A historic Spanish galleon will moor up in Newcastle for the first time, letting visitors explore this floating museum.
The Galeon Andalucía is over 160ft long and is a beautiful replica of the ships used by Spanish explorers in the 17th to 19th centuries. Board the galleon and wander along its six decks, learning about the ship and Spanish naval history as you go.
This experience is the perfect family-friendly activity for summer, transporting you back in time to life on the treacherous ocean.
