Honor Gallery
Over the dau there are 5 huge pics featuring the players who have earned a reputation as idols in this trinquet (and, by extension, in the whole game) over the decades. Taking into account that the Pelayo trinquet has been open for more than 100 years and there have been hundreds of players, its reduced number speaks of the strict criteria and the consensus gathered around those selected players.
Left to right, they are:
- José Vicente Riera Calatayud, El Nel de Murla
- Alberto Arnal, Quart
- Julio Palau Lozano, Juliet d'Alginet
- Antonio Reig, Rovellet
- Paco Cabanes Pastor, Genovés I

Famous quotes containing the words honor and/or gallery:
“Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong land’s swift increase;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverend awe;”
—Henry Holcomb Bennett (1863–1924)
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
