Photos of the Auditorio de Tenerife
When I talk about anything to do with Tenerife's Auditorio with my mother, I have to say, "You know, the one that looks like an iron." A steam iron, that is, standing up on its haunches, because that is what it looked like to her. (On her behalf, I would like to convey sincere apologies to Sr. Calatrava.)
While the building was under construction, mind you, I think many people wondered what the heck (to use a polite term) was going up there.
Now, in it's full glory, it is almost difficult to remember what Santa Cruz ever did without this emblematic, eye catching, awe inspiring, majestic - do you get the impression that I love it - symbol that has come to represent the city.
And, in this set of photos and some further ones tagged with auditorio, you can begin to see for yourself just what causes such emotions.
