Wamba Senado
Period
1955-1970
About this matchbox
The Wamba Senado restaurant surely gets its name from Wamba, the Visigoth king of Hispania (672-680 A.D.). Although I haven't found any restaurant with that literal name, I have found a related restaurant called Senado. Thanks to another matchbox where the same address and the words Wamba and Senado appear, I deduce that it is the same space.
This space must have been quite large, it was located in an old palace house from the 19th century. I have found some postcards with several salons. I leave you below photos of these postcards. After this venue, the Café de Chinitas opened in 1970, so I dare say that the box must be from before that date.
