Yes... also in Spain there's this place named Ca La Fou: https://calafou.org/en https://calafou.org/en
Ca La Fou is an ambitious ‘eco-industrial postcapitalist colony’, a day’s cycle outside barcelona. The group first visited this site in october 2010, and only moved here in july 2011. The enormous space was bought as a housing cooperative by the group with a loan from an ecological bank and support from a wider network.
The thirty permanent collective members work at a slow pace but have achieved a great deal by making the space livible and have already built a number of functioning workshops. These include:
- An impressive hacklab where broken computers are recycled into new ones
- A collaborative car workshop where engines are fixed to run with vegetable oil
- A Ukelele workshop
- A chemistry lab where soap is made from recycled vegetable oil mixed with caustic soda, (and sometimes recycled animal fat)
- A chicken-run and chick creche.
