This hall pays homage to one of the winery’s founders. Francisco Campos was born in Córdoba, but with a Málaga heart. As a child he worked in his birth city alongside his father at Bodegas Campos winery, place which his family had founded in 1908, and he transferred that same spirit to Málaga, founding El Pimpi in 1971.
The decor reflects the essence of what was his house, with it’s silver, the ceramics on the walls, as well as antique objects like a framed bedspread that reflects a tapestry that he had in his house of the Virgin of Fuensanta.
Former office of Mr. Paco Campos, one of the founders of El Pimpi. This room refers to the mayor who has worked most years for the city of Malaga.

If there is a Malagueño known in the world that is Antonio Banderas. Actor who has spread the brand Spain showing off being from Malaga, telling the world the virtues of his land both for its people, climate or gastronomy. A beloved person in El Pimpi and who has always collaborated with solidarity or cultural causes, his signature decorates El Pimpi since 1996. Antonio Banderas himself inaugurated the salon on Holy Wednesday 2016.
