Who Alex Ubago Is
Alex Ubago is the stage name of Alejandro Martínez de Ubago Rodríguez, a Spanish singer-songwriter who rose to prominence in the early 2000s. His debut album “¿Qué pides tú?” appeared in 2001 and turned him into a familiar voice across Spain and Latin America. For foreigners who have not followed Spanish pop closely, Ubago sits in the adult-pop and singer-songwriter tradition, with piano-led arrangements and lyrics centred on love, longing and quiet reflection.
His songs tend to be melodic and unhurried, closer to a seated theatre performance than a high-energy arena production. That makes the Santiago show a comfortable entry point for expats who want to hear Spanish-language music in a relaxed setting. Ubago’s voice and phrasing are clear, which also helps listeners who are still building their Spanish comprehension.
The tour marks 25 years since the release of his debut album “¿Qué pides tú?”. Audiences can expect the romantic ballads associated with that period, together with later material that kept him on the charts in Chile and elsewhere in the region.
The Tour and the Santiago Date
The Santiago concert is part of a longer Chilean run. It continues in Viña del Mar on 4 October, followed by dates in Coquimbo, Talca, Chillán, Concepción and Frutillar during October, and further cities announced by the organisers.
For expats and nomads in Santiago, the timing is convenient. The show falls on a Saturday evening, which allows for a full dinner before the 21:00 start and a slower return home afterwards. Santander Arena (formerly Movistar Arena) is a major indoor venue, so the concert will go ahead regardless of weather, unlike some open-air events in the city.
Availability can change quickly. Check the Puntoticket seating map directly before you plan your evening, and buy sooner rather than later.

Venue, Getting There and Practical Tips
Santander Arena is located on Avenida Beaucheff 1204, in Santiago’s Parque O’Higgins area. The venue is one of the city’s main indoor concert spaces and hosts large international and Latin American acts throughout the year. Its location near the park means there are green spaces and food options within walking distance, though the immediate surroundings can get crowded on event nights.
Public transport and rideshare both serve the Parque O’Higgins area. Demand for rides rises sharply when a concert ends, so consider walking a few blocks away from the arena before requesting a car.
For foreigners, standard city precautions apply. Keep your phone and wallet secure in crowded areas and avoid displaying large amounts of cash. Arrive early to reduce queueing and give yourself time to find your sector.
What Else to Do in Santiago That Week
Santiago in early October sits at the start of spring, with mild days and cooler evenings. The Parque O’Higgins area around the arena is pleasant for a daytime walk, and the nearby Fantasilandia amusement park can be a lively stop for families. The city centre, with landmarks such as Plaza de Armas and La Moneda, is a short metro ride away.
For food, the Barrio Lastarria and Bellavista neighbourhoods offer a range of restaurants and cafés that suit different budgets. Bellavista also has a strong nightlife scene, though it can be busy on weekends. If you prefer a quieter evening before the concert, book a table in Lastarria and then take the metro to Parque O’Higgins.
Expats looking for a cultural add-on can check the schedule at the Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral or the Museo de la Memoria, both accessible by public transport. The concert itself is the main event, but Santiago has enough nearby to make the evening feel like a full outing rather than a single stop.
