The Alfredo Kraus Auditorium marks the La Cícer end of the beach with a silhouette in dialogue with the ocean. Designed by Óscar Tusquets and inaugurated on 5 December 1997, it took the name of the Gran Canaria tenor and became a cultural landmark. Its presence recalls that Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is not explained only through colonial heritage or beaches: the city also builds contemporary spaces for music and gathering. Observe the building from the promenade and its relationship with the sea before looking for an entrance. Viewing the exterior differs from attending a concert or guided visit, so check programmes and conditions. Arrive from Las Canteras or by bus, allowing for distance and return travel rather than adding it as a brief Vegueta detour.
