Museo Ernest Hemingway

Frommer's Review

I have mixed feelings as to the experience of visiting this place, since visitors are not allowed into the former home of the famous writer. Sure you get a bit of the feel for Hemingway, but you also end up feeling like a Peeping Tom. Circling the ground floor you can see the house more or less as it was when Hemingway was living and writing here. There's a copious collection of books, paintings, and stuffed animal heads. In addition to an old typewriter, artworks by Picasso, Miró, and Klee are some of the more prized possessions. There's a small tower separate from the main house that has a gift shop and some rooms with rudimentary exhibits, and you can even climb it for a better view all around. In the surrounding gardens, you can see Papa's pet cemetery and the author's dry-docked fishing boat, Pilar.
