El Molino, Historical cabaret theatre in El Poble-sec, Barcelona, Spain
The theatre building displays a blend of Noucentisme and contemporary design elements, with a red exterior facade and decorative windmill blades.
El Molino opened its doors in 1910, establishing itself as Barcelona's response to Paris's Moulin Rouge with performances that challenged social norms.
The venue presents cabaret shows, burlesque performances, and traditional theatre productions that maintain Spanish performing arts traditions.
Located at Vila i Vila 99, the 250-seat theatre provides shows from Wednesday to Sunday with direct access from Parallel metro station.
During Spain's censorship period, performers at El Molino developed coded language and gestures to communicate controversial messages to their audience.
