Art Museums
In Rute are the 'Museums of the aniseed liquor of Rute and Spain', which show, in a first part, the true history of anise in the municipality and, in a second area, that of the rest of Spain, being located in its showcases representations of all the Spanish provinces and even the former national colonies. More than 8,267 original pieces and 6,208 Spanish brands make up the exhibition space of approximately 500 square meters. We are different from everyone. We show new pieces that are not exposed, in situ, since what is exposed is only a small part of the total work done. Likewise, we open showcases, teaching and explaining much of the secrets that are hidden in them. In these Museums, in addition to showing the true history of the most important drink in the world - aniseed brandy, medicinal beverage with 27 healing properties, manufactured in more than 3,000 villages in Spain and more than 10,000 distilleries -, 6,208 brands can be contemplated, and the totality of what has come into existence will be progressively shown. We show the history of the Spanish signage, the glass bottle, the lithographic label, the graphic arts and lithographers, the invoice and the old advertising (now known as "marketing" or marketing). In the same way, the Museums of the aniseed brandy offer a selection of artisanal and natural spirits and liquors of the brand 'La flor del fresno', made 100% in their own way in Rute with original recipes from 1880, highlighting the coffee liqueur 'rosolíz' or distilled sweet anise, among others. Also, our permanent exhibition on the history of the toy is free of charge. A representation of the countries where best toys have been manufactured and the brightest brands in Spain are contemplated therein. We show, thus, toys that reach 130 years old, most of them in perfect operation and accompanied by their original packaging. For the Christmas campaign, by restructuring the contents of the showcases, we show a series of new toys and others that we have replaced. Are you going to miss it? Visit a unique space in the world in the heart of Andalusia! > After the established time, you can make your appointment by calling us.

    This is an amazing exhibition and Pedro gave us an incredible amount of information. He was an enthusiastic and very knowledgeable guide. Pedro did not speak much English but we understood most of what he told us although our Spanish is not of the best, and he is a goldmine of information. There are some very intriguing things in this exhibition and it was fascinating to see how much history is stored in this museum. Well worth a visit and there is a tasting at the end of your visit. The coffee Anis is really nice. A place not to be missed.

    As mentioned in other reviews a Sunday visit can be very busy with tours and the museum guides take groups through the first rooms explaining the experience and then let you wander off to encounter it.

    It is amazing what they have done especially if everything is total sugar and not just a coating.. take it for what you see, enjoy!!

    The Church of San Francisco de Asis was built in 1889 by the Bishop of Cordoba Sebastian Herrero y Espinosa de los Monteros. In this place there used to be a Franciscan convent, which before that had the old Hermitage of the Virgen de la Cabeza. The church has the Franciscan style and has three naves and two chapels, the Capilla del Sagrario made in 1965 and the Capilla de la Virgen del Carmen, which has a Neobaroque style and was constructed in 1914. The church has a statue of the Cristo de la Misericordia, of polychromed wood from the 17th century in the Baroque style and attributed to Alonso de Mena. Other sculptures are those of Jesus de la Rosa and the Virgen del Mayor Dolor, both of the Granada school. The dressing room of the Virgen de la Cabeza and the cupola have rich plaster decorations created by Cecilio Antonio Franco Roldan, from 1763. It shows the late Baroque style of Andalusia.

    It was a Sunday and the factory floor was empty, everything at a standstill except the shop which was selling Christmas sweets and Turron.

    The most interesting part and the one we spent most time in was the building to the left which houses all their old equipment and from around October to January a Nativity display. Well worth spending time on but the sweet factory bit is, let's say, boring ;)
