A space for current creation.
The 21st century had just begun, the sharpest bloodhounds of the regional cultural community began to track the great ships once dedicated to transforming cows into tenderloins. If there is a place, far from the art circuit, that has become (in just eleven years) a center of artistic creation of reference, that is the slaughterhouse . The Matadero is today a center for contemporary creation, with impressive spaces for exhibitions, workshops, plays, movies and various activities around these themes and more.
You can take a guided tour, where you can go through both the open spaces, in which the project being shown or the one being worked on at the time is explained, as well as the spaces usually closed to the public. .They are free and are organized upon request at 91 5177 309 or through [email protected].
In addition, among its one hundred thousand m2, you will find a corner to fill the stomach and feed the good life.
Designed by Emilio Esteras, the bar-cafe theater It is integrated into Nave 12, in the same space as the Naves del Español, the alternative headquarters of the emblematic theater. The cafeteria, with high ceilings and wooden floors, is summed up in a side bar where the omelette, the croquettes and the Madrid beer par excellence, a stall in the middle of the room (as if it were a piece of Lego) and a charming stage dedicated to talks, presentations and the most intimate concerts. Next to the recent Cineteca, in the same place where the Matadero boiler was located, la Cantina, a diaphanous and avant-garde cafeteria, points out ways as a meeting point for moderns.
