for the celebration of all kind
of events; two important centres
stand out: the capital of Las Palmas

the Island. |

is one of the most emblematic places,
since there is a modern chain of
centres and hotels which are able
to accommodate congress participants
from anywhere in the world.

Kraus Auditorium - Canary Islands
Convention Centre is the
most attractive and newest building
because of its spectacular architecture
and location. Risen in front of the
Las Canteras beach, this colossal
building, which evokes a fortress,
has a great appeal: the Symphonic

congress participants, is a wonderful
showcase to the Atlantic Ocean. |

has landscaped spaces and different
facilities which provide the organization
