About Spain Abroad Creative Hub

Our Journey

Spain Abroad Creative Hub emerged from a deep love for Spanish culture and a desire to share authentic experiences with others. As the founders of Spain Abroad, we've spent years curating immersive educational programs for young adults through our Digital Wellness Gap Program in Estepona and Cultural Immersion Homestay Study Abroad in León.

Through these experiences, we discovered something special: the transformative power of Spain's unhurried rhythms, Mediterranean light, and rich cultural landscape on creative thinking and productivity. What began as an educational venture has naturally evolved to embrace a broader creative community.

Seeing as how Leanna is a screenwriter and author, Johnny is a Soma-Certified Breathwork facilitator and all three owners are Certified Life Coaches, especially focusing in helping others Find their Mañana (Life balance,) this seemed like a natural step towards merging passions.

Our Vision

The Creative Hub represents our commitment to creating spaces where creativity can flourish within the context of Spanish coastal living. We believe that the Mediterranean environment—with its unique blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and relaxed pace—offers the perfect conditions for writers, artists, wellness enthusiasts and digital creators to find both inspiration and focus.

We've designed this residency experience to provide what creators need most: beautiful spaces to live and work, a supportive community of like-minded individuals, and the freedom to establish your own rhythm within the inspiring backdrop of coastal Spain.

Our Approach

Unlike structured educational programs, our Creative Hub offers a self-directed experience. We provide the spaces, the setting, and the community—you bring your creative projects and set your own pace. Optional add-on experiences, from Spanish cooking classes to yoga on the beach, are available to enrich your stay and provide authentic cultural context.

We believe in the "Mañana" approach to creativity, a mindful balance that acknowledges the value of reflection, connection, and enjoyment alongside focused work.

Join us this summer to discover how the Mediterranean magic can transform not just your creative output, but your relationship to the creative process itself.
