Mediterranean Maritime Park
Ceuta
The Mediterranean Maritime Park in Ceuta is an extraordinary leisure complex covering approximately 56,000 square meters. It features three artificial saltwater lakes filled directly from the sea, making them suitable for swimming during the spring and summer months (April to September). The park is beautifully landscaped with gardens, ornamental waterfalls, and sunbathing areas surrounded by palm trees. It also offers sports facilities including three paddle tennis courts and two tennis courts, complete with changing rooms and equipment rentals. A distinctive architectural centerpiece in the park replicates the Royal Walls of Ceuta and the San Felipe moat, housing a casino, nightclub, and restaurant. Designed by the renowned artist César Manrique from Lanzarote, the park was inaugurated in 1995, nearly three years after Manrique's death. The project was led by civil engineers Juan Alfredo Amigó Bethencourt and José Luis Olcina Alemany, who also directed similar projects such as Lago Martiánez in Tenerife. The park serves not only as a recreational area but also as a cultural and social hub hosting concerts, shows, and events like food festivals and paddle tournaments, making it a vibrant destination in the heart of Ceuta.
ヒント: Visit during the warmer months from April to September to enjoy swimming in the saltwater lakes. It is advisable to reserve your sunbed in advance through the park's official website.
