Aquariums in Europe - Spain (Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza)

Image
Arapaima collection in River Aquarium - Zaragoza: The Barcelona aquarium is extremely overrated: pretty small, crowded and expensive. They do have a few beautiful species - lionfish, jellyfish, cuttlefish - not often seen in aquariums, but compared to other aquariums from Europe is vastly inferior. Valencia's L'Oceanografic is expensive, but well worth the money.  It is very large, well organized, you can spend a whole day there, and also includes a dolphin show.  There are also exhibitions of birds, butterflies and other animals, very spacious aquariums and experts explaining different things.

Acvariul din Zaragoza (River Aquarium)    a fost o surpriza foarte placuta, neasteptandu-ma sa fie atatea specii interesante si spectaculoase de apa dulce. Este foarte ...
