Whilst on your holidays to Santa Cruz de Tenerife, pay a visit to The Auditorio de Tenerife - a striking piece of architecture. Architect, Santiago Calatrava, created this stunning building. Its semi-domed shape and soaring curves makes for perfect acoustics for performances inside. The Auditorio draws top names, dance and music events and is home to the Orquestra Sinfonica de Tenerife. Book ahead to take a guided tour of the Auditorio, which will include hidden corners rarely seen by the public.
The Auditorio de Tenerife has seen an increase in the number of visitors for the first 7 months of 2010 with a total of 122,793 spectactors attending the 135 functions organised in the centre [an increase of nearly 14% over 2009]. The most popular functions have been the Sala Sinfonica with an average of being 75% full and the Sala de Camera nearly 60% full.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is the capital of the island of Tenerife located on the southeast facing coast of Tenerife's north spur, 38 miles from Reina Sofia airport [Tenerife South] and 4 miles from Tenerife North airport. Although Santa Cruz is located in the wetter part of Tenerife, its coastal position means that it misses much of the cloud and rain that is found at some of the higher levels. Therfore, any time of year is suitable for a visit to the capital. However, it does get extremely hot in summer which some people might find oppressive, but you will find plenty of shady corners and indoor cafes to escape the midday heat.
