This Museum-House is unique in the world as it shows the recovery of the original Omeya techniques to work on the leather used like decoration. All this thanks to our master Mr. Ramón García Romero and Jose Carlos Villarejo García, research artists on Caliphal and sumptuary techniques which were developed in Cordoba in the 10th century. In particular, you will learn on the genuine Omeya labour regarding their git-leather panels (guadamecíes), which became extraordinarily famous around the world due to their esthetic quality and outstanding beauty. This gilt-leather panel (guadamecí) was a really appreciated piece which showed a plant and geometric design. It consisted in gilding the leather so as, later, to get it polychromed and ironed and used almost exclusively in important houses and palaces.

We found this little museum by chance. It's a wonderful showcase of Ramón García Romero's life's work: sumptuous leather decorated with gold and silver leaf, chased and painted, in the "guadamecí" style of the Umayyad dynasty (who ruled Córdoba 929-1017). I'd never seen anything like it, and I'm really happy we went. All the work in the house-museum deserves a closer look; it's a small museum but we went twice for over an hour each time, and could have happily gone more. The pictures draw you in and they all have a huge amount of detail that you just can't take in all at once. García Romero's work spans so many styles - from traditional designs through Cubistic chickens to the Virgin of Guadalupe. The gentleman in charge of the museum when we went is the artist's cousin. He is very friendly and enthusiastic about the work on display. He doesn't speak a lot of English, but the written descriptions on the walls are well translated and the work speaks for itself. The curator/attendant's son has carried on the family tradition, and produced the guadamecí work on sale in the shop. The museum is completely free - though it's well worth making a contribution to its upkeep in the discreet box in the final room (by the visitors' book). It's all on the ground floor, with a series of connecting rooms housing the work.

This is the birthplace and childhood home of Niceto Alcala Zamora, Spanish politician and former President of the Republic. It has been very well restored to the style of that epoch and also has information about the political events of the time and career of Alcala Zamora.

Stumbled upon it by accident and was very happy for that. Nice, peculiar courtyard with flamenco museum. One can learn so much. Free to visit.
