Pasaje Chinitas

This guide to Pasaje Chinitas in Málaga follows the Café de Chinitas, a small, rough-edged theater that ran here from 1857 to 1937, where knife fights broke out as often as flamenco duels. It traces the singers who performed on that stage, among them Juan Breva and Antonio Chacón, and the visits said to have been paid by Picasso and Dalí. It also follows Federico García Lorca's 1931 ballad naming a real bullfighter, Paquiro, and the murder it describes happening inside these walls.
