Description
In 1914, at the Regadas farm, in the Candal area, a small electric porcelain industrial unit emerged and became a national reference when it comes to industrialization and electricity: the Candal Electro Ceramics Company, producer of low tension electric equipment, high voltage insulators and, also, daily use domestic tableware. In 2014, in a new life cycle, it changed to another line of work – space rental to small companies and creative industries, currently Candal Park, a centre for companies and businesses. The visit focuses on the building of the old company canteen, today shaped into two office floors, where we can point out the original concrete roof and the pliability of the new central space, dedicated to meetings and informal conversations.
