As my time at Rooral winds down, I'm already feeling nostalgic for Benarraba and the three weeks my family and I spent here. My kids know the names of all the town dogs and cats and horses, I know my way around every twisty street, and we know where to harvest the walnuts and pomegranites that are getting ripe. It's been a truly special and transformative place to live and work. And none of it would have happened without Juan and Rooral team, who have put so much work into the program, along with the village leadership. I highly recommend spending time here.
I'm almost hesitant to write a review, because the experience of living in Benarrabá through Rooral feels so incredibly special and personal to my family -- it's MINE and I don't want to share it with anyone!! My husband, myself and our two kids (4 and 2) came to Benarrabá for 3 weeks, and my only regret is that we didn't come for longer. Benarrabá is truly a gem: it's a beautifully preserved, historic mountain town with a wonderfully relaxed pace of life and charmingly narrow, winding streets, surrounded by incredible natural beauty and an awesome, well-maintained trail system (great for trail running or mountain biking). Juan, the Rooral team and the Benarrabá community made us feel right at home from day 1. As an American parent, I've always rolled my eyes a little at the saying "it takes a village to raise a child," because I've never felt like I've had much support from my community in raising my kids. But in Benarrabá, I feel like THIS is the village that saying is about! Everywhere we go, people know our kids, are happy to see them, and watch out for them. They play soccer in the street, pick and eat pomegranates and walnuts from our backyard, and greet all our neighbors, from the town mayor to the horse that lives next door.
I feel so privileged to have been able to live in and work from this community these last few weeks. I can't wait to come back.
Spending time away from the extreme busyness of city life, getting to know the incredible locals of Benarrabá (YES to abuela power), building a connection with some of the most wonderful co-living friends you might ever meet, connecting to nature and the land. How could time be spent any better?
Personally I don’t think it could. Juan has created something so special, pure and deeply thoughtful in its nature. And he went out of his way throughout our time in the village to make sure the experience was unspeakably wonderful. If something made with heart and intention is what you’re looking for, I can’t recommend Rooral enough.
Rooral was a relaxing and healing refuge to recharge after traveling in big cities. It is one of the more unique places I've stayed, a beautiful white village in the middle of the mountains. It is small but doesn't feel isolated, Juan and team regularly leaves the village for excursions so I got to discover the region as well. The coworking space had very fast reliable wifi, and was a short walk away. Overall, I highly recommend the experience.
This magical village is the perfect location if you're looking to disconnect from city life but still have access to all the ameneties of city life: great food, a well equipped gym and a state of the art office space.
If you're looking to host your next offsite, or simply just take a few days to slow down and enjoy nature, I couldn't recommend it more.
& of course, power to the pueblos! 🤘🏼
Coliving in Benarrabá was one of the best decisions of my life. Pueblo life is calm and allows for healing, inspiration and creativity. The food is delicious, the people are friendly and there's loads of community pets. I can't recommend it enough! If you're a digital nomad spend some time with Juan, Cat and the abuelas at the pueblo.
Rooral has created a community that is warm and curious, with remote workers from around the world truly living side by side with the locals of this pueblo. It’s a really special way to get out of your city and day-to-day routine to engage with others and yourself. You'll feel welcomed immediately upon arrival and, if you take advantage of all this program has to offer, you'll leave with deep connections and a new home. Juan and Cat are incredible hosts, and Rooral exceeded all of my expectations!
