LAS COLORADAS
Spanje
Las Coloradas is known as the largest underwater museum in Europe. The museum has three hundred sculptures spread over an area of 2500 m2. This so-called Museo Atlantico is popular with divers and snorkelers, but you can also view it from a glass bottom boat. Furthermore, the sculptures serve as an artificial reef for marine animals on the mostly barren sandy bottom. The project was carried out by British sculptor, Jason deCaires Taylor.
Particulars
Enter Las Coloradas from the boat. The statues are placed in a triangle and are all works of art. They stand out beautifully on the sandy bottom. The sandy bottom of Las Coloradas ends in a long rock full of crevices, cracks and caves and teems with marine life. You'll see moray eels, cleaner shrimps, squids, lobsters and much more.
Warnings
Don't touch the sculptures of the underwater museum of Las Coloradas.
