Auditorio de Tenerife Adán Martín Concerts 2024

A true monument, a great building. There is also a cafe inside. you can also sit outside. You can explore the surrounding area in a short time. There is a great leisure pool and a palm garden nearby

It was close when I got there, yet the building is still amazing. Very nice view. I really loved the touch with famous singers/composers drawn on the stones, right next to the see

Went there 3 times in a week. Each concert was fantastic. Great atmosphere. You could have drinks and food which looked good however I had already had food at my hotel. Drinks were €3 per glass which is a great price. I recommend buying tickets in advance but there was space for you to turn up and buy then and there unfortunately as the performances were fantastic.

The Auditorium is a building with two concert halls located in the southern part of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The building was designed by the famous Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and its shape is supposed to resemble the human eye, including the eyebrows. Construction began in 1997 and it was opened in 2003. Free parking is available nearby in the large car park. The building has a café with refreshments in the entrance, and it is also possible to have a bite to eat. Toilets are freely accessible from the main lobby and are free of charge. There is also a box office for purchasing tickets for the performance. Guided tours of the building in English or Spanish can also be purchased. The tour lasts about 40 minutes and the price is 5 euros per person. The tour is to the two concert halls, corridors and terraces, which are normally inaccessible to the public.

Auditorio de Tenerife is an impressive building gracing the otherwise not a very beautiful architecturally city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. It is designed by the same architect who built a similar complex in Valencia - Santiago Calatrava. Hence many similarities, from being very impressive visually but not very practical inside. Obviously the edifice is stunning, with the glorious position on the sea shore. However there is no elevator from the parking underneath to the entrance floor. There are great distances to walk which is somewhat inconvenient for the rushed atmosphere of the concert hall. Bathroom is only one, so then huge lines. Why in a modern building? The design clearly has preference for the looks. Inside the acoustics is good. But again further rows are too far from the stage, with the traditional circular design of a theater being abandoned for the movie theater concept which is not appropriate for the classical music. Parking in the underneath garage is plentiful and inexpensive. The buffet is adequate. The concert programme in 2024 is great but that is not really a building's feat. Overall definitely a place to see and certainly to attend a concert. The atmosphere is very civil, the public is nice and respectful of music.
