Cortijo Mónico is a restaurant that celebrates the traditional rural architecture of Andalusia. Our concept was to capture the essence of the historic cortijo, a vital agricultural space and cultural meeting point that fostered the exchange of traditions and customs. Rooted in the legacy of the Arab alquería and the noble estates, the cortijo was not just a center for agricultural activity but also a hub for diverse communities to gather and share their heritage.

CHALLENGES

Historic estates used for grand events are often updated in ways that can dilute their original essence. However, with Cortijo Mónico, we embraced the opportunity to reconnect with our roots and fully explore the potential of this historic cortijo. We adapted the land, redefined its uses, and approached every change with sensitivity to honor the deep cultural significance of this Andalusian heritage site.

INSPIRATION

Cortijo Mónico takes its inspiration from the classic Andalusian cortijo. We engaged with specialists in landscaping and lighting to fully realize the vision of this traditional estate, incorporating classic materials and textures to craft a cozy and interconnected environment.
