Mediterranean Marine Park
Imagine an idyllic spot right in the centre of the city offering 56,000 square metres of spectacular blue salt water lakes, waterfalls and diving boards, with a solarium surrounded by beautiful palm trees... This is the Mediterranean Maritime Park.
The Mediterranean Maritime Park is seen by new arrivals when they enter the port of Ceuta with a line of palm trees that outline the city centre. Below all this cement and steel, the posthumous work by the artist César Manrique is the main tourist attraction in the area and one of the best leisure options for residents of Ceuta. This work by Manrique was designed as a transposition of the Martiánez lakes in Tenerife, IN the Canary Islands, to Ceuta. The stone used to build it simulates the construction of the Monumental Complex of the Royal Walls and there is A small Royal Moat, which is used by swimmers, in its three huge salt water lakes, encompassed in a botanical park with species from all over the world.
