About CCA

The Centro Cultural Andratx (CCA) for contemporary art was founded in 2001 by Jacob and Patricia Asbaek. The 4.000 m2 building is one of the largest centres of contemporary art in the Balearic Islands and, indeed, Europe.

Visitors, collectors and artists are invited to spend a day exploring art and nature (visitors can enjoy walking in the glorious grounds behind the building), and indulging in a drink, snack or delicious lunch in their airy and attractive café, with its al fresco terrace – which offers spectacular views of the mountains.

The centre´s large and elegant courtyard, with the calming sound of its central water features, is used for summertime classical concerts, jazz and flamenco performances, and lends itself to a variety of events.
