Museo del Tabaco, Tobacco museum in Sant Julia de Loria, Andorra.
The Tobacco Museum sits in a former factory building from the early 1900s, containing authentic machinery and production equipment that spans multiple decades of manufacturing history. The spaces preserve the original layout and show how tobacco was processed and prepared in this location.
The building operated as the Reig factory from 1909 through 1957, marking a major period for local tobacco production and economic growth. It was later converted into a museum to preserve this chapter of regional industrial heritage.
The exhibits reveal how tobacco shaped the identity and livelihoods of the community, with families often working multiple generations in the industry. Daily routines and labor practices visible here demonstrate the central role the crop held in local life.
The building is located in Sant Julia de Loria and is easy to access, with clearly marked entrances and signage. The interior is manageable in size and can be explored comfortably on foot without extensive navigation.
A multimedia guidance system leads visitors through the factory floors while recreating authentic aromas and sounds of the production process. This sensory experience allows people to feel connected to what workers experienced during the daily labor.
