La Térmica

This guide to La Térmica in Málaga traces the building's start as the Casa de Misericordia, an orphanage the provincial government built in the early twentieth century whose final bill ran well past its original budget. It follows the boys housed here who were put to work learning trades like shoemaking, carpentry, baking and printing, and the one workshop whose presses won an unusual government contract. Notice the walls that once heard the clack of type being set now hold artists and exhibitions instead.
