- I'm back! The restrictions against the covid have been relaxed a bit and today I was able to take a walk through Tabakalera.
Activate the subtitles! I'm making comments about the route :-)
Tabakalera is a former tobacco factory in San Sebastián, Basque Autonomous Community, Spain, which was converted into a contemporary culture centre. Located in the Egia district of San Sebastián, next to the Estación del Norte railway station and the Cristina Enea Park, it takes up one of the biggest plots (13.277 m2) of the urban area.
For 90 years (1913-2003) Tabakalera was a tobacco factory. It was one of the main employers in San Sebastián and most of the workers were women. The building took the name of the enterprise that managed the tobacco production in Spain until the privatisation process that converted Tabacalera into Altadis.
In 2003 the factory was closed by Altadis. A year later, in 2004, the San Sebastián City Council, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and the Basque Government bought the building in order to transform it into the International Centre for Contemporary Culture of San Sebastián.
Since 2007 Tabakalera organised a wide sort of activities. Exhibitions like Summer by Julian Schnabel (2007), No es Neutral (2008), Egiatik (2008) and Look Again (2009) or experimental shortfilm screenings like LABO, in collaboration with Clermont-Ferrand Festival.
In 2010, refurbishment works began in the building. On September 11, 2015, the renovated building was inaugurated. The building contains exhibition halls, a multi-purpose plaza, a multi-purpose hall, a cinema theatre, a creation library called Ubik, media labs called Hirikilabs, spaces for art creation, a cafeteria called Taba, a residence for artists, and a four-star hotel, called One Shot Tabakalera House. It also hosts the headquarters of local culture institutions Kutxa Kultur, the Basque Film Archive, the San Sebastián International Film Festival, the Elías Querejeta Film School and the Etxepare Basque Institute.
I'm "The Walking Girl", a girl from Donostia / San Sebastian (Euskadi (Basque Country) in the north of Spain) walking through my city and other surrounding towns to show them to you. I don't put added music in my videos, I prefer that you can listen the sounds and the atmosphere of the city, that you experience the walking tours in first person, as if you were here!
And I like to put subtitles throughout the tour, with tourist information, curiosities, tips ... and my personal comments :-)
Now that we cannot travel, I offer you to enjoy the Basque Country from the comfort of your own home. And if there is any place in my country that you want to see, you just have to leave me a message and I will go to record a walking video!
Thanks, and I hope you subscribe !!
