Music Square
The young and dynamic corner at Canteras beach
The placa de la musica is situated right behind the music-centre Auditorio Kraus. It is a spacious square riddled with palm trees and at its right side leaning towards the open Atlantic. In recent years some recommendable nightclubs opened here. Especially at weekends the atmosphere of the nightclubs spill over to this square where hundreds of people of all ages celebrate and enjoy the starlit sky. But also during the days this square’s cafes and restaurants are a popular venue for the indigenous people. Numerous benches and stone stairs invite to rest. Especially in the evening during the hours close to sunset the view of the Atlantic is particularly beautiful.
Right below the place is the area known as el Rincon, which is also a modern and scarcely furnished square. There is no need for more adornment though, because the natural elements are the main attraction here. Directly below the place explode waves often up to 4 meters high. At low tide discoverers can even climb down to the rocks and look for sea shells orcrabs, which rove about there at millions.
