    Un gran descubrimiento (para bien) en pleno corazón de la mancha. Unas obras muy interesantes, tanto las esculturas como los cuadros, que reflejan el trabajo de muchos años de Vicente, el artista. Por 3€ que cuesta la entrada, es una visita muy muy recomendable.

    A different place, outdoors, where we can contemplate beautiful works of art by a different artist, with influences from Gaudí, Picasso and other contemporaries. You can breathe culture in these two plots in the middle of the countryside and nature. Sculptures made of cement, iron and other recycled materials that can serve as a good example for a second life. It also has an even more surprising painting gallery, with beautiful self-portraits and bright, cheerful colors. It will not be the best-known place in Consuegra, but it is undoubtedly worth visiting, and paying the €3 entrance fee to preserve the works and encourage the artist to create new ones.

    You can easily park in the property's designated parking lot. The entrance costs 3 euros but when you see the artist's work it will be cheap. The first impression and more than pleasant surprise is having the artist at your disposal first-hand in the artistic venue but in a pleasant way and letting you enjoy the work alone. The first phase is the sculptural one with a garden of a beauty that cannot be calculated with words. The mastery with which the sculptures are made with a unique style cannot be easily cataloged, although if you allow me and with the approval of the artist present, it reminded me of the style of American and French comics, which for those of you who are not very familiar with comics. It was an elegant as well as sophisticated style. You will find busts of greats, artists, thinkers, writers and of both sexes. The second phase to which the artist invites us is that of another adjacent garden where he mixes animal, fantasy and beauty sculpture with busts of famous people and of high artistic quality of our days. It is worth highlighting the sculpture on the floor lying down of a woman who really impressed me with her elegance and sweetness. You will find the third phase in an exhibition of the artist's very personal painting where he takes a self-portrait with exquisite taste. Two works look more beautiful than the others, which are the largest paintings where cheaters are portrayed with their personal style brought to painting. The other at the back of the gallery where you can see the author working. We were lucky and honored that the artist showed us his workplace and we felt very honored to have that taste that few artists have at our disposal. The artist personally, and as a person, is what for me would be considered a full-fledged artist: emotional, not at all arrogant, proud and crestfallen at the same time of a work and above all human. An essential visit not only in the town where it is located but also nationwide.

    We were there yesterday, Sunday, and although we couldn't see Vicente Manzano, his sister showed us the place in great detail. Vicente is a genius of which few are left in the world. Self-taught, detail-oriented, full of passion. This place is its soul, and its presence is felt in every corner. It is worth a visit without a doubt, it is a magical and unique space.

    Es un lugar bastante mágico que sin duda hay que visitar si estás por Consuegra. Nos sumergimos tanto en las obras que mi pareja y yo quedamos los últimos y tuvimos la suerte de poder hablar con el autor de tan maravillosas obras. Vicente es un hombre genial que nos fue explicando cada una de sus obras y, personalmente, me ha inspirado a seguir con mis dibujos! Sin duda volveré para admirar las nuevas obras que vaya añadiendo. En definitiva, recomiendo mucho visitar el increíble museo al aire libre.

    Un lugar lleno de encanto y de arte, escondido en un lugar de la mancha, pero de visita obligada. Vicente y su hermana, nos hicieron que la visita fuera todavía mucho más agradable. Además, pudimos ir acompañados de nuestra perrita Mia, cosa que significa mucho para nosotros. Esperamos volver y ver más obras de arte de tus manos, Vicente. ❤️ Gracias

    Very quiet and very curious place to go see, there is a man who is a sculptor, painter and I don't know how many other things they charge you three euros for the entrance, but honestly it is super good, it is a very curious place and the man explains everything to you

    This was a lovely place with a wide range of sculptures and paintings. Definitely worth a visit. A number of the mixed media, metal and plaster constructs were really good, with a sense of fragility and pathos to them. The Eagle was my favourite! Vincente was a cool dude too.

    A few days ago I was with my mother and the visit could not have been more pleasant. First, Vicente is a charming person and a true painting and sculpture enthusiast. And a lover of his art. It was a pleasure to talk to him as he guided us through the exhibition of paintings he has. It is evident that he likes to share what he does with the world. Second, the exhibition is overwhelming. The work of an artist at heart. The amount of sculpture and painting work there is, the luxury of details, the great diversity of works and the dedication that permeates the atmosphere are impressive. From Hypatia of Alexandria ruling over a collection of busts of illustrious figures, to a large dragon head of exquisite care. For anyone minimally interested it is a must see.

    We loved it🤩, it is a magical place near the mills, it has parking, we arrived a little before closing and we were lucky enough to be able to speak with Don Vicente, the author of all the works that are there, he was very kind to explain a little to us about his works and the years it took him to make it, without a doubt a place to enjoy if you are in Consuegra.

    Encontramos el lugar de casualidad y lo mejor que podíamos ver en Consuegra junto con los Molinos. Señor muy agradable y un gran artista. Se puede ver el avance artístico ya que pasa por varios estilos. Merece muchísimo la pena invertir tiempo en este espacio

    Un lugar especial y con mucha magia, el dueño, que es el escultor nos ha atendido de forma increíble, nos ha explicado parte de la historia de sus obras y mostrado su taller y galería. Muchas gracias por todo, da gusto conocer gente así, que aporta a la sociedad . 100% recomendable ir… nosotros íbamos jugando al quien es quien con las esculturas. Cobra 3€ de modo simbólico y lo debe de invertir en los materiales para continuar ampliando obras.

    Incredible what Vicente has done for years, we were very lucky to meet him and he will show us his work, he has an extraordinary imagination for his work and composes with wonderful textures to create his sculptures, busts, construction, etc. that will not leave you indifferent, recommended for all audiences for a modest price of €6 outdoors in two sections, and then their paintings, which are excellent. I will return Vicente.
