the story
of EL PIMPI
Since it opened its doors in 1971, people from all
walks of life have passed through El Pimpi. Situated
on Calle Granada, in the city’s historic centre, the
building was once the stables of the ‘Palacio de
Buenavista’.
VERMOUTH MAKES
A COMEBACK
Aperitif ‘par excellence’, vermouth is a modern version of the fortified wines
of old. Here is our special range of vermouths – enjoy them before lunch or
after dinner.
(Bianco, Rosso, Rosato,
*Martini
Extra Dry)......3.50€
Paco Campos & Pepe Cobos,
founders of El Pimpi
Afterwards the building became a convent and
then a dance hall operating under different names. El
Pimpi’s reputation grew out of its role as a meeting
place for different artists and intellectuals from
Malaga’s cultural scene. Its walls have witnessed all
types of lively debates and soirées and its hallways
have been visited by the most famous personalities of
the day on their trips to the city. Many of them have
signed the wine barrels in the main hall on their way
through, the moment captured forever in the framed
photos that have spread across the walls of the narrow
passage by the bar and which thousands of visitors
pass by every year.
Antonio Gala, Miquel Barceló, Picasso’s family,
El Cordobés and Antonio Banderas are just some of
the many well-known faces that have been recorded
for posterity while visiting the bodega. A place that
famous journalist Manuel Alcántara called “Malaga’s
Sistine Chapel”.
The different rooms are named in honour of
those greats who have shown the most affection for
the bodega, such as The Picasso Loft, The Carmen
Thyssen Room, The Antonio Gala Tertulia Room
and The Patio of Gloria Fuertes.
And where does the name ‘El Pimpi’ come
from? Many years ago, down at Malaga’s
docks, young men used to earn a living as
guides & runners for the ships’ crews and
passengers, and these were known as
the ‘pimpis’.

THE HISTORY OF MALAGA
The City of Malaga has almost 3000 years of history
behind it.
The birth of ‘Malaca’ in the 9th century BC was thanks
to the Phoenicians, who set up the first fish-processing factories
here. They were followed by the Greeks, Romans, Visigoths
& Byzantines before the city came under Muslim rule in 721
AD. Arabs, Berbers & Jews lived in Malaga and the Alcazaba
citadel was built. After the fall of the Nazari Kingdom, the city
converted to Christianity in 1487 under the joint monarchs,
Isabel & Ferdinand. Over the next few centuries the city grew,
the economy expanded & Malaga’s port became the second
busiest in Spain after Barcelona. Iron smelting & textiles were
big business in the second half of the 19th Century, along
with the wine & sugar trades that spread the city’s fame
internationally. The 20th Century brought with it many changes
& the city adapted to a new reality. Malaga looks ahead to
the 21st Century full of optimism, with many newly-completed
infrastructure projects and a fresh focus on culture & tourism.
