Liked the cool forecourt and artifacts on display, plus a photographic exhibition when I visited. A nice small garden too.

The traffic in the narrow streets of Arcos de la Frontera can be a bit disconcerting. Stepping into this beautiful building makes it seem very far away. The exhibits of photography and local history when I visited were very good.

I was first attracted to this building as I heard laughter coming out. I peaked i and saw that there were older folks playing cards and dominoes and having a great time. I walked in and saw they had a bar (1 euro coffee and milk, 2 euros breakfast which is coffee and milk and a roll) and beyond that various art exhibits, room dedicated to the famous Spanish dancer Antonio, another room dedicated to writers and poets from the town along with old printing machinery, etc. Clean bathrooms, free entrance, nice garden. Be sure to go upstairs for more paintings of Arcos.…

Little hard to find but is located opposite the Iglesia de San Pedro in Calle Nunez de Prado. Free of charge, the architecture of the 17th century palace makes a pretty setting for an extensive display of art and some sculpture,depicting spectacular local vistas and landmarks in many styles. Cultural and craft artefacts are also on display. On the ground floor you can wander into a cool Arab style patio to further appreciate the long history of this small but well proportioned casa-palacio which still displays the coat of arms of the Prado family, a branch of the founding family, This also helps explain the name preserved by the street where the Palacio still stands. All in all, a good way to soak up the special charm and quiet of Arcos, and the beauty captured in the many landscape paintings on display. And it's free!…
