Museo Maritimo del Cantabrico

El acuario es de lo mas interesante, pero es una pena que no estaban illuminadas los carteles de descripcion de los peces. Tambien son interesantes los esqueletos de las ballenas.

No se si es que no entiendo mucho de museos pero he los visto mejores. No obstante si estas en Santander debes visitarlo, aunque mi opinión es algo caro para lo que puedes ver dentro. Aunque llegue con poco tiempo porque cerraban, en menos de una hora me dio tiempo a verlo, y eso que me quede media hora mirando los peces que creo que es lo mejor de este museo.

If you are fortunate enough to find yourself in the lovely city of Santander then you really should not pass up on the opportunity to visit this first class museum. Covering just about every imaginable topic in the area of marine studies, a wander through the museum will take you past a video and some brilliant exhibits about how the coast of Cantabria and northern Spain in general was formed, the importance of the sea in the original settling and continued inhabitance of this area, the state of the maritime industry today and how conservation is managed by the government. If this were not enough, it has a huge variety of marine biology on show, the highlights being a full-​sized whale skeleton in the main hall and a pickled two-​headed fish!
It is not only the contents of this museum which deserve comment. The building itself is fantastically designed, being an instantly recognisable landmark. It is centred around a main hall, with galleries leading off from this on all floors. At the top of the building there is a restaurant and, even better, the roof is open to the public, so that you can go and admire the views across the bay and out to sea. They have also constructed an outdoor lecture theatre up on the roof if only all my school and university classes had been given in a setting like this! Adult tickets are EUR6, while concessions (including students) will pay EUR4. This is an absolutely top rate museum, and not to be missed.
