Auto Emoción

We finally made it to the stunning Museo Automovil de Málaga - and I was seduced!

On the western edge of the capital, this extraordinary museum is in the recently renovated tobacco factory in the Carretera de Cadiz neighbourhood of Malaga, close to the beach. It houses what is said to be one of the most important collections of vintage cars in the world.

Even before entering, the building is a pleasure; known locally as the 'La Tabacalera', the factory complex was built in the early 1920s and has been derelict for a generation. It is now going to be a new cultural campus housing new museums, of which the Automobile Museum in the first. The huge building has a fascinating combination of clean industrial lines, with artisan detailing including beautiful brick work and ceramics.
