Once a tobacco factory, La Tabacalera in Lavapies today is nothing more than a decrepit building.

The corridors are heaved with graffiti connecting to numerous workshops and studios. Rather eerie; the place gives an edge when you crave learning about the deep and diverse culture.

The high-ceilinged entrance hall is all vibrant and a definite sight to see. People gather here to watch the grunge band but the best is a can of beer for just one euro.
