LAS PALMAS POEMA DEL MAR

Transfer to the Santa Cruz dock to leave by ferry to Gran Canaria, arrival at Puerto de las Nieves (Agaete), to go directly to the Poema del Mar aquarium in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Within its facilities, around 12,500 square meters, 35 marine and river ecosystems from all over the planet are concentrated. It pays homage with its name and with its architectural lines to the Canarian artist Néstor de la Torre, who stood out in the avant-garde of the early 20th century. It has the largest curved glass in the world (a methacrylate weighing 140 tons, 36 meters long and seven meters high) exhibiting some 350 species from 35 ecosystems, in enclosures where you can see from tunas, sharks, piranhas Peruvian black, freshwater stingrays and eyeless fish, even crocodiles and lemurs. After this visit, transfer to the downtown area for a walking tour of the historic center of Vegueta with free time for food (not included), return to Puerto de las Nieves (Agaete) to leave for Tenerife.
