El centre social nasqué amb la voluntat de dinamitzar un entorn que es trobava totalment abandonat

La Figa Tendra és un espai alliberat amb quasi dos anys d’existència que es troba a Godella (Horta Nord). Es compon de dues casetes que han estat rehabilitades, el terreny cultivable que les envolta i d’una figuera centenària, símbol del projecte.
