The Climb
The work began in Madrid, Spain, where from 2013 David Alfonso served as co-founder and partner at TriCiclo. In trade terms, that it marks the point where a restaurant’s early identity is still being set. The title is specific: co-founder and partner. It signals participation in the practical decisions that give a room its first shape, its working rhythm, and its public tone. TriCiclo is the anchor in this profile because it is where Alfonso’s name becomes legible as part of a restaurant’s formation. The early identity of the place was shaped through the usual unglamorous mechanisms of restaurant building: consistency, coordination, and the repeated choices that turn an idea into a working operation. In Madrid, Alfonso occupied a role that required both entrepreneurial energy and structure, the kind of position where the front-of-house idea and the back-of-house reality have to meet every day. As co-founder and partner, Alfonso was part of the foundation and part of the decisions that determined how TriCiclo would begin speaking for itself. The date, 2013, matters here because it marks the start of that work. The emphasis is on the role and the restaurant, not on embellishment.
