Get on the La Caldera bus and you'll be able to tour different creative spaces in Barcelona for a whole day, and you'll participate in activities in each one. A walk through the city that is different and full of surprises.
Since it was first founded 18 years ago, La Caldera has established links with other centres for the creative arts in the city, forming a network that you are now invited to discover for yourselves. To do so, you will take a bus tour, accompanied by several narrators and rhapsodists who will recite and read you legends, anecdotes, short stories and popular tales. A literary calligram inspired by the centres visited. The tour ends at the Laribal Gardens (Montjuïc), where a different closing show will take place every Saturday.
The tour will feature a varied series of shows, workshops and performances:
