Museos Flotantes: Submarino S-61 Delfín y Patrullero Albatros III
In Torrevieja's port you can step inside the S-61 Delfín, the only Spanish Navy submarine turned into a museum ship, around 58 metres long, alongside the patrol boat Albatros III from the former Customs Surveillance Service. A singular chance to explore the cramped innards of a real submarine.
You don't often get to climb down the hatch of a real submarine. In the port of Torrevieja, the Floating Museums let you go inside the S-61 Delfín, the only Spanish Navy submarine turned into a museum ship.
What you'll see
The Delfín is around 58 metres long, and walking through it means squeezing along its cramped innards: the torpedo room, the engine room, the tiny berths where the crew lived. Moored next to it is the patrol boat Albatros III, from the former Customs Surveillance Service, which you can also visit.
Before you go
- Entry is paid; the spaces are narrow, so mind your head and the steps.
- It's worth confirming opening hours before you go, as they can change by season.
It's one of the port's most unusual outings and pairs well with a walk along the Dique de Levante out to the lighthouse.
