Telecogresca is the Telecom BCN's annual festival and known to be the largest university festival in Spain. [1] [2]
The first Telecogresca took place on December 1, 1978, [3] to celebrate the construction of the new building of the university in the street Jordi Girona. On that first occasion, the party took place in the school itself with a remarkable participation, while putting the first stone of what that nowadays it is. [4]
