Tribute to Tere Caja: A Voice and a Fight for the Gothic Quarter

Tribute to Tere Caja: A Voice and a Fight for the Gothic Quarter

The city of Barcelona bids farewell to Tere Caja, a tireless activist and a driving force behind the Gothic Quarter’s community struggles. As a key figure in the Plataforma Borsí, she dedicated her life to defending the rights of local residents and preserving the social fabric in the face of speculative forces transforming the city’s historic center.

With unwavering determination, Tere Caja became a leading voice in the fight for a Gothic Quarter that belongs to its people, working to turn the Borsí into a space for the community. Thanks to her drive and ability to mobilize, she gathered collective efforts to shape projects that prioritized public interest over urban commodification.

From Drap-Art and from all the spaces where she left her mark, we want to remember her with deep gratitude and admiration. Her commitment and fighting spirit will continue to inspire future generations.

Thank you for everything, Tere. Your legacy will keep growing.
