Swimming with dolphins in Spain!!??is there such thing or not?

Question

Hello, does anyone know if you can swim with dolphins in spain whether in captivity or naturally? I have searched on the net but its not very clear. some say you can go on trips to see them but cant swim with them?and some say there are no dolphins in spain at all!!!??? If anyone has any idea please let me know...as im off to malaga in september and really really want to swim with dolphins! cheers x

Answer 1

Near Malaga you have SelwoMarina in Benalmadena. They have dolphins but they just offer swimming with sealions.

In Andalucia there is no other chance to see dolphins in a park. You can try by boat but I've been doing watersky for many years in those waters and I was lucky just once. In Puerto Marina (Benalmadena) and probably at any port in the area you'll find the dolphins watch service but they never guarantee you'll finally see them.

The closest place to Malaga that offers swimming with dolphins is Zoomarine in Albufeira, South Portugal. It's more than 4 hours away from Malaga and the experience costs 145€. I wonder how much a dolphin costs!!!

Anyway, enjoy your holidays in Andalucia!

Answer 2

I believe someone asked this question and was told that it was against the law, but that might have been the specific location.  

Let me see what I can find for you.

*edit*

Here's an interesting site:  though, without looking into any of the links, they don't look like Spain.

Meantime, skip Spain, come to the US.  You can swim with dolphins in Florida, and California, and there are several locations in Mexico as well.  :)
