antesala del saladero 16
Corner of talk shows and discussions of poets, journalists, and Bohemian writers, located at the Café Imperial in the Puerta del Sol between the beginning of the street of Alcalá and the Carrera San Jerónimo. Here came the brawl that Valle Inclán lost his arm some years after the Imperial changed its name for the mountain coffee in 1896. The salting was then Madrid prison, located in the plaza of Santa Barbara in what had been a salting of bacons.
