The once-powerful construction and tourism giant in the Canary Islands, Hermanos Santana Cazorla SL, has formalized the definitive collapse of its governance structure. The latest official records confirm a complete purge of its board of directors, a technical procedure that certifies the company's dissolution. The mass departure of directors, including key entities such as MSC Inversión Internacional, Oliva Inversión Internacional, Bodegas Tirajana, and Santana Cazorla Servicios, marks the end of a family-run power structure that ultimately ended up in court.
The administration of the assets has now been transferred to the firm C & O Consultores y Auditores SL, with Jorge Zambrana Ledesma appointed as the representative to carry out the liquidation. This transition is a direct consequence of the order issued by Judge Alberto López Villarrubia of the Las Palmas Court of First Instance, who on May 31, 2024, decreed the opening of the liquidation phase and the formation of the qualification section. This latter step is critical to determining whether the group's insolvency was accidental or culpable.
The process, which has been ongoing under insolvency proceedings 98/2020, has evolved from a compulsory insolvency with intervention of the founders' powers to a complete suspension of any power of disposition. The finality of the court rulings, formally registered this April 2026, puts an end to years of legal resistance. The dissolution of the company is mandated by the court, triggering the distribution of the remaining assets of a company that for decades dominated urban development in southern Gran Canaria.
With Bodegas Tirajana's departure from the presidency and the revocation of all positions of secretary and joint managing directors, the company loses its legal personality and becomes a pool of assets earmarked for paying creditors. The end of Hermanos Santana Cazorla symbolizes the closing of an era in the business world of southern Gran Canaria, leaving behind a legacy of internal disputes that paralyzed one of the archipelago's largest fortunes.
