It is one of the most historically interesting houses of Benimaclet, because prominent personalities have passed through it, as the current owner Pepa Nicolau remembers in her own words:<br \/>\n\u201cBlasco Iba\u00f1ez, Sorolla and Benlliure used to meet here, they were very good friends. Blasco loved Benimaclet and its strawberry fields, that\u2019s why there is a street named \u201cLas Fresas\u201d (the strawberries). He had a friend from Benimaclet called Jovani. Blasco was the godfather of Jovani\u2019s son, who was named Sigfrido, like Blasco\u2019s son.\u201d<br \/>\nLater, the music band known as \u201cLa Mano Negra\u201d (The Black Hand) met in this house. (See <a title=\"Centro Instructivo Musical (CIM)\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/centro-instructivo-musical-cim\/\">CIM<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>In the late sixties and until the early 1980\u2019s this was the site of the well-known Comercial coffee shop. Mr. Pepe and his son ran it. As a drinking and meeting place, it was very well known in the city of Valencia. Many students used to gather there, since the universities were quite close to Benimaclet. There was a big stage for theatrical performances. Some of them were put on by independent theatre companies like the Experimental Theatre Group of Rodolfo Sirera. People could also watch the football matches broadcast on television every Sunday. The coffee shop provided the classic board and card games, as well, and a French billiard table where sometimes championships were organized.<br \/>\nIn the mid-eighties, this house was turned into the Alfabega Restaurant with a cooperative management. It hosted cultural events quite often (exhibitions, musical and theatre performances, etc.) and also tried to stimulate debates and discussions.<br \/>\nIn the 1990\u2019s, the famous painter Pepa Nicolau, daughter of Benimaclet, bought this house, and she is still living in it.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen I realized that this house was on sale and that they might demolish it at any moment (the plan to protect the architectural historic core of Benimaclet had not yet been approved at the time), I bought it to preserve the architectural heritage and the history of this house. I can feel the presence of these persons. They are here with me and I hear their voices.\u201d<br \/>\nThanks to the sensibility of painter Pepa Nicolau, Benimaclet preserves this historic house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-0688d0b0b6ed2f8b057db7a8270206df hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_comments_list '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div  class='av-buildercomment av-av_comments_list-56c66b2695468e12d3120bc7169a9873  av-blog-meta-html-info-disabled'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[119,115],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1532"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1532"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2551,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1532\/revisions\/2551"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
