Auditorio Manuel de Falla, Granada

You'll want to get dressed up in your best outfit to mingle inconspicuously with Granada's "in" crowd, who tend to frequent their home orchestra's productions in this 2500-seater concert hall. The prestigious Orquesta Ciudad de Granada (Granada City Orchestra) use it as a base and usually perform the work of well-known composers to an appreciative audience. The usually formal atmosphere changes during festivals, when tourists, locals, jazz fans and tango aficionados get together in the same hall. It's used as a venue during the Festival Internacional de Música y Danza (International Music and Dance Festival), Festival Internacional de Jazz (International Jazz Festival) and Festival Internacional de Tango (International Tango Festival). The hall was built to honour the composer, Manuel de Falla, who lived and worked here on the side of the Alhambra hill for 20 years during which he created some of his most enduring and internationally famous music.
