Nuestras playas y parques

The website by the name of recreation areas, offers some samples of these elements. These range from parks and public parks to rural beaches. It is certainly the beach of Teresitas which stands out among all those listed, but we can not forget the many black sand beaches that make up our landscape. Does not understand that the inclusion of the marine park in the same area that the beaches because unlike previous artificial in nature, and somehow you can not say that it is eminently sea. On the other hand, considers the reference to the parks of the Farm and García Sanabria respectively, but missed in the presence of absence Park Viera y Clavijo. Other than that I think in this area, the website is quite accurate in its treatment.

Teatros de Santa Cruz de Tenerife: Teatro Guimerá

El proyecto fue realizado por el arquitecto municipal y provincial Manuel de Oraá en 1848. Se trazó como un edificio de dos pisos, de planta rectangular, con forma de herradura en uno de sus lados menores, al igual que en todos los teatros del siglo XIX. La fachada está rematada por un plinto central, con el nombre de Isabel II y el escudo de la ciudad. Fue inaugurado el 25 de julio de 1851.
Ha sufrido un buen número de reformas para adaptarlo a las nuevas necesidades de los espectáculos y representaciones, como, por ejemplo, el aumento de su longitud para ganar espacio en el escenario y en los camerinos.

Santa Cruz de Tenerife: Auditorio de Tenerife

Comenzaremos con el Auditorio de Tenerife, uno de los elementos de mayor interés de la capital. Es una Obra del arquitecto Santiago Calatrava Valls y se encuentra emplazado en la avenida de la Constitución. Su construcción comenzó en 1997 y finalizó en 2003, siendo inaugurado el 23 de septiembre de ese año con la presencia de Felipe de Borbón, Príncipe de Asturias. Es un espacio ideal para la celebración de congresos, galas y actos de gran importancia en el ámbito de ocio y el espectáculo.
No obstante no todo son elogios para el auditorio. Ha sufrido cambios de ubicación, incrementos en su presupuesto además de un supuesto incumplimiento con respecto a la normativa de seguridad.
Once we've seen some examples of buildings of tourist interest in La Laguna, we will refer to the island's capital, which also has many elements that make it attractive for tourism demand.

It is an ideal venue for congresses, galas and events of great importance in the field of leisure and entertainment.
But not all praise for the audience. Has undergone changes in location, budget increases in addition to an alleged breach with regard to safety legislation.
