Where did the idea for this accommodation come from?
The origin of the idea was born when I was still living in Barcelona.
Seeing the Atlantic from afar and with another perspective made me think that I wanted to somehow enhance our Culture and our Atlantic Style, give it shape and create something that would allow us to recognize, remember and admire it.
We decided to move back to Galicia to undertake and start a project that I had been dreaming of for a long time.
I had been working in the hotel sector for years, as a consultant and seeing the business of large hotels from the inside.
I traveled a lot and was lucky enough to observe many accommodations.
I wanted to create an accommodation with a cosmopolitan character but without giving up the essence of the Atlantic culture and much closer to the people who came.
I believe the simplicity that nature brings is enough to fill any room.

What is the identity of the brand?
Our identity is the reflection of the essence of the Atlantic culture: feeling belonging to the Atlantic community, its culture, landscape, people, design, etc.
Our goal is to enhance the beauty of the Atlantic style, respect the planet and work with brands that care for the environment, our ocean, our forests and our surroundings.
In Lar Atlántica the details are very important, what are these?
Each of the elements that are part of the space are inspired by the Atlantic culture.
From the palette of colors that represent the fog, the wet sand at low tide and the blue of the ocean, to other details such as hangers that are wooden cleats, benches painted in the ultramarine blue characteristic of fishing boats, wooden floors of chestnut tree and ferns very characteristic of our forests.
The typography is stencil like that of ships seen in ports.
The branding that surrounds the brand has been designed to help convey that Atlantic feeling that we seek.

It is a very cultural and musical neighborhood that is worth discovering.
