Have you ever been on a submarine? In the port of Torrevieja you can do so by visiting the S-61 Delfin, a submarine converted into a Floating Museum <\/h2>\n\n

What is the S-61 Dolphin Submarine Floating Museum? If we told you that Torrevieja has a military submarine that you can access in the same port, would you believe us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The “S-61 Delfin” Submarine<\/strong> is an icon for culture and the union between peoples, an expression of the depth of our seafaring roots.<\/p>\n

The Delfin is a Daphne-class submarine loaned by the Spanish Navy to the Torrevieja City Council<\/strong>, thus becoming the “first floating museum” of these characteristics in our country.<\/p>\n\n

Our seafaring tradition and our relationship with the Spanish Navy led Torrevieja to hand over the combat flag to the submarine S-61 Delfin on December 1, 1974.<\/p>\n\n

When the time came for its decommissioning, the Ministry of Defence was kind enough to deliver the last flag of the S-61 to the city of Torrevieja<\/strong> in an endearing ceremony at the Arsenal of Cartagena. Subsequently, the definitive transfer of the submarine took place, which can be visited in the port of Torrevieja.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

With the help of the Museum of the Sea and Salt, since May 8, 2004, the Delfin Submarine becomes the first ship of the Spanish Navy to become a floating museum<\/strong>, offering those who visit it the possibility of knowing the interior of a submarine and imagining what the living conditions of its crew members were like.<\/p>\n\n

The Delfin submarine has arrived at its last port and is already part of the image of Torrevieja, having received more than 1,300,000 visits since it became a floating museum.<\/strong><\/p>\n
