“El Rincon” Square
Venue for the indigenous people at the western end of Canteras beach
Just a few years ago this architecturally modern square was built some hundred meters from the Auditorio Kraus. The straight lines and the area made of huge concrete panels, from which you have an amazing view near dawn, seem to be a continuation of the line of the horizon.
At the lava and rock marked coast great stairs of stone have been built, which are appreciated by the indigenous people as a quiet place to read a good book at or to watch surfers clambering about big waves at the surf-spot El Lloret.
Right behind el rincon, which translates to “the corner”, there is the square of music, or plaza de la musica. In recent years this western “corner” of Canteras beach became more and more popular with young and old citizens alike. Various bars, cafes, restaurants and nightclubs opened around this square, which made this area of town pulsing with life. The shopping mall Las Arenas, also a few hundred meters away from el rincon, features various international restaurants and a beautiful roof terrace with a wonderful view over Canteras beach.
