We have worked in the film and advertising industry for 25 years, with my role as a Line Producer taking me around the world for commercials, feature films, and TV series. The job was glamorous yet stressful, and being freelancers allowed us to take long breaks, including a year off in New Zealand. Upon returning to Madrid, we found city life overwhelming and decided to move to Málaga, specifically to the beautiful town of Canillas de Aceituno, which we discovered online. We fell in love with Canillas and, 21 years later, it remains our cherished home.
Initially, we rented houses and continued our film work, but Canillas always drew us back for peace and serenity. We built our home, Casa Al Zaytun, 17 years ago and restored a 400-year-old house in town. During the pandemic lockdown, I embraced a simpler life of gardening, cooking, and making pottery, which became my passion. Two years ago, I decided to quit the film industry to focus on our ventures in Canillas. This transition has allowed us to live stress-free, valuing simplicity and living consciously, despite the financial challenges.
Desde nuestros modestos comienzos hace 20 años, como una tienda local, hemos cultivado nuestra pasión por las cosas hechas a mano. La cerámica se convirtió en nuestra musa, llevándonos a explorar tanto piezas utilitarias como experimentales, cada una llevando consigo la esencia de nuestra dedicación y conexión con la naturaleza.
En Casa Al Zaytun, cada pieza, taller y experiencia está imbuida con nuestra pasión y compromiso. Creemos en la autenticidad, la creatividad y en ofrecer momentos que perduren en la memoria de quienes nos visitan.
