Eclipse Stay July 31 – August 3

August 2, 2027 — a rare alignment. A total solar eclipse will cross southern Almería. Here at Barrio Fuente, more than 99% of the Sun will be covered, while just a short distance to the south lies the path of totality where the Moon will completely obscure the Sun and daylight will briefly disappear. A sudden shift in the rhythm of the day: the light fading, the temperature dropping, and for a few extraordinary moments, the landscape falling into darkness. And where you are… will make all the difference.

Barrio Fuente lies between desert and mountains, under the famously clear skies of Almería, an ideal base from which to experience this rare event. For this occasion, we open a limited Eclipse Stay. A small group, staying together in our authentic environment, with private rooms available for couples and solo guests across our restored village houses. Days unfolding slowly, shared meals, quiet walks and long evenings under the stars. On eclipse morning, we travel together to a carefully selected viewing spot nearby, inside the path of totality — a quiet, secluded place away from the main viewing areas. There, we gather for a special Solar Breakfast as the eclipse unfolds, culminating in the moment the Sun disappears completely behind the Moon. Places will be limited. We'd be happy to send you the full programme and details as soon as they are available.

Photography Workshop

Photography in rural Andalusia

Guided by photographer Oscar Seykens, this one-week workshop is dedicated to attentive looking & working with landscape, light and narrative in the rural surroundings of Andalusia.

We will explore beautiful and characteristic locations in and around the village, observing how different light situations shape atmosphere and story throughout the day.

Participants are encouraged to bring their own camera. Working with a smartphone is also fully welcome. The focus of the workshop lies in seeing, composition and understanding light, rather than equipment. The workshop combines practical assignments, collective review sessions and individual guidance.
