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.

This is one of the most impressive archaeological Spanish museums. It offers a wide range of exhibits from prehistoric times up to the period of Arabic rule that gave its name (“Al-Andalus”) to the present Spanish province of Andalusia and shows the various architectural styles of that era. The visit starts on the first floor, but towards the end of the tour, in the basement, one visits the restored archaeological site of a Roman theatre (“Corduba” was the capital of the “Bética” province when the Romans ruled over Spain).

We did not know about this fairly famous Spanish artist before visiting the museum. He is known for his great paintings of Andalucian women. If you visit the Carmen Thyssen museum in Granada, you will see a couple of his works there as well. Recommended.

This small museum is packed with wonderfully informative exhibits in both English and Spanish on the history, achievements, and hardships of Spain’s Sephardic Jews. It is very weworth investing an hour or two to explore.

Museo del Guadameci Omeya. Exposicion de Ramon Garcia Romero y Jose Carlos V. Garcia

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.
