The Soho art district of Malaga is a buzzing creative area of alternative culture located next to the Guadalmedina river, which has sprung up largely thanks to, and inspired by, the CAC (Centro de Arte Contemporaneo).
The Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo is housed in the magnificent 15th-century Monasterio Santa Maria de las Cuevas. Known as La Cartuja, this is located in the district of the same name, north of Triana and across the river from the city centre – look for the iconic, cone-shaped towers.
Andalucía is renowned for its magnificent heritage of art and culture. Throughout the region, there are museums, historical monuments and galleries devoted to this historical tradition. However, it is important to remember that it is a tradition that continues to flourish today with some of the finest painters and artists in the world exhibiting their work at galleries throughout the major cities.
