Alfredo Kraus Auditorium

The Alfredo Kraus Auditorium stands as a beacon of cultural and architectural brilliance in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Nestled at the edge of Las Canteras Beach, its unique location offers stunning vistas that are a dream for photo-travelers. Designed by Óscar Tusquets, the auditorium is named after the distinguished tenor Alfredo Kraus, and its shape is said to resemble a lighthouse, paying homage to the maritime spirit of the island. The building dramatically incorporates natural elements, with its external façade made of blue stone and glass, reflecting the Atlantic Ocean it overlooks. For photographers aiming to capture its grandeur, sunset or sunrise creates a magical backlighting, accentuating its silhouette against the sea and sky. Inside, its main concert hall is a masterpiece of acoustic design. Though primarily renowned for its musical events, the auditorium’s surroundings, with the beach, the "Plaza de la Música," and the majestic sculpture of Kraus, offer diverse photographic opportunities, from architectural grandeur to intimate human moments. The play of light throughout the day transforms the building, promising a plethora of shots, each telling a different story of this iconic edifice.
