Guided Tour of Fabra i Coats Creation Factory

Step inside Barcelona's Fabra i Coats: Fàbrica de Creació, a former textile mill reborn as a hub for artistic innovation. On this guided tour, you'll uncover the building's industrial past—from the Fabra and Coats family's role in the textile market to the daily lives of its workers—and trace its transformation into a contemporary creation space. Along the way, you'll learn what an artistic residency entails and meet the artists who have worked within these walls.

The tour answers questions like: How did the factory become a center for cultural creation? What happens there today? Held in Catalan, the visit is free, but advance registration is required. The meeting point is in the interior lobby of the Fabra i Coats building, easily recognizable by its tall chimney.
