Why go
This compact route gives art lovers two different museum visits in the same neighborhood before opening out to the river. Begin with the Fine Arts Museum and the Julio Romero de Torres Museum, leaving enough time to look closely rather than hurrying through both. Plaza del Potro makes a natural pause between the galleries and Posada del Potro. From there, walk along Paseo de la Ribera toward Molino de Martos, which can be a shorter exterior finish if your museum visits run long. The mill is optional; the two museums, square, posada and riverside walk form a satisfying day. Check current opening details for the indoor stops.
