Aquarium of San Sebastián
The Aquarium of San Sebastian sits right on the old harbor, built around a historic building that originally housed the city's oceanographic society, and it combines a maritime history section with a modern aquarium, including a walk-through tunnel with sharks and rays overhead. It's a smaller, more manageable aquarium than the big city-scale ones elsewhere in Spain, sized appropriately for a couple of hours rather than a full day.
Its harborside setting makes it easy to combine with a walk along the port or up Monte Urgull just behind it, and it's a solid option for families or for a rainy-day alternative to the beaches nearby.
