A look at the Finisterrae Aquarium. Galicia. Spain

in Worldmappin4 months ago

A little over a month ago I was in A Coruña walking with a friend, it was a quick visit for personal matters but I wanted to take advantage of the trip to learn more about the city.

If you ask Google "things to see in A Coruña" you will find the Aquarium Finisterrae as one of the must-see places. As we had time we decided to go and take a look at it.

The aquarium consists of different rooms, in some there are interesting stories about different marine species, in other rooms, we can find interactive and educational games for the little ones of the house and also for adults although it is more directed at the little ones.

Hace poco mas de un mes estuve en A Coruña paseando con una amiga, realmente fue una visita rápida por asuntos personales pero quise aprovechar el viaje para conocer algo más de la ciudad.
Si le preguntas a Google "cosas para ver en A Coruña" te va salir el Aquario Finisterrae como uno de los sitios imperdibles. Como teníamos tiempo decidimos ir a echarle un vistazo.
El acuario se compone de diferentes salas, en algunas hay historias interesantes sobre diferentes especies marinas, en otras salas podemos encontrar juegos interactivos y educativos para los pequeños de la casa y también para adultos aunque es más dirigida para los pequeños.

One of the most awaited activities is the seal feeding time, when you are buying tickets and the seal feeding time is near then you are asked to stay until that time because that is when you can see the seals and their feeding ritual.

Honestly I find it impressive that the boys who feed them do not get confused and feed the same seal twice, I am also amazed at the obedience of these little animals, each one waiting patiently for their turn to take their food.

Una de las actividades más esperada es el momento de alimentar a las focas, cuando estas comprando las entradas y la hora de alimentar las focas está próxima entonces te piden que te quedes hasta ese momento ya que es cuando se pueden ver las focas y su ritual de alimentación.
Honestamente me parece impresionante que los chicos que las alimentan no se confundan y alimenten dos veces la misma foca, también me asombra la obediencia de esos animalitos, cada una esperan con mucha paciencia su turno para tomar su alimento.

The room that visitors like the most is the Nautilus room, as it is submerged and has large crystals that offer a spectacular view of the largest fish, it also has corridors that make you feel like you are inside a submarine.

Sin duda la sala que más gusta a los visitantes es la sala Nautilius, como está sumergida y tiene grandes cristales ofrece una vista espectacular de los peces más grandes, también tiene pasillos que te hacen sentir que estas dentro de un submarino.

It was a very pleasant experience to visit this aquarium, even though it was a very quick walk I think I was able to see a lot of what it has to offer, and I got a good impression. If you ever want to visit it I recommend you to go with enough time because just to see the seals feeding takes about an hour and if you go too fast then you don't get to enjoy the rest of the rooms. On the website, you can see the opening hours and admission prices.

Fue una experiencia muy agradable el visitar este acuario, aunque fue una caminata muy rápida creo que pude ver bastante lo que ofrece, me llevo una buena impresión. Si alguna vez quieres visitarlo yo te recomiendo que vayas con suficiente tiempo porque nada mas ver a las focas alimentarse te toma alrededor de una hora y si vas muy apurado entonces no alcanzas a disfrutar el resto de las salas. En la página Web puedes ver los horarios y los precios de la entrada.
