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.
