Outdoor plants

They operate with self-irrigation systems, so no need to worry about watering them.

Cactus

They need to be watered once a month.

How to manage your waste

At Ukio, we support sustainable practices and believe in the importance of recycling. This section will guide you through everything you need to know about recycling in Barcelona, from sorting your waste to finding local recycling services. Together, we can make a positive impact!

You’ll find the trash bin in the kitchen. When it’s full, simply take it downstairs or to the nearest street bin. For more tips on waste disposal in your area, check out the helpful links below or refer to your Guest Portal for additional guidance.

Meet your portero

In Spain, many apartment buildings feature a Portero (Doorman) – the welcoming face of the building! Their roles can vary: some oversee general operations and ensure everything runs smoothly, while others assist with specific tasks.

We suggest kindly asking them directly to understand their role in your building. Your portero can be a helpful presence, adding a touch of ease and familiarity to your Ukio home.
