It's unclear what the Fábrica is. An abandoned building, vestiges of the administration place of a former war material factory. It has 12 mutant rooms, which are both concert halls and art galleries, theatre and cinema, jewelry shop, second hand shop for clothes and other things to use, dining rooms, bar, or simply bookstores. But it is also a huge outer wall, which draws out a yard, and where several layers of graffiti that have been deposited, as layers of memory. It is also a huge terrace, a place for theater shows and circus, summer concerts and ball games for children on Sundays afternoon.
