PAULINO. History of a Salamancan Business with National Reach

For several generations of residents of Salamanca, Paulino is a name associated with the city's commerce. Synonymous with prestige, novelty, and luxury, its historical trajectory was linked to its location, the Plaza Mayor.

However, Paulino was also a company that expanded beyond Salamanca's borders to establish itself in the nation's capital, where its stores competed for decades with the most prestigious businesses in its sector.

Tomás Rivas Verdú, who worked at this establishment for over forty years, has written the history of the company founded by Paulino García Hernández in 1927, which had its first location on Quintana Street.
