Can I very strongly recommend this http://sende.co/

I was looking for exactly the same thing about 9 months ago and came across this. My girlfriend and I visited and we weren't sure what to expect at all. We immediately fell in love with the place and ended up buying a house there (for under $10k).

The couple who are 'running' it are amazing people and are looking to turn this entire Spanish village into one big makerspace.

This place looks interesting! Are you running a business from there / living there full time?

Also, you bought a house, outright, for under $10k? I know Spanish property values have taken a hit but that sounds insane!

I am on the road more or less full time, the plan is to just spend a few months a year there at the moment.

As for the property values, this is worth checking out http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2015/08/23/433228503/i...

Thanks for the link. So was the Sende project one of these abandoned villages?

I'm curious about what you get for less than $10k, did your house need a lot of renovation or was it ready to live in? Did you buy it through the Sende people or independently?

Thank you very much for the suggestion. However, I'm a big introvert, and a slight recluse even.
