Summary
Summary
Our selection of the 9 best aquariums in Spain
A beluga staring at you through the glass in Valencia, sharks gliding over your head in Barcelona. Between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Spain has what it takes to turn a rainy day, or a heatwave, into a life-size dive. Nine places particularly impressed us, and they are well worth a visit.
L'Oceanogràfic
From the Arctic to tropical seas, a whole tour of the world's oceans awaits in this oceanographic park in Valencia's City of Arts and Sciences.
The belugas often steal the show, even in the underwater tunnel where sharks and rays pass overhead. Plan a full day: the site is best explored at a relaxed pace.
- Location: City of Arts and Sciences, Valencia
Palma Aquarium
One of the deepest in Europe, the big shark tank has made the reputation of this Majorcan aquarium, which cares for more than 8,000 animals of 700 species.
A living coral farm supplies the main reef, and the sharks are fed every afternoon. The most adventurous can even book a dive in the tank.
- Location: Palma, Majorca
- Price: from €30.50 per person
Acuario de Sevilla
Magellan's voyage is the common thread: you set off from the Guadalquivir to cross the Atlantic, the Amazon and the Pacific, through 35 tanks and more than 400 species.
Two sand tiger sharks rule the nine-metre-deep Oceanario, which you walk along through a glass tunnel. Allow around two hours, touch pools for children included.
- Location: Seville
- Tanks: 35
Barcelona Aquarium
Eighty metres of underwater tunnel cross the Oceanarium, the large tank of this aquarium in Port Vell. Sharks and rays glide above visitors.
Mediterranean species fill a large part of the tanks, alongside tropical fish. Ideal between a stroll along the Rambla and lunch in Barceloneta.
- Location: Port Vell, Barcelona
- Underwater tunnel: 80 metres
Poema del Mar
The effect is striking from the entrance: a huge glass wall opens onto the main tank of this aquarium in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, set on the harbour.
The route takes in a jungle, a reef and the deep sea, home to sharks and rays. A visit that comes at just the right time when the Canary Islands sun is too strong.
- Location: Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
- Price: from €19 per person
San Sebastián Aquarium
Even before the tanks, an area devoted to Basque maritime history traces the region's fishing and shipbuilding, in this aquarium on San Sebastián's harbour.
Then comes the highlight of the visit, a 360-degree tunnel surrounded by sharks. Mount Urgull and La Concha are right next door to extend the walk.
- Location: harbour of San Sebastián
Aquarium Finisterrae
Sitting in the middle of the fish, you watch the big tank from the Nautilus room, a nod to Jules Verne's submarine, in this aquarium in A Coruña.
Outside, a pool is home to a colony of seals facing the Atlantic. The site combines well with a walk to the nearby Tower of Hercules.
- Location: A Coruña
Marineland Mallorca
With children, it is often the highlight of the stay: two daily shows feature the dolphins of this Majorcan marine park, alongside sea lions.
The giant aquariums house sharks and tropical fish, and a greenhouse recreates an equatorial forest with iguanas and parrots. Humboldt penguins and pink flamingos complete the visit.
- Location: Costa d'en Blanes, Majorca
- Price: from €32 per person
Sea Life Benalmádena
Small in size, big on atmosphere. This Sea Life on the Costa del Sol is located in Benalmádena marina, around twenty minutes from Málaga.
The route, designed for children, combines touch pools and interactive areas. The visit is easy to combine with a stroll around the marina and its restaurants.
- Location: Benalmádena marina, Costa del Sol
