Located in the <em>Plaza del Padre Alvarado<\/em>, between the <em>Arco de la Rosa<\/em> and the <em>Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n<\/em>, it was a beloved spot known to everyone. However, the iconic brick kiosk was preserved and won\u2019t be demolished, as it\u2019s considered a part of Marchena\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antonio Jim\u00e9nez, known as \u201cEl Pololo,\u201d had an accident at 22 years old, resulting in the amputation of his right leg. Undeterred, he took over the management of the kiosk that same year and also got married. Initially, in 1955, he established a small brick kiosk where he sold drinks and sweets. Over time, this business grew and evolved into the <em>Bar Kiosco Pololo<\/em> in 1967, thanks to a municipal concession. The bar became known for its family-friendly atmosphere. Antonio\u2019s wife cooked at their home across from the kiosk, and their six children grew up closely tied to the family business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

spot for locals and tourists alike. Many celebrities visited <em>Pololo<\/em>, including Pepe Marchena, Enrique de Melchor, Jos\u00e9 Merc\u00e9, Camar\u00f3n de la Isla, Antonio Gala, and Paquirri. <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pepe_Marchena_(Ni%C3%B1o_de_Marchena)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pepe Marchena<\/a>, a renowned flamenco singer, lived directly across from the bar. Marchena\u2019s municipal auditorium is named after Pepe Marchena, and he even appeared in six films, including <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o3BfaOICSE8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La reina mora<\/a><\/em> (1955), the debut film of Concha Velasco, the iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L2SG1P86JCQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cchica ye-y\u00e9<\/a>\u201d who was just 15 at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enrique_de_Melchor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Enrique de Melchor<\/a>, a celebrated guitarist and close friend of Antonio Jim\u00e9nez, also had a special connection to the Kiosco Pololo. It\u2019s said that after his performances in Madrid, Enrique would return to Marchena with suitcases full of comics that were hard to find locally. He sold them to Antonio, who then offered them to the bar\u2019s customers, blending pop culture with the establishment\u2019s community spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Pololo\u2019s sons, Eugenio, has been lifelong friends with my father since their school days. Back then, their school was the <em>San Agust\u00edn<\/em> church, where priests were their teachers. I remember Eugenio once telling me about the day the dictator Franco died. A priest came to inform them that classes were canceled that day. They began cheering and causing a commotion, but the priest told them to quiet down, fearing he\u2019d get into trouble, as Franco had just died and nothing had yet changed in Spain. Franco was known for his brutal treatment of dissenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eugenio\u2019s wife, Rosario, has also been lifelong friends with my mother since childhood. Though they\u2019ve been living in Jerez de la Frontera (C\u00e1diz) for decades, they occasionally visit Marchena and own a countryside property with a pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

I remembered it when Denmark won the most recent <em><a href=\"https:\/\/fotofrangonz.com\/en\/tag\/miss-universe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Miss Universe 2024<\/a><\/em>, held in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My mom\u2019s younger sister, Aunt Nuria, when she was young, participated in a student exchange program with a Danish girl. My aunt went to live with her family in Denmark, while the girl came to live with my grandparents in Marchena. I was just a child then (my aunt is only 11 years older than me). Years later, the Danish girl became a Spanish teacher and brought her students on a trip to Spain. Naturally, they visited Marchena. My aunt called me to join them on the tour. When I arrived, they were at <em>El Roete<\/em>, where my aunt spent many years dancing and even performed <em>Sevillanas Marcheneras<\/em> on <em>Canal Sur<\/em> in 1991 (video below). She also danced flamenco in Japan (independently of <em>El Roete<\/em>).<br>We visited several landmarks, including the only time in my life I have visited the sacristy of <em>San Juan Church<\/em>, home to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.turismosevilla.org\/es\/que-ver-y-hacer\/patrimonio\/musei-e-altri-spazi-espositivi\/museo-de-zurbaran-orfebreria-y-bordados\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nine original paintings by the famous artist Francisco de Zurbar\u00e1n<\/a>. During lunch at <em>Casa Manolo<\/em>, one of the students told us she wanted to return on her own to practice Spanish. The following summer (I believe it was 2003), she came back to Marchena. Since she knew almost no one, she spent a lot of time with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?ssl=1\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-skip-lazy src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=508%2C381&amp;ssl=1 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt class=\"wp-image-11229 vp-lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDgwMCA2MDAiIGZpbGw9Im5vbmUiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+PC9zdmc+\" data-src=\"https:\/\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-0.jpeg?resize=508%2C381&amp;ssl=1 508w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?ssl=1\"><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-skip-lazy src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=508%2C381&amp;ssl=1 508w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt class=\"wp-image-11231 vp-lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgdmlld0JveD0iMCAwIDgwMCA2MDAiIGZpbGw9Im5vbmUiIHhtbG5zPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAwL3N2ZyI+PC9zdmc+\" data-src=\"https:\/\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fotofrangonz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/marchena-zurbaran-1.jpeg?resize=508%2C381&amp;ssl=1 508w\" data-sizes=\"auto\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sevillanas Marcheneras (1991)\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0jJ3ZijedKk?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/fotofrangonz.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
