Gaucin

Gaucin artists have collaborated for many years and have "Open Studios" for a week every May and ArtGaucin in early June.

Artists include:

Genalguacil

El Pueblo Museo, as it is known, this remote village holds an annual festival, whereby artists from around the world apply to take part. They are given free board and lodging, facilities and materials, and their task is to produce a piece of street art for the village.

There is also a permanent exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art “Fernando Centeno López” in the village.

A recommended visit.

Montejaque

There are and have been a number of artists working independently in the village for many years.
