Our story

Over a century of family history: the union of Castilian hospitality and contemporary comfort.

Late 19th century

A small tavern

Micaela Casas and Dionisio Duque opened a small tavern beside the Aqueduct that would become a benchmark of Castilian cuisine: the Mesón de Cándido.

“El Segoviano”

Cándido López introduced the tradition of carving suckling pig with a plate and was named Mesonero Mayor de Castilla in 1953 — a legacy still alive in every space of the group, including the hotel.

Hotel Cándido

Opened in 2006, the hotel carries on the family legacy, today with the fifth generation leading Grupo Familia Cándido, which has made hospitality and gastronomy a hallmark of excellence.
