-CONCERT VENUES-
As far as music venues go, the jaw-dropping Auditorio de Tenerife, one of the islands most emblematic buildings, is the venue par excellence. Designed by famous architect Santiago Calatrava (he of Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences, Athens' Olympic Stadium and Barcelona's tele-communications tower), the brilliantly white, ultra-modern structure is perched upon Santa Cruz's coast and looks - quite appropriately - like a cresting wave. Not only is the Auditorio de Tenerife home to the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra, one of the best orchestras in Spain, but it also hosts a wide range of concerts, operas and other cultural activities.
