A swimming pool in Torrevieja, Alicante, has gone viral on TikTok, because if you look at it from the sky on Google Maps it looks like a map of Spain.
So far, the video has reached over 2.7 million viewers.
A great way to escape the summer heat, apart from the best beaches in Spain, are swimming pools, whether natural or artificial. But now the one in Torrevieja has gone viral for its curious shape. TikTok user Carlos Barnes was in charge of sharing this discovery, which he came across by chance while playing a game: “Do you know what the most curious pool in Spain is?”.
The special thing about this pool is that it is shaped like the Iberian Peninsula, but the big thing about it is that they have even separated Portugal from Spain by building a ‘border’. Replies to his video asked why there was not a jacuzzi in the shape of the Balearics.
This guitar-shaped swimming pool is a replica of country music singer Webb Pierce’s original swimming pool at his home in Oak Hill.
At the Posthotel Achenkircht in Austria a yin-yang swimming pool separates the cool water from the warmer area.
At the Sweet Escape hotel in Florida, there is an ice cream-shaped swimming pool.
Meanwhile, at the Apartelle de Francesca in the Philippines, there is a pool shaped like a foot, even with toes, after the owner’s fashion brand logo.
And finally, to see Texas in a different way, the Marriott Marquis Houston hotel features a river shaped pool after the American state.

That guitar shaped pool is violin shaped
Good spot Bob but perhaps the designers thought they were recreating a Hohner Violin Bass guitar as played by Paul McCartney when in The Beatles
That doesn’t look like a Hofner violin bass. I used to sell them when I had a guitar shop in London. It’s a violin shaped pool and very nice it is too. Very clever with it’s chin rest.
