Later, after checking in at the hotel we went for a visit to the Oceanogràfic center on the other side of the city, we had a nice walk around and apart from the captives we also saw Scarlet Darter (Crocothemis erythraea), Western Cattle Egret (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis), Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto) and Yellow-legged Gull (Gaviota Patiamarilla / Larus Michahellis).

We returned to the Hotel where we had a rest and then had what can only be discribed as a very rough Burger before turning in as we have a very early start in the morning.
