Many visitors admire the imposing opera house in Santa Cruz, the Auditorio de Tenerife, which is often referred to as the symbol of the city or even of the whole of Tenerife. The building shapes the harbor skyline, distracts from the neighboring oil refinery, and is a place that not only houses the best symphony orchestra in Spain, but also outstanding opera events and festivals.

The most outstanding musicians in the world can be found right next to it, on the stone blocks below the protective wall around the esplanade.

From Mozart to Paul McCartney, Beethoven or Michael Jackson, Rimski-Kórsakov or Johnny Cash, everything that has written music history is represented here. A walk along the wall to discover your favorite musician is fun.

It was in 2010 when the Bulgarian artist Stoyko Gagamov started to paint the cubic or irregular, huge stone blocks with faces.

It was in 2010 when Bulgarian artist Stoyko Gagamov started painting faces on the cube-shaped or irregular giant stone blocks. However, it began with the face of the architect Santiago Calatrava, who was commissioned to construct a concert hall in 1989, which was inaugurated in 2003. He then painted the singer Luciano Pavarotti, and over the next eight months he added 98 other faces of musicians. He called his work “The 100 Faces”. Tenerife.com
