The kiosk at Parque Romano, next to the Alonso Quesada children's park, has reopened as Café Romano by D’Vainilla after the concession was awarded for five years.
The kiosk at Parque Romano in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has come back to life. From this week, the space located next to the Alonso Quesada children's park operates under the name Café Romano by D’Vainilla, after the City Council completed the process of awarding the administrative concession.
The establishment offers café services with products such as smoothies, sandwiches, toasts, small rolls, snacks, and handmade cookies. For now, it opens from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:30 to 20:30, although the company plans to extend the hours based on demand.
A five-year concession with an annual fee of 20,400 euros
The concession was promoted by the Heritage service of the Finance Department and was awarded last April for a period of five years. The annual fee amounts to 20,400 euros, according to the City Council.
The Finance Councillor, Francisco Hernández Spínola, highlighted that the reopening allows for the recovery of a municipal public space for citizen use and promotes economic activity and employment. The kiosk currently has three workers.
The responsible company has also made improvements to the premises, with new furniture and the renovation of the terrace and establishment to adapt it to the needs of users.
More than just a café: children's birthdays and new services
Among the upcoming goals of the new management is to expand the offerings and incorporate services related to the celebration of children's birthdays. The Alonso Quesada children's park, right next door, is a draw for families.
The reopening of the kiosk at Parque Romano is part of the municipal strategy to recover facilities intended for hospitality and leisure. During the current term, the City Council has promoted the operation of other similar spaces, such as the kiosks in the La Mayordomía, Santa Catalina, Doramas, Mirador del Atlante, Castillo de La Luz, Juan Alemán, the plaza del Pueblo, and two in the Hurtado Mendoza square (known as the one with the frogs).
For the residents of the capital, this kiosk is a classic meeting point. Now, with a renewed offer and fixed hours, Parque Romano recovers a service that many missed. Who knows, it might even become the trendy spot for mid-morning coffee.
The hours, for now, are in the morning and afternoon, with a midday closure. The company hopes to extend it soon, so stay tuned to their social media.
