever grateful!

Después de mudarme de Barcelona a los Valles Pasiegos, por fin encuentro un espacio donde poder teletrabajar algunos días y poder conectar con personas que también trabajan en remoto y entienden lo que hago. 

Una comunidad global que me permite conocer personas interesantes, organizar planes divertidos y aportar a proyectos inspiradores. 

David Sobrino

Es un lugar de metamorfosis. Llegué esperando trabajar. El trabajo se convirtió en placer, que a su vez se convirtió en aprendizaje. Oscar y Lulú son un paradigma de simpatía, sencillez, humildad y trabajo eficaz. Juntos, ayudados por el toque mágico del lugar y la pureza de su pequeña hija Lucía, logran llevarnos a todos a otro nivel de reflexión sobre nuestro papel como transformadores sociales. Esperamos volver y poder seguir contribuyendo a la consolidación de esta maravillosa experiencia. 

Fernando Félix

I had the opportunity to be hosted by Oscar, Lulu and Lucia in Cantabria. They are phenomenal hosts, full of humility and generosity. The region that surrounds them is absolutely stunning, a spectacle of nature that allows you to rediscover the richness of the soul. An unforgettable experience that enriches the spirit and connects deeply with the essence of life.

PAS Rural Coliving

Our story, Our name

The Pas River, located in the mountainous transalpine region, gives its name to our region and to our inhabitants, the Pasiegos.

After many years of living a nomadic life, we returned to Cantabria and settled in Villegar, where we discovered the history of these transhuman cattle farmers, who had between 5 and 10 cabins and moved up to 20 times a year with their dairy cattle between pastures of different heights.

The Pas River runs through the valley and is part of local life, with its bridges, pools, the greenway and spas, symbols of history and well-being. 

We are a Family

Oscar, Lucía y Lulu - a tribe with passion for nature, community, and service, along with their family life and experience.

Oscar & Lulu: Nature and community Enthusiasts, Your Hosts

Oscar, a native of Cantabria, and Lulu, originally from Colombia, are a couple who have embraced rural living for over ten years. After spending 15 years exploring the world – England, the United States, Germany, India, Ghana, Switzerland, Canada and Colombia – they returned to Cantabria, settling in the heart of the Valles Pasiegos. Fueled by a lifelong passion for nature and a desire to contribute positively to the lives of others, they co-founded The Social Circle four years ago, because of their commitment to building change makers communities.

Oscar, an entrepreneur since the age of 21, has dedicated more than a decade to social innovation, founding Hola Ghana and The Social Circle, designing volunteer experiences, financing cooperation projects, teaching and mentoring people on topics as purpose, sense of life, conscious leadership or social entrepreneurship and making  more than 20.000 connections, to arouse awareness and generate social capital.

Lulu, passionate host and community builder, certified Agile Coach for social projects with extensive experience, has led a sustainability incubator at a Latin American university, facilitator of social innovation learning and art of hosting experiences. Their diverse backgrounds and shared values create a dynamic and committed partnership for social transformation.

As a family, they cherish their life in the countryside, raising their daughter Lucía amidst the beauty of the Valles Pasiegos. Their passion for nature and community extends to their role as your hosts. They are dedicated to ensuring you have a wonderful and enriching experience during your stay.
