How about a visit to Castellar Zoo<\/strong>, a zoo that differs from others you have seen?\u00a0 This is a great day trip for all animal friends and families with children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Castellar Zoo<\/strong> is in reality an animal rescue centre<\/strong> for exotic animals and is one of the great unknowns of Andalusia.\u00a0 Partly because it does not advertise as much as other larger zoo\u00b4s, however everyone who has visited it will recommend that it is worth their time.\u00a0 It is just a small zoo which opened to the public in 2002.<\/p>\n Castellar Zoo began as a private initiative where it took care of exotic animals that had been confiscated by the authorities or animals that have been kept as illegal pets.\u00a0 The animals were cared for and given the best conditions of life possible, considering that they had already been removed from their natural habitat.\u00a0\u00a0 A few years after the rescue centre opened up, the owners decided to open it to the public so that people could enjoy and learn from these animals.<\/p>\n The big difference between Castellar Zoo and others is that, being a small zoo and born as a rescue centre, it is a very familiar zoo.\u00a0 People can touch and play with the animals and even feed them \u2013 always with the guidelines from the animal keepers. This makes the experience for both children and adults, so much richer.\u00a0 In the Zoo de Castellar you can amongst others see Adon (a white tiger), Sasha (a Bengal tiger), Bambina (Baby antelope) and Daniel (a white parrot).<\/p>\n
