Hi, we’re a residential recording studio in Spain and charge £750 for 5 days in the studio with 6 nights’ accommodation for up to 6 people. Shorter / longer stays and recording / holiday deals also available.
We will be putting our prices up on 30th September so anyone thinking of coming here in 2011 should book before that date to get the lower price.
