Habaneras Museum 'Ricardo Lafuente'

Situated in the Plaza de la Estación, in the first building. Opening hours: Monday to Friday, mornings 10.15 to 13.15 hrs, evenings 16.30 to 19.30 hrs.

We can see many objects related to Torrevieja's most prolific writer of Habaneras song, Ricardo Lafuente Aguado, who also often goes there. Recordings, photographs, paintings and general persorial souvenirs of Lafuente and the group he leads, the 'Salinas de Torrevieja' Choir and Orchestra, can be seen in this small but packed museum that has the Torrevieja Habanera as the common denominator. Ricardo Lafuente is a world authority on the Torrevieja Habaneras.

Hundreds of compositions testify to his art and this museum is a tribute to his work and his person. His habanera "Torrevieja" has been sung all over the world in many versions. He is also the author of the Torrevieja anthem.
