Review & FAQ:
Once a decrepit industrial wasteland, the La Tabacalera de Lavapies is now one of the most popular places to visit in the heart of Madrid. Today, the La Tabacalera is an eye-catching and beautiful collection of murals painted on the multi-storied walls of what was once an old tobacco factory. A social and cultural space frequented by Madrid’s hippest locals, the La Tabacalera features a community space for people to gather, some patio space, a library, a bar, and even a kitchen. Extraordinarily, the conception of the space was actually more of a way to emphasize participatory democracy more than anything else. As such, the space often plays host to debates, lectures, exhibits, and galleries in addition to being a space for individual expression.
