How the crazy idea became reality

This article highlights the unique advantages of choosing Dénia, Spain, for co-living and co-working during the winter and off-season. Dénia offers a mild Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal escape from colder European regions. The reduced tourist crowds during the off-season provide a peaceful environment for exploring local markets, restaurants, and attractions. The international community at the co-living space fosters networking and collaboration, with hosts fluent in English, German, and Spanish ensuring a comfortable stay. Additionally, Dénia offers diverse leisure activities year-round, from hiking to cultural events. Overall, Dénia’s co-living and co-working space provides an inspiring and productive winter retreat.

 

The genesis – or how it all began

How do you actually come up with the idea of setting up a co-living / co-working space in Spain? In the fall of 2023, I gave a short presentation about how the idea came about, how we found the location and the building and what the first year was like for us.

The presentation was presented at the Betabreakfast at Betahaus Hamburg, but was not recorded. But because there are so many nice details in it, I got the presentation out again and simply recorded it again.

The presentation ends somewhere in the middle of the second construction phase – so it doesn’t at all reflect the current state as you can see it on Insta.

The presentation is in German and that’s why I presented it again in German. Sorry for that 😉
