Fábrica de harinas La Esperanza
Fábrica de harinas La Esperanza, Industrial heritage building in Alcalá de Henares, Spain
The La Esperanza flour factory features vertical production distribution across multiple floors, following the Manchester factory architectural model with neo-Mudejar elements.
Founded by Sergio Real Hernández in 1916, the factory operated until 1988, reaching a production capacity of 22,000 kilograms per day during the 1930s.
The building represents the transformation of flour production methods from water-powered systems to electric mills, marking a significant industrial advancement in Madrid.
The facility now houses an Official Language School after a 1990 renovation project converted the industrial space into an educational complex.
The factory retains its complete original mechanical equipment from 1916, including Daverio cylinder mills and plansichters, representing first-generation flour milling technology.
