On the second floor visitors can see how traditional crafts such as carpentry have evolved through the years. Open from 09.00 to 14.00 and from 17.00 to 19.00.

Foto Art Mijas

Foto Art in Mijas is a photography gallery showing the works of the late photographer Jesus Jaime Mota (1964-2011), who was born in the town. The gallery is managed by Jesus' widow and his son Alejandro.   During his photographic career Jesus travelled the world with his camera, winning numerous prestigious awards at national and international level. His photos appeared in the Sunday Times Magazine, among many others, and he also collaborated on humanitarian projects.

This gallery is a place where you can be transported from Mijas to far-off destinations such as Tanzania, Burma and India. It’s full of visual treats, the prices of his work are very reasonable so you can take home your own treasured memento of Jesus' unique perspective.   Alejandro is following in the footsteps of his highly acclaimed father, and the young photographer's contemporary work, many of the images depicting Mijas itself, are on sale in the gallery. Well worth a visit.
