We'll arrive at Las Nieves Port, in the town of Agaete in Gran Canaria, and from here we'll head to our first stop in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: the Poema del Mar Aquarium. In this space, located in the Puerto de la Luz precinct and inaugurated in 2017, you'll find 3 different marine environments: the jungle, coral-beach and the ocean-great depths.
