Tourist Attractions & Monuments Spain

The first anthropological museum created in Spain, in 1875, is housed in a 19th century building and shares its premises with the National Library of Spain. In addition to temporary exhibitions on a specific theme, the permanent rooms present the culture of the different peoples of America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The room dedicated to the Philippines is particularly rich following Spain's long presence in these islands.

Fábrica is a private cultural institution that hosts year-round exhibitions of quality photography and video art in the basement. The exhibitions highlight in particular the artists to whom Fábrica provides support. The cultural institution being also a publishing house, it also has its own bookshop on the ground floor. There are art books and beautiful photo books in particular. You can also enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine or enjoy the very good restaurant next door.

Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, this privileged site for whale watching will allow you to see whales, dolphins, killer whales, sperm whales and even whales in their natural environment. The Foundation for Information and Research on Marine Mammals, a Swiss non-profit scientific platform and informant, has been fighting for more environmentally friendly behaviour towards the oceans since 1989. It guarantees the observation of 99% of cetaceans. Each sea trip is preceded by 45 minutes of informative explanations.

Built between the xie and the xivth century by the Maures, it served both as a military fortress and as a royal residence. A testimony of medieval times and of the Taifa malagueña, it consists of several concentric walls punctuated by towers. The site is splendid, especially since the Alcazaba was renovated at the beginning of the century. With bougainvillea and cypress scattered on both sides. An Archeological Museum displays the remains found in the Alcazaba (potteries, Roman statues…) and is housed in the palace; At his feet, we can observe the presence of the Roman theater dating back to the era of the Emperor Augustus.

By climbing the gardens of Puerta Oscura, the steep paths along the lighthouse of the Lighthouse provide a splendid view of Málaga and its bay to the interior of the bullring (also access by bus No. 35). The origins of the castle are discussed: The building could partly date from the Punic era, with the Phoenicians already using the mount as a watchtower. Remanié in the th century under the reign of Yusuf I, the building was united at the Alcazaba by fortifications.

The quintessence of the image of Seville, the Judería, the old Jewish quarter, very limited in comparison to what it was originally, offers itself as a labyrinth of streets and squares where the traveller can satisfy his curiosity in a playful manner. Beautiful white houses with wrought iron doors and facades adorned with geraniums and small squares covered with orange trees which fill in the spring… There is no route to advise, but places that deserve a dangerous quest. Here are some: Plaza Doña-Elvira, Santa-Maria-la-blanca, Hospital de los Venerables or Museo-Casa Murillo.

This elegant neoclassical square is one of the most popular in Barcelona. Formerly the property of the Capuchins, it was designed by the architect Francesc Molina between 1848 and 1860. Framed by arcades and adorned with palm trees, the square is lit by modernist street lamps by Gaudí, while the Three Graces fountain, from 1876, embellishes the central part. The luxurious atmosphere it once had is now tinged with a bohemian touch that encourages relaxation. In the evening, its many bars and restaurants are fully booked.
