Cigarreres
There is no doubt that the 'cigarreres' shaped the city of Gijón, writing-quite an understatement-160 years of its history through 'La Tabacalera,' the tobacco factory located in the Cimavilla neighborhood. Beyond the history held within these walls, 'Cigarreres' explores the extent to which this factory was entwined with the society from Gijón. Far beyond the production, organization, and distribution of its goods-tobacco-lies the uniqueness of its human capital: the women, the 'cigarreres'. This is the story of the last 'cigarreres', heirs to a matriarchal tradition that endured until the factory's closure in 2002.
