Crocodile Park, Torremolinos, Spain

The Crocodile Park is 15 minutes from the railway station or, if you take my shortcut, around 80 minutes! It makes a very good trip and if you take the guided tour, which I must say is excellent, you will learn a lot of things you didn’t know about crocodiles.

Between November and the end of February, the crocodiles are kept in a sort of greenhouse environment as they are cold-blooded creatures, for the rest of the year they are outside in the sun in numerous pools. Most of the inmates are Nile crocodiles but there are also a few alligators and they are quite different, both in looks and temperament.
