The Mediterranean

L’Aquàrium de Barcelona is the largest Mediterranean-themed aquarium in the world. To find out more about it without needing to get wet, we suggest that you delve deeper and deeper into discovering the 16 tanks that represent the Mediterranean’s different marine communities.

In each aquarium, you can learn about the most characteristic species. You will also be able to observe two recreations of protected areas on Spain’s coastline: the Ebro Delta and the Medes Islands, and take a walk through the acrylic tunnel that runs the length of the Oceanarium, which gives you the feeling that you are swimming with the sharks.

An aquarium is a very delicate and constantly evolving environment. It may happen that some of the indicated species are not present in the aquarium visited, due to reasons entirely beyond our exhibition and educational intentions.
