El Huerto de Lucas is an ECOGASTRO-CULTURAL project in the Chueca neighbourhood of Madrid.
Over 450 square metres dedicated to the health and wellbeing of the body and the environment through food. Food of the highest quality and 100% organic. Promoting health and wellbeing for you and the environment.
by Dr. Pilar Muñoz-Calero.
El Huerto de Lucas was founded to promote good health, but not in the sense of curing an ailment, but a health and wellbeing that comes from the state of plenitude we feel as human beings who are living with all of our faculties activated and alert.
Are we weak when our bodies reject the multitude of potentially toxic substances all around us (in food, water, air…)? Or is it that Nature itself, not in a state of weakness but from being real, that cannot adapt to all of these changes, as we lose a multitude of species each day.
The true weakness may not be nature, that which is forced to adapt to all of these impurities. The true weakness is more likely our human insensitivity and greed. We need a change in consciousness to once again find awareness and common that will lead us to a state of wellbeing.
So do we confuse sensitivity with weakness?
El Huerto de Lucas would like to provoke the thought that it is not “weak” but “strong”, and it is a sensibility in us that can be developed when we “awaken” our senses, to help us better perceive beauty and a true sense of life that can guide our way to health.
To do this, the market offers food without contaminants, clean water and carefully sourced elements so that we can breathe the purest possible air; together with informative campaigns and lectures that look to open a dialogue on today’s best practices… We are a little garden in a tiny corner of Madrid. We are here for those who by necessity live the urban life but who still yearn to be near the natural world.

Through bio-health design and toxin-free construction, the More&Co study by Paula Rosales envisioned what would be an original in Spain. From conception of this architectural project to the selection of its building materials, El Huerto de Lucas is designed to enhance wellbeing by being a living, healthy, conscientious and human space.
One hundred percent healthy, an island of nature and wellbeing within the big city. The vertical garden in the entrance, the hanging plants in the interior patio all play into this deep feeling.
Moreover, taking every advantage of the cycles for raw materials has minimalized the overall environmental impact.
Eating organic means looking out for your health, protecting the environment and giving support to those growers committed to quality food.
Organic products do not use:
Organic fruits and vegetables are not always the most beautiful, but wait to try them and you will find them more flavourful, in addition, they are nutritionally the better option as they contain more vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
But it is not just plant-based food that can be certified organic. Organics can also be meat-based, as long as they have been produced in compliance with those same criteria by providing animals with conditions conducive to developing their most basic functions in the most natural form possible.
To eat the healthiest and most flavourful food with more nutrients and vitamins.
