In celebration, Los del Rio will host guests at the luxurious Andalusian villa that they use as a rural getaway for musical inspiration.

“We can’t believe 25 years have gone by since ‘Macarena’ became one of the most listened to songs of summer,” they said in a statement. “Without a doubt, the best way to celebrate this milestone with our fans is to open the doors of our favorite rural refuge and list it on Airbnb.

The two-night stay will not only include access to Andalusian gardens, a swimming pool, a karaoke room, and even private cooking and dancing lessons, but also the opportunity to hang out with Los del Rio themselves to dance the timeless “Macarena.”

Inspired by a woman named Madalena, Romero crafted the melody that would become “Macarena” during a 1993 studio session; the “Macarena” topped the Billboard Hot 100 on August 3, 1996.
