This is a multi-purpose facility in Santa Cristina d’Aro, Girona, in the district of Baix Empordà. Santa Cristina d’Aro is situated close to the coast, in the upper reach of the Vall d’Aro, and the river Ridaura flows through it close to the town centre.The municipality is growing as a result of the large amount of tourist activity during the summer months, which means that it already possesses considerable leisure and cultural facilities. Nonetheless, the facilities in Santa Cristina were very basic and quite a few years old, as well as being at some distance from the town centre. So much so that the concerts of the Santa Cristina International Chamber Music Festival took place in the parish church.It therefore became essential to build a new facility that could accommodate the rich cultural and leisure life of the town in a venue that would meet the requisite standards of quality, with sufficient capacity, and equipped with the latest technology, making it possible to programme both professional performances and local gatherings.The Espai Ridaura therefore provides a multipurpose space with room for 345 seated spectators (1,286 standing), suited to the fundamental functions of a small auditorium—stage performances, dances, small trade fairs, lectures, small conferences, etc. A system of fold-away seating enables the level central space to be cleared, making it possible even for vehicles to enter.
