La Ceiba - where creativity comes to life

Creativity is contagious and La Ceiba certainly bares the fruit of all the different characters that are connected to this place. 
La Ceiba Grafica is a community or a hacienda for artists in Xalapa and Coatepec. Its a huge beautiful mansion with workshops, studios and chillout zones for all different styles. There are dorms for people to sleep in, a huge kitchen, gardens, balconies, equipments, machines, flowers... you name it! As far as i understood it is now owned by the government and artists are provided with scholarships to work there.
I was so lucky my friend and his girlfriend are working there so we got to hang out for a day and breath in the inspiration.

So if you ever find yourself in the area. Track down an artist and demand that he takes you here! Cause you do not want to miss out on this place :)
