Placa a Chiquito de la Calzada
The Placa a Chiquito de la Calzada sits at the Chinitas restaurant in Málaga. It honours Gregorio Sánchez, better known as Chiquito de la Calzada, who lived from 1932 to 2017. He left a lasting mark on Spanish humour.
Chiquito visited the Chinitas almost daily and thought of it as his second home. The restaurant worked as a cultural hub as well, a place where he connected with friends and kept the laughter going. Málaga's city council unveiled the plaque as part of its 'Málaga Hace Historia' initiative, which marks places linked to notable personalities. The mayor and cultural representatives attended the ceremony, stressing his role as an ambassador of Málaga's culture. Other tributes to him stand across the city, from sculptures to further commemorations.
His style came with expressions so distinct that they became part of everyday speech. That is what stays with you: a comedian whose way of talking outlived him, honoured where he felt at home.
