Spain: retro halls and bars
Spain's arcade heritage lives on past the « salones recreativos » in a serious museum scene. The country's flagship video-game museum, in the toy-making town of Ibi, gathers over 300 fully playable machines, including a dedicated pinball zone of restored tables from the 1970s to the 1990s, all free to play once inside. It is a culture of preservation as much as nostalgia, run by a collectors' association that restores every cabinet by hand.
Yesterday's «salones recreativos» and today's retro bars: Spain keeps a real arcade-and-pinball culture alive.
The «salones recreativos» marked generations of Spaniards before being reborn as trendy retro bars.
