Auditorio Alfredo Kraus

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria


Designed by Catalan architect Óscar Tusquets, this spectacular auditorium is striking in its geometric modernity. Constructed partly of volcanic rock, with a huge window and panoramic ocean views, it's the dominant feature of the southern end of Playa de las Canteras. Most performances are of classical music, though this is one of the venues for the annual summer Canary Islands International Jazz Festival.

Guided tours (€5; 30 minutes) are held from Monday to Friday at 10.15am, 11.15am and 12.15pm.
