No less remarkable is the famous Museu de L´Erotica, first museum dedicated to art and culture of eroticism in Spanish, which approaches to the seductive through the exhibition of more than eight hundred items of considerable historical value and from a transversal approach which includes disciplines such as, literature, art, archeology, history, anthropology, food, film and antiques. It also houses a permanent exhibition of erotic art, which are works by artists known and admired worldwide. With the entrance the visitor is entitled to a free drink. Nor could... read more
