Why you should visit it
Despite being mostly a venue for creative businesses, LX Factory offers a rich programme that includes concerts, film screenings, conferences, theatre plays, performances, exhibitions and parties. Here you can also find the restaurant A Cantina, with delicious food at quite affordable prices, and the three-storey book shop Ler Devagar.
Special tip
Twice a year, usually in May and November, an Open Day is held, during which visitors can see the workspaces and projects of the resident companies.
