Current State & Restoration Direction
Casino Mayor is more than a building. It is a story now documented in its current state, with the first essential steps identified and its future community life beginning to take shape.
This building has stood for generations. Its current state is where the next chapter begins.
The roof has been identified as the first essential phase. From there, the theatre, salon, and upper rooms can be recovered with care. The restoration journal shares current photographs, milestone notes, and the direction of the work ahead.
Videos documenting the current state and future restoration journey are coming soon on YouTube @CasinoMayor.

Illustrative Opening Programme
Experiences
From the Theatre stage to mountain routes beyond the village, from social dance nights to private stays, Casino Mayor brings together culture, rhythm, and hospitality under one roof.
Dance Academy Nights
Salsa, Bachata, and Kizomba evenings across multiple rooms, with beginners, intermediate, and advanced tracks led by guest artists and local instructors.
Live Stage
Dance classes led by renowned artists, weekly concerts, Latin nights, and DJ sets — each rooted in the Theatre stage, each evening its own format.
Social Dance Night
An open evening to practice your Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, and Tango skills in a relaxed social setting, with space for partner work, rounds, and informal coaching.
Mountain Escapes
Build a stay around the Sierra: hiking routes and bouldering by day, the village in the evening, and a return to wine, tapas, or cultural programming inside Casino Mayor.
Group Stays & Apartments
Stay in the building's apartments or shape a group stay around dance, dining, and the Sierra — a stronger hospitality offer for weekends, retreats, and private gatherings.
Upstairs Cocktail Room
A calmer first-floor room with its own cocktail bar, suited to late conversations, private bookings, and evenings that prefer atmosphere over noise.
Private Events
Flexible spaces for corporate evenings and celebrations, with integrated catering, technical setup, and host support.
Dress code and booking windows vary by event. Reservations are recommended for stage evenings, Latin nights, and peak weekends. Special seasonal programmes run around La Candelaria (2 Feb), Santa Ana (26 Jul), La Boda Típica (August), and Semana Santa.
Candelario Heritage
Casino Mayor is rooted in its place. The building carries the stone architecture, mountain character, and cultural memory of Candelario — and that is exactly what this restoration is for.
