The second most important art museum in Almeria. In this museum of contemporary art, up to 4 different artistic disciplines are exhibited and works from 1980 to the present are shown, which makes it a reference space within the world of modern art. It is distributed in four exhibition halls.

History of Nigüelas

The history of Nigüelas dates back to prehistoric times. The first signs of human settlement in the area date back to the Neolithic era, when the inhabitants lived in small communities and relied on agriculture and livestock farming for survival. Various archaeological finds, such as stone tools and pottery shards, attest to the presence of these early settlers. The area continued to be inhabited during the Metal Age, especially the Bronze Age, as evidenced by burials and metal objects that suggest an evolving society.

Home Visits

There are a number of instances in which doctors or nurses can be sent to your home. Technically this is something that should be offered to you in times of need, however, in practice you're dealing with a public system and you would do well to know your rights and then insist on them (if necessary try "polite pleading" as it often has good results).

Estepona Mural - Isa Kitty II

Isa Kitty II - Located above a hairdressing salon on Calle Calvario this mural was privately commissioned by the owner of the salon. It was inaugurated on 13 September 2013 and was created by the artist Ana Cecilia Salinas.  It is not on the 'official' mural's route, however we include it in our listings for information.

Los Cuchillos Walk

This shortish circular route takes you round the rocky massif that lies just to the north of the Refugio de Juanar with an optional 45 minute diversion to the top of the jagged ridge of Los Cuchillos, El Picacho de Castillejos (1238m). Even though I’ve graded the walk as Easy/Medium don’t imagine that this is in any way a dull route.

Wild Flowers - Lapiedra martinezii

This pretty, small bulbous perennial is native to Spain and Morocco. It is in the daffodil family, Amarylidaceae, and is a monotypic genus, so this is the only species.

Lapiedra martinezii has a single stem which grows to around 25cm tall and is oval-shaped with channelled ridges. There are usually 2-3 leaves from each bulb, which appear after flowering. These are very distinctive. They are dull-green, linear with a rounded tip and most obvious is the silvery-white central stripe on each leaf.

Cruces

Since ancient times, seventeen crosses have been placed along the streets of Padul to symbolise the religious faith of its inhabitants.

Painted by the malagueno artist, Curro Leyton, this mural measures 264 square metres and features a 16m high figure which is his modern interpretation of Don Quijote, one of the most famous characters from Spanish literature. It is located on a wall of the Puerta del Mar Institute on Calle Eslovaquia. Leyton created his updated vision of Quijote in collaboration with some of the students of the institute. 

Malaga city Bus service

GLBT Events and festivals

The first big GLBT event of the year in Torremolinos is the Gala Drag Queen del Carnival Gay, which is held on the first weekend in March. This colorful drag queen gala, organized by the ACOGAT, gay merchants association of Torremolinos, contains all of the sequined outrageousness associated with the world of drag.

Festivals

Popular festivals in Bubión are Cabalgata Reyes Magos, Chisco de San Antón, Fiestas Patronales en honor a San Sebastián y San Antón, Semana Santa, Fiestas de San Juan, Semana Cultural and Mauraca.

Puente Viejo (Old bridge)

Built in the 16th century, possibly on remnants of an earlier bridge, this was the one navigable link between Mercadillo and La Ciudad until the completion of the Puente Nuevo centuries later. Cars still need good gears and drivers with steely nerves to take the steep hairpin bend on the way up to the cuesta de Santo Domingo.
