The Café Chinitas was a small theater or singing café that began its activity in the middle of the XIX century, in the Spanish city of Malaga, between 1857 and its definitive closing in 1937, by the municipal authorities of Malaga in the middle of the civil war.

The venue was opened to the Malaga public as a show theater called Salón Royal until it was changed; in the posters advertising its shows, it was advertised as "SALÓN-TEATRO CHINITAS". The name came from a dramatic actor named Chinitas.

Its celebrity came from its famous flamenco shows, and the attendance of personalities that made culture beat in the 20's and 30's of the 20th century, such as Federico García Lorca, La Argentinita, Salvador Dalí, Vicente Aleixandre, Picasso and Manuel Blasco Alarcón. In the Salón-Teatro Chinitas performed great names of flamenco art, zarzuela, theater, singers, dancers, actors, magicians and artists of all kinds such as Juan Breva, Antonio Chacón, La Macarena, La Juana, La Trini, El Porrilla, the Navarro Sisters, Estrellita Castro, Lucrecia Torralba, among many others.

Our mission is to return that point of reference to the city of Malaga, to make it a meeting place again
