After years of inactivity, the emblematic Tormes Casino has reopened its doors this Friday to once again fill the city with leisure. He … establishment, which was forced to close due to the pandemic, returns with a new location and a renewed proposal.
Specifically, the Casino del Tormes has moved to number 2 Franciscas Streeta few meters from the Plaza de España. In this new location, the building offers an extensive program of activities that will combine the entertainment proposals that were developed in the legendary establishment before its closure with an updated program.
“We want to bring something new to Salamanca: a dynamic proposal, designed specifically for the tastes of the people of Salamanca and adapted to all ages,” he explains. Juana Abellanedadirector of business development at Comar, the company in charge of promoting the project.
In this way, beyond its traditional options, the venue presents an agenda that includes gastronomy, culture and all types of activities. One of the pillars of the initiative is its culinary offer, articulated around two differentiated concepts. On the one hand, a more informal and flexible proposal, designed for a wide audience, under the name of Gourmet Casino. On the other hand, the space also houses the restaurant The Heaven of Salamancaa more careful option aimed at those looking for a complete gastronomic experience.
Thus, the complex will have culinary and leisure alternatives for all tastes, including cocktails, tastings, exhibitions, live music and much more. In addition, the premises have a room for private and professional meetings, with capacity for fifty people.
One of the most striking proposals is the organization of monthly thematic events. In them, the entire space—from the gastronomic offering to the music and decoration—will be set to immerse the visitor in classics of popular culture, which will range from The Great Gatsby to James Bond.
The establishment also opts for a distinctive approach to its interior design. Inspired by the sky of Salamanca, the space recreates an enveloping atmosphere through warm lighting and natural materials, configuring what its promoters define as a «symbolic roof» in the heart of the urban center. «The Casino is in Salamanca, but we want Salamanca to also be within the Casino. The interior is decorated with local materials and references to the city,” concludes Abellaneda.
