Museo Álvarez de Sotomayor

Situated in the municipality of Cuevas del Almanzora, most of the works and materials in Álvarez de Sotomayor Museum date from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

José María Álvarez de Sotomayor Museum has four permanent exhibition rooms where the poet's work environment is recreated, using furniture from his own office, living room, bedroom and library.

They are also over 200 literary works from the 18th and 19th centuries from Sotomayor's personal library, and some of the poet's pictures, etchings and paintings. Of note are his original manuscripts, his journal and his will.

His fascination with the Arab world has inspired a part of the museum, where a replica of the flag he invented is displayed, as well as many mosaics that used to adorn his cave-dwellings.

A bust of the poet can also be seen at the museum.
