The Top Art Galleries in Almeria, Spain

According to the high-flown prose on its website, the Trino Tortosa Gallery is dedicated solely to “true works of art”. In accordance with that guiding principle, the pieces displayed as part of the gallery’s permanent collection are by some of Spain’s most revered artists, including Goya, Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró, another 20th century surrealist from Catalonia.

Almeria’s Doña Pakyta gallery is one of the two collections that jointly constitute the Museo de Arte de Almeria, and is often referred to as that museum’s “2nd space”. It is situated in a beautiful Basque-Style house and focuses on work by Almerian artists from the 1880s to the 1970s, in particular on the works of the Indaliano Group, who were working in the city in the 1940s and 50s.

The other half of Almeria’s Art Museum is found in a striking modernist building next to the city’s town hall. The focal point of this collection is art from 1980 to the present day; in particular, it takes a detailed look at the works of Madrid-born artist Antonio Lopez Garcia (b. 1936), who has been hailed by some critics as the greatest realist painter alive.
