Acuario de Almuñécar, Public aquarium in Almuñécar, Spain
The Acuario de Almuñécar is a public aquarium located on Plaza Kuwait in the coastal town of Almuñécar, in southern Spain. It has more than twenty tanks spread across two floors, including a glass tunnel that lets visitors walk through while fish and other sea animals swim all around them.
The aquarium has been updated over time, with renewed displays and improved facilities. It has become a regular part of what the town of Almuñécar offers to both residents and visitors.
The aquarium sits on Plaza Kuwait, close to San Cristóbal beach, and is easy to reach on foot from the seafront. Opening hours change depending on the season, so it is worth checking in advance, as the place stays open later in the evening during summer.
One of the more unexpected features is a photo display showing the actual seabed found off the coasts near Almuñécar and La Herradura. These images give a direct view of what lies beneath the nearby beaches where many visitors have swum.
