Gallery sights in Andalucía

  1. A

    Centro José Guerrero

    The Centro José Guerrero is dedicated to the most celebrated artist to come out of Granada - abstract expressionist José Guerrero (1914-91), who was born in the city but found fame in New York in the 1950s. The centre exhibits good temporary shows as well as a permanent collection of Guerrero's dramatic and colourful canvases. It's well worth a visit. Located just along the street from La Madraza (in the university).

    Palacio de la Aduana

    The Palacio de la Aduana is set to become the permanent home of the city’s museum, but not until 2012. Art exhibitions have been suspended, but meanwhile you can marvel at one of Andalucía’s largest and most magnificent patios, and take shelter from the sun under glossy, broad-leafed plants.

    Museo Julio Romero de Torres

    A former hospital houses what is, surprisingly enough, Córdoba’s most visited museum, the Museo Julio Romero de Torres, devoted to revered local painter Julio Romero de Torres (1873–1930). Romero de Torres specialised in sensual yet sympathetic portraits of Cordoban women.
