Here is what interesting events await residents and visitors of Torrevieja, as well as nearby towns in the province of Alicante, at the end of this week.<\/p>\n
Until May 18, the Maritime Museum of Santa Pola is hosting an exhibition of works by Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Takashi Murakami, Marc Chagall and other great Spanish and international artists from the Vicente Aguilera Museum of Contemporary Art in Vilafam\u00e9s (MACVAC) and from the collection of Mariano Poyatos and Filomena De Lorenzo (Espai Nivi gallery). Many of the works on display are previously unpublished paintings and recent additions to the MACVAC holdings and the Espai Nivi collection, making the project a unique opportunity to discover them. The two collections, built around four themes \u2013 \u201cBody\u201d, \u201cRituals\u201d, \u201cLandscapes of the Soul\u201d and \u201cTranscendence\u201d \u2013 invite visitors to follow a path leading from the most physical and biographical experience to the realms of abstraction and sign. As the exhibition curators note, \u201cit does not offer a closed discourse, but rather represents a process of searching, a journey inward, in which each work becomes a threshold, and each room a dwelling where visitors exist at their own rhythm\u201d.<\/p>\n
Every day from the port of Torrevieja, Santa Pola or Alicante, you can take a boat to Tabarca Island \u2013 the largest and only inhabited island in the Valencian Community.
