THE VENUE
Starting from Carrer Saragossa 1, embark on a journey through El Farró's backbone – a neighborhood balancing artisan sobriety with residential echoes. Centuries-old facades along this street showcase discreet architecture, enriched by floral motifs or wrought-iron railings that define the area's identity. Once a main thoroughfare and commercial hub, this axis connects a network of streets where neighborhood life still thrives. Further down, at number 29, Vil·la Urania stands – a cultural space rooted in scientific outreach, a testament to its diverse historical layers.
