19 September 2026 A Coruna: The Aquarium and the Sculpture Garden


We finished up our visit to this part of A Cotuna with a tour of the aquarium and the Sculpture garden.  The Aquarium was nice with indoor tanks, a seal enclosure outside and a underground area made to look like the Nautilus of Captain Nemo fame.  We particularly liked the sea horses and the sardine swarm tank.  In addition there was a gallery of award winning nature photos.  Then we drove on what may have been a limited access road to get to the sculpture garden.  No harm was done with our driving.
