Los Museos del aguardiente anisado de Rute y Espana

In Rute are the 'Museums of the aniseed liquor of Rute and Spain', which show, in a first part, the true history of anise in the municipality and, in a second area, that of the rest of Spain, being located in its showcases representations of all the Spanish provinces and even the former national colonies. More than 8,267 original pieces and 6,208 Spanish brands make up the exhibition space of approximately 500 square meters. We are different from everyone. We show new pieces that are not exposed, in situ, since what is exposed is only a small part of the total work done. Likewise, we open showcases, teaching and explaining much of the secrets that are hidden in them. In these Museums, in addition to showing the true history of the most important drink in the world - aniseed brandy, medicinal beverage with 27 healing properties, manufactured in more than 3,000 villages in Spain and more than 10,000 distilleries -, 6,208 brands can be contemplated, and the totality of what has come into existence will be progressively shown. We show the history of the Spanish signage, the glass bottle, the lithographic label, the graphic arts and lithographers, the invoice and the old advertising (now known as "marketing" or marketing). In the same way, the Museums of the aniseed brandy offer a selection of artisanal and natural spirits and liquors of the brand 'La flor del fresno', made 100% in their own way in Rute with original recipes from 1880, highlighting the coffee liqueur 'rosolíz' or distilled sweet anise, among others. Also, our permanent exhibition on the history of the toy is free of charge. A representation of the countries where best toys have been manufactured and the brightest brands in Spain are contemplated therein. We show, thus, toys that reach 130 years old, most of them in perfect operation and accompanied by their original packaging. For the Christmas campaign, by restructuring the contents of the showcases, we show a series of new toys and others that we have replaced. Are you going to miss it? Visit a unique space in the world in the heart of Andalusia! > After the established time, you can make your appointment by calling us.

This is an amazing exhibition and Pedro gave us an incredible amount of information. He was an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide. Pedro did not speak much English but we understood most of what he told us although our Spanish is not of the best, and he is a goldmine of information. There are some very intriguing things in this exhibition and it was fascinating to see how much history is stored in this museum. Well worth a visit and there is a tasting at the end of your visit. The coffee Anis is really nice. A place not to be missed.

Museum of Cadiz

Archeology, fine arts and ethnology museum. Important collection of Phoenician World and Murillo, Zurbarán, Rubens, Zuloaga, Sorolla, Miró... paintings

Reviewed By Pensionado - Castricum, The Netherlands

This museum has a very interesting archaeological section with finds from all periods showing that the region around Cádiz was inhabited from Neolithic times on, making Cádiz the oldest, permanently inhabited city of Europe. Especially the unique Phoenician finds are worth seeing including two marble anthropoid sarcophaguses. On the first floor is the fine art collection with a room dedicated to the Spanish painter Zurbarán and another to Murillo. For everybody interested in ancient culture and art, this museum should not be missed.

Palacio de Viana

The Palace of Viana is a lived house until the end of 20th century by noble families but with a great popular flavor instead. One of its main attractiveness are the "patios" and the garden that make it be known as Museum of the Patios. Indoor and outdoor are perfectly integrated, giving to the palace an original harmony. Among the collections stand out paintings, tapestries, leather and ceramic tiles among others.

This was one of the highlights of our short trip to Cordoba. We were blessed with a sunny day so we got to enjoy this amazing home. Please more you can’t visit inside but the gardens are absolutely lovely. We even went in the winter and the plants were blooming and stunning.

Alcazaba

Built between 1057 and 1063, this is probably the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period.

Reviewed By Fussybut - London, United Kingdom

This Moorish castle in the centre of Malaga is a must see for any visitor - not only offering unparalleled views over the port, cathedral, park and city but stretching over to the mountains behind. Breathtaking rooms and decoration, the usual fantastic Mozarabic flowing water features complement the week preserved and restored structures - what an elegant and massive fortress. There’s a nice little bar half way up the route and best of all it costs little more than £2 less for concessions.
