Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares

Málaga


Located in a 17th-century inn, the Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares specialises in everyday rural and urban life of the past; note the barros (painted clay figures) of characters from Málaga folklore. To get here, head west on the Alameda Principal from the city centre and turn right when you get to the Río Guadalmedina.
