Abriendo Puertas (Spanish: Opening Doors) is a 1995 album released by Gloria Estefan. It is her sixth studio album as a soloist and second Spanish language album released.
Abriendo Puertas was the second Spanish language studio album released by Estefan after her successful Spanish debut album, Mi Tierra.
In contrast to Mi Tierra, an album primarily influenced by Cuban music, Abriendo Puertas draws on a wider variety of Latin American musical styles. For instance, the title track is an example of vallenato, a Colombian music genre. Several of the songs refer to Christmas and the New Year.
Estefan's second Spanish album won Best Tropical Latin Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards, her second Grammy Award. The album was also awarded "Tropical Album of the Year" at the Lo Nuestro Awards. The album has sold 2,3 million copies outside the USA.
