Fantastic experience: A collection of motorcycles, cars, and all kinds of compilations made by the museum owner, there are not only motorcycles, there is a giant handmade train model with all sorts of mobiles, lights, fantastic. The guy who conducts the tour is very friendly and knows the material on display very well, it's definitely a place to have a nice time. We will return with family and friends. A place to discover in l'Escala.

Fantastic experience: A no-frills space and thus wonderful, where you can feel the love of the people who were and are behind this find. It accumulates dust over the magnificent works of engineering that have been the object of our passion since childhood. A Mustang! Look at this turntable! Or even a Smousen I saw there, it's a 70s model airplane that I flew. Incredible. Don't miss it. You will feel what the workshop was like and the objects of a person that you seem to have come to know.

Positive experience: Very beautiful museum (with a friendly guide to welcome you who speaks Catalan, Spanish, and French) located in the town of ESCALA. This museum will allow you to discover unique models of vintage cars and motorcycles. But also miniatures (cars, motorcycles, with a very large and magnificent train circuit) and many other things like a collection of vintage typewriters. A museum to absolutely discover.

Fantastic experience: The most spectacular thing I have seen in a long time at our place. Motorcycles, cars, train models, toys, bikes, scooters, devices of all types from various eras, collectibles, from the last century. Sanglas, Harley-Davidson, Montesa, classic vespa, all the brands you can imagine and more. Mustang, BMW, Citroën from the 50s, motorcycles and cars from World War II... I didn't know we had this treasure so close. The guide was amazing, with knowledge of engines, manufacturing dates, collection, and history of each piece that surprised me. You spend some time forgetting the present that surrounds us and learning a little about all this and the world of engines in particular. A 10 out of 10. Thank you (Reissue March 2022)

Fantastic experience: Superb museum that you don't expect to find in a seaside town. There are a large number of motorcycles, in impeccable condition. The young man at the entrance gives you plenty of explanations about the brands and models on display. A museum that has nothing to envy from some major cities. Don't miss it if you like motorcycles and are passing through the region. Also, there are a few cars, a miniature railway, and lots of old objects, enough to spend 1 hour, 1 hour and thirty minutes for only 3 euros.

Martine Mourcia 29/07/2022

Fantastic experience: It is a museum of eclectic collections, where natives of the 60s will find, among other things, everyday objects from their childhood. For enthusiasts of vintage mechanics - motorcycles and cars - it is the unexpected discovery of small wonders dating from the early 20th century. It is also getting to know, through an incalculable number of trophies, medals, and Olympic certificates, a man, now deceased and unknown to me, with multiple passions. I tried to find out a bit more, but I couldn't find a biography about him; only a few lines from a Catalan newspaper published following his death in 2008. What a shame! I would have liked to 'meet' this character who seems out of the ordinary...
