Espacio Naranjo

Espacio Naranjo is an alternative cultural space in Madrid's sprawling working class neighborhood of Tetuan. Situated in an old industrial workshop, Espacio Naranjo hosts exhibitions, performances, concerts, micro-festivals, and installations from a wide variety of national and international artists.

I first went to Espacio Naranjo for a concert/party on a Sunday afternoon and I was totally surprised that a space like this existed. I live in Tetuan and I can assure you that it's a decidedly uncreative, grey, and industrial area, so it was a shock to find this oasis of bright graffiti, interesting music, and DIY ethos, just the kind of place I had always hoped would blossom in the area.
