EITHER Can Batllo (Constitució, 19), a very similar space self-managed by the residents. There is also the Unusual Project (Paloma, 5), a center with live music, recitals, classes and film forums in the Raval.

If the touch makes love, of Fight club (Casp, 147), center specializing in martial arts, a lot of romance should come out.
