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.

El Castillo de Almodóvar es una fortaleza de origen árabe construida en el año 740. Perteneció al Califato de Córdoba y a las Taifas de Sevilla, Carmona y Toledo. Fue conquistado por Fernando III El Santo 4 años después de conquistar Córdoba. Bajo el reinado de Pedro I El Cruel el castillo sirvió de vivienda, cárcel real y un lugar donde custodiar grandes cantidades de tesoros. En 1629, Felipe IV vende la fortaleza a D. Francisco del Corral y Guzmán. En 1902, D. Rafael Desmaissières y Farina, XII Conde de Torralva encarga la reconstrucción del castillo a su gran amigo y arquitecto D. Adolfo Fernández Casanova. Ésta finalizó en el año 1936, dando como resultado una de las joyas de Andalucía.
