Who we are
Anew Collective is a women's community in Costa Brava and platform for expat women in Spain building life here with intention, curiosity, and a little bit of chaos (the good kind).
We host thoughtfully curated gatherings—workshops, coastal walks, shared meals, family-friendly events—designed to help you connect, settle in, and actually feel at home.
Alongside our events, we share accessible resources and local insight for navigating expat life in Spain: the practical stuff (schools, residency, where to find good bread) and the emotional stuff (because moving abroad as a mother is its own particular adventure).
We also offer guidance for relocation, always with a human, grounded approach. Real support from people who've done this and know it's not always Instagram-worthy.
Founded by two mothers with backgrounds in design, food, and mental health, we blend cultural curiosity with genuine care—creating an international women community shaped by presence, good taste, and time spent together.
About us
Hi 👋 We're Luisa and Steph—two mothers, shaped by life across borders, united by a shared belief that gathering matters.
Luisa brings food, design, and an eye for beauty that makes everyday moments feel special. Steph brings psychology, wellbeing, and the kind of emotional steadiness you want in your corner when life gets messy.
Together, we're creating a soft place to land on the Costa Brava—where care is natural, this community in Costa Brava grows slowly (as good things do), and living well leads the way. Where motherhood abroad doesn't mean doing it alone.
We're building the community we needed when we first arrived. And we're really glad you found us.
