Museum of Spanish Abstract Art
Museo de Arte Abstracto Español
An abstract art museum housed in the Hanging Houses, displaying major works of mid-20th-century Spanish abstraction, with windows looking straight into the gorge.
Founded in 1966 by painter Fernando Zóbel, the museum is now run by the Juan March Foundation. Its collection includes key works of Spanish abstraction by artists such as Antonio Saura, Antoni Tàpies and Gustavo Torner. The galleries occupy the interior of the Hanging Houses, where windows set among the wooden beams and white walls frame views of the Huécar Gorge, so both the architecture and the art are worth seeing. Admission is free, and the museum is closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 11:00–14:00, 16:00–18:00 (closed Sunday afternoon)
