Acuario de Almuñécar

The Almuñécar aquarium, located 500 metres from San Cristóbal beach, hosts a wide variety of Mediterranean species.

The visit to the aquarium offers a journey through the ecosystem and marine fauna of the Mediterranean, and especially, the Almuñécar coast. It also has 18 aquariums and the impressive oceanarium with one million litres of water, over a 17-metre-long panoramic tunnel.

Inside the installation are, approximately, 3000 specimens belonging to 270 different species. Highlights include, amongst others, the impressive grey and bull sharks, the sea horses and the jellyfish.

The Almuñécar aquarium is a point of reference for tourists and visitors from Almuñécar, as it is the largest and most modern one in Andalusia.
