PORT VELL-OLD TOWN. This is arguably the largest aquarium in Europe. As you wander through, you will see aquatic species from all over the Mediterranean. The sharks seem to be the main attraction, and there is even an underground tunnel that allows you to watch them swimming above you! METRO: Barceloneta/Drassanes

TARRAGONA. This unique park is on the site of a 19th century slaughterhouse. Its main attraction is Joan Miró's statue "Dona i Ocell" ("Woman and Bird") that rises out of a small lake. The rest of the park is beautifully landscaped with flowers, pine, eucalyptus, and palm trees. You will even find a charming café on the grounds to stop in for a relaxing drink. METRO: Tarragona/Espanya

OLD TOWN. The Citadel was built on this site in the 1700's. After its fall, the fortress was turned into a park in the 19th century. Walk through the city's Triumphal Arch to enter the park and admire the cascade, a fountain built by Josep Fontseré, who was assisted by his young student Gaudí. Wander through the beautiful gardens. Don't miss your chance to visit the zoo and Museu de Zoologia, which are located in the park.

OLD TOWN. This zoo is located in Parc de la Cuitadella. There are over 7,000 animals, none of which are caged. Rather, they are separated from viewers by a moat. There are aquarium shows with dolphins and whales most afternoons. Parc Zoològic is home to the world's only captive albino gorilla, Copito de Nieve, which means snowflake. With over 500 species, this zoo will provide an afternoon of family entertainment.
