Containing Europe’s largest variety of sea-life, the Oceanográfico attracts visitors from around the world to see everything from sharks to seals (in separate tanks, of course).
The modern architecture, including curved arches and glass, is typical of La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias region of Valencia.
At our first stop, Anna captured the artificial ocean surrounding the glass walls of the underwater tunnel.
So this is what a fish sees. Looking through the glass, we had the views normally reserved for scuba divers.
Descriptions of fish could be found along the full length of the artificial reef’s window.
“You are approaching the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa”… hopefully not by sea.
This beluga whale thought he was sly, but we caught him checking out his reflection on the surface.
Back outside, we watched as a seal surfaced from the cool depths for a breath of fresh Spanish air.
In the hot plains of Spain, these South American penguins had their fair share of the spotlight.
The “demostracion del delfin” ended the day on a high note… literally.
