Museo Automovilístico de Málaga

About this audio guide

This guide to the Museo Automovilistico de Malaga follows a father-and-son hobby that began just after World War Two: Portuguese collector Antonio Magalhaes and his son Joao driving from farmhouse to farmhouse, asking whether anyone had a forgotten car rusting under a tarp. You'll hear how that habit never stopped, as Joao kept finding cars nobody else wanted and quietly built one of Europe's most complete private collections. The guide also traces the building itself, Malaga's former royal tobacco factory, begun in 1923 and reopened as a museum in 2010. Walk the rooms in order to see decades of cars, each restored exactly as it left the showroom floor.
