Aloha Amigos! Les escribo desde Madrid. I have been documenting tiki in Spain for years and this is where I'm going to show some of my finds.
This one is really big and rare, Pre-pavon, 2 side pockets.
I have 1 extra to trade/sell.

Good to hear from you, Zeta. I am Sven Kirsten, author that book there in your photo. As one of my future book projects I plan to write a book on European Tiki, with an emphasis on Spanish Tiki culture of course. I have visited most of the remaining Spanish Tiki temples, but have not been to Portugal. I am planning a photo Safari to Europe in order to document the remaining places before they disappear.
I am very happy to meet a local Tiki aficionado who can hopefully contribute and help in the research of this amazing facet of Polynesian pop. I own about 20 Porcelanas Pavon mugs, because I previously imported them to the US, but I own very few vintage pieces. I have a couple of vintage menus from the Bora Bora, and am willing to trade one (and something else from the US?) for your extra bowl.

Well and I'm off to a part of spain tomorrow to look at the site.

Has anyone heard from Zeta again? Hope I didn't scare him/her away! Did anyone make that mug trade? I don't really care, I was just glad to meet someone local that is into Tiki. Hope he'll resurface.
Here is my favorite pre-Pavon mug:

Aloha amigos!
This 100% original spanish Mug is so rare and old that right now I don't even remember where I got it from.
I am sure it has nothing to do with Porcelanas Pavon.
Let's call it "The Abe Lincoln mug" for now...
Hasta luego !

Hi Harro
There is a Trader Vic's in Marbella, and also a TV Mai Tai bar in Estepona, both very near Malaga. Enjoy!
Hum, Cheekytiki, I'm very curious about that new place... can you add a bit more info? what city? Arrr!!!
Zeta, esos mugs son más antiguos que la injusticia! Un abrazo!

Ha, that is funny! I was actually thinking about that title as the name for my Spanish Tiki Culture book! Great minds think alike!

Hello everyone,
this bar is in the center of Lisboa, Portugal. Well at least it was there last year. Unfortunately I was only standing in front of closed doors, as it had quite odd opening hours.
Sven, I am amazed to read you are planning a Tiki Europe Book - Aloha Amigos! Any research and photo journeys scheduled yet?
This year I am planning to go to Barcelona on holidays. Are there any exciting tiki opportunities I shouldn´t miss apart from the ones already listed on tikieurope.com?

I don't think so, but it would be really nice to get an update on these places, we here in America always have to fear that the next time one visits a Tiki Bar it has disappeared.

I will definitely go and visit the places in Barcelona once I´m there, and will inform you about their current existence.
Can´t think too much about (many American)Tiki places being destroyed. The ones in your first book mentioned, which disappeared, nearly made me cry. Wishing for some kind of "historic houses trust" or maybe "historic tiki buildings trust" to be set up, which might preserve them and keep beauty and history alive for us and coming generations to enjoy.
