To define what La Mina is, it might be easier to explain what it’s not. In its new use – based on the idea of generating new ideas in old buildings – it is a space of common bonds where shared work is mixed with the fact that one weekend you can attend the best fanzine festival in the city among its tables.
But it is also the heritage left on the 300 square meters and the impossibly high ceilings that sheltered an old republican casino in the Carmen, now an old fashion design workshop … And it is the brave idea of its architects, Carmen Fuster and Maria Gras, that reinforced their ideal of a place for hybrid proposals that seek to break the thick wall that separates young people from the structures of their own city.
