"The Arts Centre of Alcobendas – Giving the arts a high profile." by David Spence del Valle, ,

Isn’t this building just impossible to ignore? It is one of the most eye-catching structures in the Spanish town of Alcobendas. As soon as you walk in, you will feel the buzz. There is an almost palpable sense of enthusiasm and love of culture in all its forms. Inside, you will see people of all ages engaged in a wide range of activities. The centre provides great classical and contemporary music, superb collections of photography, art exhibitions, classrooms and a multimedia library. The building itself boasts ecological features, such as photovoltaic panels and a rooftop garden.
The point of my photograph is to show that this striking building occupies a prominent position in the town, reflecting the view that cultural activities should be a major part of our lives. The people of Alcobendas agree. Congratulations, Alcobendas!
