Located in front of the Playa de las Canteras, it ranges from the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium to the urbanized part of the Paseo at that time, which completes the pedestrian route from the two ends of the eight kilometers of beach that go from La Puntilla to El Rincón. Using native vegetation, the same pavement material as the rest of the Paseo and shapes that recall the traditional circles with which the farmers of the islands frame their plantations, and that, at the same time, contrast with triangles pointing towards the ocean symbolically breaking the waves. Small sculptures in corten steel and a large monument in memory of Alfredo Krauss complete the work.
