The building known as the Casino and Circulo de Artistas (Artists Society) is located on the north side of Ronda's Plaza del Socorro. This is a charming corner of the town where tourists enjoy their lunch, unaware that they are in the company of one of Andalucia's most famous historical venues.
In 1918, Blas Infante, known as the Father of Andalucia, held the first Andalusian Assembly in this buiding. The bright new regional flag was unveiled at this event as well, making it all the more significant. If you enter the patio on the ground floor (just ask the janitor) you'll see on the wall a plaque dedicated to that first, historic assembly.
Today the Casino building is used for cultural events and it also houses one of Ronda's four library collections. Regular evening Flamenco shows are also held in the patio.
