Cardenio Theatre
The Cine-Theatro Cardenio was built in 1950 not only as a cinema and for various theatrical events, but also as a cultural centre.
Some time ago, it ceased being used as a cinema on becoming unprofitable and is used these days as a theatre or as the venue for the main acts of the various city festivities, such as the carnival competitions of the musical groups (comparsas, chirigotas and cuartetos), the election of the Carnival Queen, concerts, plays, etc.
In February 2001, it was restored and the stage, ceiling, stalls, audio and lights etc., refurbished and improved. The name no longer reflects its past as a cinema. Nevertheless, it is now, happily, enjoying a increasing resurgence of local events. |
