Why go

Tabakalera brings a different side of the city into view in Egia. The factory operated for decades and employed many women before closing in 2003; its large interior now holds exhibition rooms, a cinema and creative spaces. It is a useful cultural stop near the station and Cristina Enea park.

What to look for

  • The former factory’s large interior reflects its industrial past.
  • Exhibition spaces and a cinema support its contemporary arts programme.
  • The building stands beside the railway station and Cristina Enea park.

Useful to know

  • Check the current exhibition or film programme before choosing how much time to spend inside.
  • Combine the centre with Cristina Enea or a station-area walk.
