The inauguration event for Calatrava’s Agora is the ATP Open 500 tennis event which is on right now until November 8th. I went to see Alberto Martin vs Andy Ram but mostly came to see the brand new Calatrava building. The new building is stunning but on the second look it seems like that the tennis event was sneaking up fast on the organizers. On a closer look things seemed unfinished and compromised. But this will hopefully change after more time passed by.
All together the Agora is breathtaking from the in- and outside. From the inside it feels very organic and also reminds me of the Noah’s Ark. Kind of like the Marriott hotel in Atlanta.
I’m going again for the final on the 8th but might cover some other events. I Would love to see Ferrer but don’t see anywhere when he is playing.
There are still tickets available, even for the final. So if you are interested in going yourself act fast.
