Pío Baroja
A carefully curated selection of the most beautiful articles and essays by a surprising Baroja transformed into a tireless flâneur wandering through Paris, London, or old Madrid.

Pío Baroja was our great observer and walker of the underworld and the dark, gloomy streets, the suburbs and their inhabitants, what happened after nightfall beyond the limits of the bourgeois, regulated, and luminous city. Fascinated by the unusual, he portrayed a disappearing world. His interest was the singular and extraordinary, from cozy taverns to shops of impossible objects, beings that were already extinct at the time and whose stories he wanted to capture. Driven by wandering, he ventured into the hidden city. You must hurry. What remains is the landscape, the physical proof of what once was. Also the oral narrative, which he continually turns to thanks to his "informants": elderly booksellers, old Carlists, street kids, randas, or vagrants.
