Tabakalera San Sebastián

Donostia-San Sebastián is a city that captivates with its beauty, gastronomy, and culture. At the heart of the city lies a unique space that brings together all these qualities: Tabakalera. This former industrial building, now a cultural center, has become a cornerstone of cultural life in Donostia.

If you are staying at Lasala Plaza Hotel, you must not miss the opportunity to visit Tabakalera.

A space for all cultures

Tabakalera offers a wide and diverse cultural program, featuring exhibitions, concerts, theater, dance, cinema, and much more. Across its various spaces, you will find something for every taste and age.

"The Power of the Image"

This collective exhibition brings together works by contemporary artists who use images as tools to reflect on current social and political realities.

"Soundscapes"

This interactive exhibition invites us to immerse ourselves in different soundscapes from around the world. Through audiovisual installations, we can listen to the sounds of the sea, rain, or the city.

"Jesus Uriarte. Chillida at Work"

This exhibition, part of the centenary celebrations of Eduardo Chillida's birth, explores the relationship between the Basque sculptor and the Alavese painter Jesus Uriarte. Through a selection of works by both artists, the exhibition invites us to reflect on the friendship and creative dialogue between two great figures of Basque art.

Chillida's Centenary

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Eduardo Chillida's birth, one of the most universal and influential Spanish artists of the 20th century. With roots in the Basque Country, Chillida embraced global horizons and transformed them into unique spaces for societal encounters. The centenary celebration is an opportunity to promote not only his work but also his values, sensitivity, and contributions to the history of contemporary art.
