Tercer Espacio
A community space building a regenerative culture
Tercer Espacio is a place for sharing and caring, a community space. In Tercer Espacio we promote a greener way of life, and we aim at fostering an environment where new imaginations can germinate in favor of ecological and social transition. We want to be able to imagine, to create, and to give life to our ideas, while breathing a wind of renewal around us, giving everyone the desire and the means to act at their own scale.

About Our Proyect
CAFÉ CULTIVA
In Café Cultiva we aim at cultivating the minds on the importance of cultivating the soil. We will embrace a holistic approach to food production and consumption.
EL HUERTO
We want to design our Huerto inspiring ourselves both by traditional agricultural knowledges and by permaculture principles. One example of this is how we want to use the diamond-shape to design the Huerto, which is a symbol of fertility in traditional knowledges.
ESPACIOS
Tercer Espacio has different areas that can be rented out, individually or as a whole, during the day or the evening. Privatizations are reserved for professionals and associations.
ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
Tercer Espacio offers multiple activities to suit all tastes! Ranging from ecology-related to cultural, sportive, educational, mindful and creative activities.
“We are an open mixing place for the general public, but we are strongly committed to bringing together people who may not normally spend time together in the hope that they will become friends, seeking deeper relationships with each other and with the community. A sign I once saw in an old café window proclaimed, «There are no strangers here, just friends who haven’t met», and that pretty much captures what we’re about.”
