Museo de Alfarería / Pottery Museum
Established by German ethnologist Ilse Schütz, the museum is located in a former 20th-century ceramics factory with an original Arabic kiln. Displays in each room illustrate the production process, from collecting the clay in nearby quarries to firing in wood-fired furnaces. Also on display is a collection of unique pieces donated by town residents.
This rustic casa rural has four self-sufficient apartments with kitchenettes, TV, and free Wi-Fi.
