Since the 26th February 2015, a life-size statue of Lorca presides the corner of the Alameda Café, now Chikito Restaurant; paying tribute to the figure of this poet from Grenada and his presence at the well-known literary gathering “El Rinconcillo”
CHIKITO RESTAURANT SINCE 1976
This establishment, full of tradition and history, housed between 1915 and 1929 this famous literary gathering, whose members included the most renowned intellectuals, politicians and artists of the time, such as Federico García Lorca, his brother Francisco, Manuel de Falla and a very young Andrés Segovia, among others; undoubtedly, a unique generation.
“THE ART OF MAKING FRIENDS”
The statue was a project of Luis Oruezábal (who was declared an adopted son of the city in 2015), that aimed to recall the spirit of the Alameda Café, located in which is now the emblematic restaurant, and to pay tribute to the literary gathering “El Rinconcillo”. Now, this Grenada’s essence is still alive in Chikito, as it is reflected on its motto “El arte de hacer amigos”
