The Teatro Auditorio de Cuenca!!

Posted in Europe, Spain

This is new post with older picture that again was not in my blog but needs to be. To give you an all around taste of this wonderful memorable city of Cuenca. The Teatro Auditorio or Auditorium theater of Cuenca has not been inside but took a ride by it and its impressive. Let me tell you a bit about it; and hope you enjoy the post as I

The theater is right next to the hill of Socorro or relief with an impressive Christ on top with impressive views of all the old town of Cuenca. The Monumento al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús , on the hill going up road of San Pablo, or the Monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is a statue built in honor of Jesus of Nazareth at the top of the Socorro hill, at an altitude of 1,147 meters. The works began in the summer of 1951 and after great local effort was completed and consecrated on July 14, 1957, The 30- meter high monument consists of a 20 meter pedestal made of stone from the Cuenca quarries, on top of which stands a stone statue of Torrubia del Campo. The statue is crowned by a halo of galvanized iron. cross-shaped 8 meters in diameter and 2 meters high. At the base of the work is an image of the Virgen del Socorro or Virgin of Perpetual Help. At the top of the Socorro hill, at the foot of the monument, there is a viewpoint from which you can see the old town of Cuenca !

The Auditorium Theater of Cuenca was inaugurated on April 6, 1994. The building, with a modern structure and design, occupies the space that was previously excavated by a quarry, on the slopes of Cerro del Socorro, next to the Huécar river and facing the old city. A wide and slender staircase leads to a large lookout square. A light canopy precedes the glazed entrance, behind which the spacious and bright halls open. The entire main façade is glazed, so that from any point of the building the impressive spectacle of the old town of Cuenca is visible, almost within reach.

It has two rooms or salas, The Sala Uno (room one) is distributed in several sectors and levels, so that a pleasant feeling of intimacy is achieved, very different from that produced by gigantic crowded auditoriums. The stage of this room allows three environmental arrangements: theatrical type, musical type (by mounting an acoustic box) and in front of the opening curtain. Sala Dos or (room two), coquettish and welcoming, has a semicircular layout, typical of university auditoriums. It is very suitable for conferences, medium-sized assemblies, symposiums, seminars, presentations, etc.

Inside the Teatro Auditorio de Cuenca there is a nice restaurant which again not tried yet but looking forward to eventually on my next visit to the city.  The pic above is from below to the resto corner. For memory, I put the link here: http://cuencacomidaengrupo.com/el-restaurante/

And remember, happy travels, good health, and many cheers to all!!!

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
